If the shield is heavy and you're under no time pressure, just bait him towards you and wear him down. Make no real attempts to attack him until he has worn himself out defending your feints with the heavy shield. Even better, run away and go find a decent crossbow. | |

If it's a tower shield, it would be like trying to kick in a door that has someone leaning on it from the other side." Or trying to kick in a door that has someone leaning on it from the other side only to find out they aren't leaning on it from the other side. I've kicked and bashed in doors as a firefighter, and you use different methods if think there will be continued resistance (something against the door) or if you expect it to suddenly give way. If the shield bearer takes a sudden step back so resistance suddenly goes away, kicker falls. | |
