Yea I had an iksar SK on live, so I could never use the slam, but what I am really wanting to know is when you get to train the bash skill, does hitting slam increase the bash skill and/or increase slam's damage. without ever having to worry about just hitting bash(so I could go without ever needing a shield to increase bash points, except for tanking that is)...heck I am starting to confuse myself lol

There's no Slam skill. Slam works based off Bash. If you have Slam but no Bash (ie. Ogre/Troll/Barbarian Shaman) you'll miss most of the time and only Slam for a max of 1 damage. If you have both Slam and Bash, then Slam will do additional damage based on your Bash skill, as well as connect much more often. You will also gain Bash skill by using Slam. You do however, lose the damage bonus from actually using a shield (which is based on the AC of the shield iirc). Remember that you must have a magic shoulder item to Slam magical creatures.
