{{name}} is a skill belonging to the [[Shield]] skill tree.
 
Shield Slam grants the "Shield Slam" activated ability, which can only be used on adjacent targets while the user has a shield equipped. Creatures who are hit by Shield Slam must make a [[Strength]] [[save]] to "resist" being slammed, in which case nothing will happen. Failing this save will cause the creature to be knocked [[prone]] and take bludgeoning damage.{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World.Parts.Skill|class=Shield_Slam|method=Slam|name=Slam}}
 
If the user's shield is modified with [[spiked]], Shield Slam will deal additional damage equal to the user's Strength modifier, and will deal stabbing damage rather than bludgeoning. Additionally, Shield Slam will cause targets to begin [[bleeding]], taking {{Heart}}{{dice tooltip|1d2}} damage every round. This bleeding will have an initial [[Toughness]] [[save]] difficulty of '''20 + the user's shield's {{AV}}AV value'''.<ref name="Slam"/>
 
Creatures who possess Shield Slam and use [[Charge]] will automatically use Shield Slam against targets they charge, provided they have a shield equipped. This will occur even if Shield Slam is on cooldown, and will not set Shield Slam on cooldown.{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World.Parts.Skill|class=Shield_Slam|method=FireEvent}}
 
If the user is wielding more than one shield, the one with the highest {{AV}}AV is used.{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World.Parts.Skill|class=Shield_Slam|method=CheckShield}}
 
== Formulas ==
The following formulas are used to determine the save difficulty and damage of Shield Slam. Shield Slam's description does not display the correct damage formula; the one shown here is taken from the game's code.<ref name="Slam"/>
{|class="wikitable"
! Save Difficulty
| {{simple formula|20 + Strength Modifier}}
|-
! Damage
| {{simple formula|(Strength Modifier)d2 + Shield AV}}
|}
In both cases, "Strength Modifier" refers to the ''attacker's'' Strength modifer.

{{Opinion}}
Knocking targets prone on top of {{Favilink|black ooze}}, {{Favilink|brown sludge}}, and {{Favilink|green goo}} has the same effects on other creatures as on the player.
