Bash
Syntax: bash [target]
Bash has the potential to damage and temporarily daze yourself and/or your
opponent for approximately two rounds. While dazed, one cannot heal, flee, or
perform other extraneous combat actions (i.e., that individual will be able
to dodge/parry/attack but nothing else). These same consequences are
inflicted on your opponent if it is a player character, otherwise the skill
only inflicts damage. A shield is required for the bash skill to work, unless
mounted, in which case the trample feat is required.
Note that bash has a drastically reduced chance of hitting if the basher is
not one of the primary combatants (i.e. is not tanking).
* Tower shields and bucklers can not be used to bash
* Each bash attempt provokes an attack of opportunity, unless one has taken
the improved bash feat.
* As with all combat skills, using this replaces the normal round of attacks
you would otherwise automatically perform.
