Hello,
Couple of questions for the local mechanics :
I've read that shield bash grants up to 3 attacks - first once you take the feat, second at BAB 11 and third at BAB 21. Is this true?
If it is, how does it work with Northlander Hewing? Same as normal attacks*2/3, IE 2 bash attacks or something else?
How is AB penalty applied? Only to bash attacks or as a global penalty? Would wearing a light shield remove any possible penalty?
How does Shield Charge work, what it actually does I mean?
Thanks!

Re: Shield Bash Feats
I did some testing and I believe it works as intended, you get 3 attacks as your BAB increases. Not sure how it works with NH.
AB penalty is -2 for Heavy Shields, if you use Light Shield you don't get penalty. Didn't test it with Tower shields because I hate those and never use them.
Shield Charge provokes a trip check (I don't know the maths behind it) if you manage a shield bash attack while charging (so you have to have Epic Charge).
All in all, they are fun feats but require massive feat investment. Not worth it, IMO, as there are better alternatives to pick.
