[QUOTE="Sean Culligan, post: 7543989, member: 6915216"] If you choose to shove a creature as part of one of your attack actions and also choose to shove using the Shieldmaster feat which comes first... the bonus shove or the shove attack? Answer - "It doesn't matter..." Here are all of the relevant rule breakdowns and I don't care how old this thread is because this hadn't been done fully yet. ShieldMaster Feat: You use shields not just for protection but also for offense. You gain the following benefits while you are wielding a shield: • If you take the Attack action on your turn, you can use a bonus action to try to shove a creature within 5 feet of you with your shield. PHB189 Bonus Actions: "You choose when to take a bonus action during your turn, unless the bonus action’s timing is specified." PHB192 Actions in Combat: "The most common action to take in combat is the "Attack action", whether you are swinging a sword, firing an arrow from a bow, or brawling with your fists. With this action; "you make one melee or ranged attack. See the "Making an Attack" section for rules that govern attacks." PHB194 Making an Attack: "If there's ever any question whether something you're doing counts as an attack, the rule is simple: if you're making an attack roll, you're making an attack." PHB195 Melee Attacks - Shoving a creature: Using the attack action you can make a special melee attack to shove a creature, either to knock it prone or push it away from you. If you're able to make multiple attacks with the attack option this attack replaces one of them." Since a shove requires an attack role it can by itself initiate the "attack action" and according to these these rules it can also occur anywhere in the sequence. [/QUOTE]
