Shield Bash with Tower Shield?


Advice


Title pretty much says it all: is there a way to shield bash with a tower shield? Normally you can't, but just wondering if there is a feat, or archetype, or class feature, or prestige class, or something that lets you shield bash with a Tower Shield.


As far as I know there is not a current feat for that. It's not a good option, but you could use one as an improvised weapon.


would be nice to be able to do, but there isn't a way to do it


Which is too bad, because the Scutum (Roman Tower Shield) was made for bashing. It had the disadvantage of being susceptible to sundering by the Kopis/Falcata and the Falx, due to the light construction needed to make a Tower Shield that one could bash with. Unfortunately, Pathfinder doesn't have a Scutum.


Hmm...Improvised Weapon doesn't sound too bad. There are builds that could go around that. Wouldn't get any use out of "Shield Bash" support since it isn't technically a Shield Bash.

If you made an Improvised Attack with a shield, would you still lose the AC bonus? Doesn't the AC bonus loss only apply if you Shield Bash?
