Depending on your shieldbashing skill and the defence of your opponent, you may also do a slight bit of damage. This is however extremely low amounts when done to other humans, rarely crossing the 5 damage mark (Unless your bashing a unarmored foe). Other factors in this include your and your opponents body strength. And what armor (if any) the person being shield bashed is wearing.
