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.

The damage and gaining bash skill while using slam is what I really wanted to know thanks. But I didn't know about the magic shoulder item to hit magical creatures, just thought it needed to be a magic type sword/axe/blunt.

I knew about the damage bonus depending on the AC of the shield, like I said, my old iksar SK was nothing more than sword and board lol.

Again thank you all for the input.
