Changes

Shield bashing is the skill of the advanced use of shields, offensively and defensively, in combat. A successful shield bash can [[stuns|stun]] the opponent and knock them to the ground.

* While having a shield equipped in the shield slot on the left arm, select '''shield bash''' from the combat stance bar (or bind SHIELD_BASH to some key). Successful bashing in combat results in an event message about the enemy combatant "sprawling on the [[ground]]".

* The quality of the shield used makes no difference to the chance of knocking down the intended target.

* Shield bashing skill does not change the duration between bashes.

* The use of differing [[fighting]] stances, approaches, and skills have no effect on shield bashing.

* While shield bashing, players may gain both [[Skills:Shields|shield]] and shield bashing skill.

* The duration of a successful "stun" varies and is not known to have any maximum limit.

* Depending on shield bashing skill and the defenses of the opponent, some damage may also be dealt in a successful bash. Factors in this possible damage include the player's and their opponent's [[body control]] as well as what [[armour]], if any, the person being shield-bashed is wearing.
