Shield Bash

In your hands, a shield is not just a defensive tool, but a formidable weapon, capable of laying your opponents low. You gain the following benefits when wielding a shield:

Gain proficiency with the shield as a weapon. The weapon statistics of a shield are 1d4 + strength modifier bludgeoning damage, or 1d6 + strength modifier if wielded with two hands.

On your turn, if you take the attack action to make an attack with a weapon, you may use your bonus action to make an attack with your shield.

Shield Bash: If you take the attack action on your turn and use your shield as the weapon, on a hit, the creature, no more than one size category larger than you, makes a Strength save (DC = 8 + proficiency bonus + Strength modifier) or is knocked prone.
