You have mastered the art of using your shield as both a defensive tool and a weapon. When wielding a shield, you gain the following benefits:
Shield Bash: As a bonus action, you can make a melee weapon attack with your shield against a creature within 5 feet of you. The attack uses your strength modifier for the attack and damage rolls, and deals 1d4 bludgeoning damage on a hit. If You are proficient with martial weapons, the damage increases to 1d6.
Shove Enhancement: Alternatively, you can shove as a bonus action while wielding a shield. You gain a +2 bonus to the strength (athletics) check. Additionally, if the shove succeeds, the target takes bludgeoning damage equal to your strength modifier (minimum of 1).
