Hrm the idea of shield bashing someone to knock them away/down/stun seems pretty iconic, so I think its just an oversight..?

Shields have no force of impact stat. Not sure why it was left out 10+ years ago when they wrote the shield system. Also not sure what we can do about this going forward.

Add a force of impact based on weight * density?

It seems pretty crucial. Every movie I see when someone shield bashes someone its generally to knock them back/off their feet. Seems central to the theme.
