Level 9 now, in ToA.
Shield Master was the right decision.
What a great feat, both offensive and defensive.
I shield-shoved so many monsters successfuly, they almost never have athletics.
Chose str+2 in level 8.
What I find amazing, at every table I have ever played at, is you can suggest players focus fire on a creature and it just doesn’t happen. But if you use, as an example, shield master to prone someone and then say “if you attack this guy that I proned you get advantage” players will leap across traps, risk opportunity attacks, etc to get to where they can roll more dice.
To get a group to play as a team asking them isn’t the best option!
