Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

How do you Shield Bash? Do you need the Improved Shield Bash feat? or can you do it without it?

You can shield bash without the feat just hold down shift like you normally would to block but hit the attack button and you'll see yourself do a shield bash.  Try it against inanimate objects like barrels first to get the hang of it and the timing of going from defensive to offensive mode.

The advantage of the Improved Shield Bash feats is that you get to keep your ac bonus with your shield while bashing.

Is the problem with Shield Bash that you tend to only get it against melee opponents, things like spellcasters and archer types, just keep doing that nice little 5ft hop back, so you end up out of range, and you can't really chase them very effectively with the SHIFT key down.

Yeah that's one thing against shield bash is that it's short range so against mobile targets it's not as effective.  But you really shouldn't be using it for that.

Shield bash works best when you are being the wall.  Standing there tying up an entry and keeping monsters at bay.
