"If you take the Attack action on your turn, you can use a bonus action to try to shove a creature within 5 feet of you with your shield."
I have been wanting a "shield bash" ability ever since I started playing. This however is not it unfortunately. What I have to ask though is what is the differance between this "ability" and the general shove ability? To me it just sounds like you're "using your shield" instead of your hands??? If that's the case it seems just pointless to me. I'm guessing that I am missunderstanding things here though and would like someone to please clarify what I'm not understanding.
I still eagerly await a "shield bash" ability/feat. I'm not really sure why but I've always liked the idea of smacking you upside your head, or just in your body in general, with my shield. Basically like a 2nd attack but with a shield as the weapon. I know everyone has seen this happen in movies so you have got to know what I'm talking about. Lol.
