Title: Shield bash?
Post by: lemmiwinks on June 27, 2003, 04:19:44 AM
As I passed over the combat section I failed to notice any manuevers regarding a shield bash or push.  Are there any rules that I missed that regard this issue?

I may be mistaken, but the Sword and Shield proficiency includes Bind and Strike, which uses the shield to execute the "Bind" component.  Not exactly shield bash, granted.  I expect if this is going to be gotten into, it'll be in The Flower of Battle, an up-comnig supplement.  Have a closer look at the proficiency lists for maneuvres that include the off-hand.  And not just the Shield and Sword prof.

You might find the discussion near the end of Any Swordsmen on this List? SCA? Etc? handy. Conducting a search for it should also prove to bear fruit.[/u]
