So Shield Bash Rank 1 gives as much dmg as a dagger? Maybe shields could have modifiers to increase that dmg?

I agree, the types of blow you are throwing with your shield hand can vary a lot. Compare shield bashing with a center grip buckler, where you are mostly contacting with the face of the shield to smother hands and forearms, to "shield dueling" with large round Viking era center grip shields, which use shield edge strikes to pin opponent's limbs and shoulder joints. It's about knowing how to use the shield you have.

I also agree that some shields should have a small bonus to damage. There are some Scottish & [url=http://www.tripadvisor.com/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g35805-d103239-i115935046-Art_Institute_of_Chicago-Chicago_Illinois.html]Italian Targes with wicked spikes[/url, intended to catch incoming weapons, but also to seriously harm the opponent, which we can extrapolate out to Crystal shields, etc. Modeling it like a Forge Weapon bonus would work.
