Results

A successful shield bash has the opponent make a bad move, i.e. their combat window turns red and they moved at extremely slow speeds. The length of this condition varies from under a second to up to 4 seconds.

Depending on your shieldbashing skill and the defence of your opponent, you may also do a slight bit of damage. This is however extremely low amounts when done to other humans, rarely crossing the 5 damage mark.
