You gain proficiency in shields, and can wield them as a weapon with which you are proficient.
When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can use a bonus action to shove an adjacent creature with your shield. If you do so, you can choose to either knock them prone or push them up to 5 feet away from you.
You can use your shield to block incoming attacks. When you are hit by a melee attack that you can see, you can use your reaction to raise your shield, gaining a +2 bonus to your AC against that attack. This bonus increases to +3 if you have the Shield Master feat.
When you take the Dodge action on your turn, you can choose to crouch behind your shield, gaining full cover against ranged attacks until the start of your next turn. However, you cannot move until the end of your next turn.
