Shield Master feat

[Miawh]

Please devs, can you add Shove with 2 choices, push or knock enemy prone for Shield Master feat ?
And reaction to take 0 damage if dex save success ?
And add "AC shield bonus" to your dex saving throw and not only "a single +2" ?

Thanks.
Player loving shield.

that is (by RAW) standard to the shove action. So really there should already be an option to shove prone or ONLY 5 ft. away.

It also shouldn't be a %&#$ing bonus action but look where we've ended up so far.

The fall damage it can cause is already bad enough, imagine how it would look if a fighter could through use of a single bonus action could get a chance for 2+ (more with Action Surge) free advantage melee attacks.

...Sorry for the tangent, I just really REALLY hate bonus action shove.

I wouldn't go so far as to say I hate it, but it was a change that has serious systemic implications which I don't know if Larian really considered (particularly for higher levels with multiple attacks as a part of the attack action).
