You use shields not just for protection but also for offense. You gain the following benefits while you are wielding a shield: If you take the Attack action on your turn, you can use a bonus action to try to shove a creature within 5 feet of you with your shield.
If you aren't incapacitated, you can add your shield's AC bonus to any Dexterity saving throw you make against a spell or other harmful effect that targets only you.
If you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you can use your reaction to take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, interposing your shield between yourself and the source of the effect.
?It seems if a feat could be modded to add the ability to shove with a bonus action like you have done here that would be a really good stand alone addition (and be really awesome to add to fighters and paladins). Would that I knew anything about making mods...
The issue with implementing core game content is that it's submitted to Wizards intellectual property, and they could pose problems to the game's devs if they discovered any mods that allow to access it. Since the devs don't have the licence for that, and stuff.
