Shield bash is a skill similar to bash, although it differs in a few key ways. First and most obviously, shield bash requires a shield to use. More importantly, shield bash has a higher likelihood of lagging other characters affected by protective shield, be it from class features or pills. Larger characters have a higher chance of success when shield bashing than smaller ones.
Use of this skill, when successful, lags the basher by two rounds. When it fails, that lag increases to 3 rounds. The character being bashed, if the attack succeeds, will be lagged for a minimum of 2 rounds. A character who is asleep, sitting, or resting cannot be shield bashed.
This skill synergizes with the binding spell Jaws of Idcizon, which makes it do slightly more damage.
