You use shields not only for protection, but also for attack. You gain the following benefits while wielding a shield:
• If you use an Attack action on your turn, you can use a bonus action to try to push
a creature within 5 feet of you with your shield.
• If not incapacitated, you can add your AC shield bonus to any Dexterity saving throws you make against a spell or other harmful effect that targets only you.
• If you're the target of an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to cut the damage in half, you can use your reaction to take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, putting your shield between you and the source of the effect.
