Power Bash is one of the nine perks of Block in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It can be used with any shield or blocking weapon, but consumes more stamina than a normal bash. It can be improved by a following perk to increase its damage by 5 times. To execute a Power Bash, simply hold the action button instead of clicking it once, just like performing a Power Attack with any melee weapon. The Power Bash staggers enemies for a noticeably longer period of time than the regular bash does, in addition to doing more damage.
