Is it ever worth using Kick as a Warrior with Bash?

Slam afaik is same as bash? a free bash for big bois?

would have been cool to like give a shields AC a damage bonus to bash or a bash stat even, so you could have a low AC shield with spikes that do big bash damage.

Yeah Slam and Bash are basically the same, other than the shield requirement and the magic weapon check coming from your shoulders. Slam skills up bash, and I haven't seen any damage differences between the two.

Warriors don’t really use shields, so bash isn’t good.

Good non-large-race warriors keep a shield in a top-level inventory slot and momentarily swap it in to Bash.

Also, since the Bash skill cap is higher than Kick skill cap, I think that means you're more likely to land a Bash than a Kick.

Shield AC affects Bash damage. Don't think anything other than skill/str/level affects Slam damage. It's just eye candy tho, even with a high AC shield we're not talking significant damage output from Bash unless you're into one-shotting orc pawns.
