Shield Bash?

[DungeonMaester]

Where is it? I can only find Shield Bas as the feat 'Improved Shield Bash' in the feat section and it isn't described in the section for combat actions as well. (Fishing for a page number, thanks.)

I believe you'll find it under Equipment.

Thanks.

The only thing I've found was a mention of shield basing on page 125 of the PHB in under shield but its just referring to it as a attack. I could of swore it was some sort of stunning attack but I guess it was something else.

A shield bash is just hitting someone with your shield (hence their damage is listed in the weapons section), you can do it with a light or heavy shield (and even a buckler, but there is rarely any point). If you do you lose your AC Shield bonus. You do not need a special feat to do it. Improved Shield Bash just lets you keep the AC bonus.

err, not with a buckler
see the bucklers description, PHB pg 124

Sorry right I was thinking of the Shield Sling feat, that lets you throw your shield injure and trip someone, it says something like you can throw your buckler, but neither injure or trip with it, you can't throw your tower shield.

There is a feat Shield Slam, that lets you daze an opponent with a shield bash either as part of a charge or as a full round action (it's in complete warrior).
