Shield Bashing

what could the effect be though? having the other player lay down is not really a safe option, so maybe like a disarm? personally I think shield is pretty BA already, so unless the other styles got a bump, I would advise aginst it.
 
In the game I play that has it, they have a few special calls, but the ones that would work the best with Alliance would be a Pin (holding someone against a wall via your shield) and a Waylay (slamming their face to unconciousness). They also allow limited use of a spell parry with them as well.

Not saying to use them, just how they'd translate from the one game to the other.
 
Why would having a player lay down be unsafe? We already have a plethora of effects and states that require you to lay down - Waylaid, Slept, Unconscious, Dying. That said, I imagine we could simply have it be a Massive damage attack. It could be Parried, Evaded, or Dodged, but was otherwise usable as a response to someone hitting your shield.
 
all of those require you to lay down(take a knee slowly or lay down slowly if you want even), and stay down. A constant up/down effect similar to a disarm would be unsafe(and maybe impossible for some players) imo.
