Knocking an enemy Prone with a Shield Mastery attack could actually be helpful to the enemy in some cases depending on their Initiative. For instance, my party of 3 spellcasters got kind of irked last game when I knocked an enemy Prone right before their turn. In later rounds I just pushed him up against a wall...gaining nothing but a bit of RP taunting. Shield Mastery already gives a lot, its a really great feat that I don't regret taking at all, but I do agree it would be nice to provide other options. For instance, if it allowed you to make an optional off-hand attack with the Shield then that would be a cool way to choose between extra damage or the utility of shoving an enemy.</blockquote>
