In your hands, shields are both protection and weapon. You gain the following benefits:
Shield Strike. You can use a bonus action on your turn to make a weapon attack with a shield you are wielding. This attack uses a d4 for damage and uses your Strength Modifier. The attack deals bludgeoning damage.
Quick Riposte. When you are attacked from within the reach of your weapon and you are wielding a shield, the attacker takes 2 damage of your weapon's type.
Shield Charge. After moving at least 25 feet towards a creature you may replace your Attack action with Shield Charge. Make an attack with your shield with advantage. On a hit deal damage as you would with Shield Strike, and the target is dazed until the end of its next turn. A dazed creature can make more no more than one attack on its turn, moves at half its normal speed, and cannot disengage. A creature immune to being stunned cannot be dazed.
