Bash
Bash is a warrior skill and delayed command that allows you to attempt to knock a person down.
Effects
- Stun: If successful, the victim will suffer minor damage, fall on their rear, and be stunned for a short time.
- Backfire: A missed bash results in the basher falling over.
- Utility: It can be used to disengage someone from a fight or to break certain doors.
Mechanics
- Prerequisites: Lots of muscle, great agility, and an iron will are important.
- Success Rate: Depends on your skill level, your offensive bonus (OB), and the victim's defense. Success is reduced by the weight you are carrying.
- Equipment: Works best with strong races and heavy shields.
Affinity
Firebeard Dwarves have a natural bonus to the bash skill and a bonus to bashing exits.
