Requires: bash

Speed: very slow

Usage

• charge <target>

The charge skill is a mid level skill used by warriors to start combat, or to attack alternate targets when in melee combat.

You may charge at a target to start combat, or you may charge at targets that you are not directly attacking, but your current target will be too close for a charge to work effectively.

A successful charge may also knock an opponent to the ground, similar to the 'bash' skill. Even if you fail to knock down an enemy, you may overbear them enough to leave them temporarily unbalanced.

• Can be used in combos with Battle Tactics.
• Tends to ignore armor, dealing consistent damage to similarly-sized targets. Smaller targets take more damage and are more likely to be tripped.
