Shield Fighter

Your shield serves as more than just a means of defense, but also as a mighty weapon.  You gain the following benefits:

• You may don or doff a shield as a free action.
• While you have a shield equipped, you may use it as a martial melee weapon.  A shield deals 1d8 bludgeoning damage on a hit, and has the thrown property with a range of 20/30.  After you make a ranged attack with a shield, it lands in a space of your choice within 5 feet of the target.  If the shield benefits from a bonus to its armor modifier, you add the same bonus to attack and damage rolls made with the shield.
• As an action, you may throw your shield and make an attack against a number of creatures within 20 feet of you equal to or less than your proficiency bonus.  You determine which target the shield lands next to.  After you use this ability, you can not use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
