Hi,

I'll see if the penalty is in place. I fixed that for 35e, but PF I wasn't sure
about at the time,
and I didn't code the equipment.

I'm thinking its because its not "employed" in combat all the time, thus it
doesn't calculate it in. Course what other effect of attacking is there other
than combat?

Is it calculating the AC bonus the TS gives?

Exactly,

Search these boards and you will find the discussion (which I don't want to
rediscuss), or the Wizards site. basically:

Proficient in Tower Shield = -2 To Hit
Not Proficient in Tower Shield = -12 To Hit (-10 not prof -2 for shield itself)

The -2 is not being calculated it.
I changed to a Paladin, dropped the weapon focus. My +5 To Hit dropped to -5 To
Hit.

Either I have something else in wrong, or it's a bug.

That's not correct. It eliminates the penalty one get when using a tower
shield unproficiently. Still, check out the text on the tower shield in
the equipment section: "When employing a tower shield in combat, you
take a –2 penalty on attack rolls because of the shield's encumbrance."

Fighters automatically get Tower Shield Proficiency which negates any
penalty.

I searched the boards but I can't find what (if anything) I'm doing wrong.

PCGen 5.16.4 production
Pathfinder mode
* Pathfinder RPG for DM w/monsters
* Paizo - APG
* PCGen Enhance Renamer

Fighter 1
Human
Str 18 (+4)
Dex 15 (+2)
Con 14 (+2)
Int 10
Wis 10
Cha 8 (-2)

Feats: Power Attack, Weapon Focus (Bastard Sword), Exotic Weapon Prof (Bastard
Sword)

Equipment
* Full Plate (worn)
* Tower Shield (shield)
* Bastard Sword (primary hand)

AC 24 = 9 (plate) + 4 (tower shield) + 1 (limited dex)

To Hit +6 = 4 (str) + 1 (BAB) + 1 (Weapon Focus)
No penalty for the tower shield has been included. Am I missing something?

Also, I can't find a print --> troubleshooting sheet that I read about.
