[QUOTE="Asgorath, post: 7565775, member: 6921966"] Where's the rule that lets you go back in time and change your bonus action to an action instead? Given the fact that the Shield Master shove has a trigger of taking the Attack action first, how did you even do the bonus action first? The Sage Advice compendium is quite clear that this isn't supported by the rules, and I'm not aware of any rule that lets you retroactively change a bonus action to an action if something happens that prevents you from taking your action. Again, we can agree to disagree about what happened here, though I think his explanation of the original tweet (i.e. he replied when he did not have the books in front of him and then promptly forgot about it) is reasonable. Once he realized that the incorrect tweet existed, he's been going out of his way to correct it on many different platforms, including putting a new question about it in the latest Sage Advice compendium and doing a whole segment on Dragon Talk about it. If "following your bliss" means ignoring all of his most recent statements and essentially house-ruling that Shield Master just gives you a bonus action shove, more power to you. I just think it's really hard to argue that it's the intent of the feat at this point in time. [/QUOTE]
