Good idea. I hope you'll have more like those :).

I wouldn't think so. A higher rank would allow to learn better feats, 
but it wouldn't improve other feats. The effectiveness itself would 
most likely be determined by the weapon (or shield in your case) used. 
So a wooden buckler would do little bash damage while a large, spiked, 
tower shield would do a lot. However, it might take a rank of 3 in 
shields to actually use the large shield.

So while the feat remains the same, it does more damage at higher 
levels, simply because players have access to better equippment. If the 
feats themselves would also improve, the total effect would be too 
much, I think.
