With the Shield Bash combat maneuver, a character can attempt to wallop a target with a shield. The damage it causes tends to be very minor--but can knock the target down, stun it and/or force it to a higher stance.

When used with a spiked of flaring shield, this maneuver becomes significantly more dangerous.
