Shield Pin is a shield specialization maneuver allowing you to launch a diversionary shield bash and follow it with a weapon attack. The effectiveness of the diversionary bash is determined by your ranks in Shield Bash, with a -20 penalty that is reduced by 5 per rank after the first. A successful bash does not damage, but adds critical weighting to the following weapon attack. Spikes and flares on the shield can activate.
