Description
Instead of attempting to wound your foes with a shield charge, you have learned how to best send them careening into one another, knocking them down and sowing havoc on the battlefield.
Mechanics
If you are successful upon attacking your primary target, it will be sent careening into another foe on the battlefield before falling to the ground. If a secondary maneuver check is passed, that foe will also be knocked down. All foes successfully affected by this maneuver will suffer Roundtime. Applies Vulnerable for
(15 + (Rank * 5)) seconds and Staggered for
(5 + (Success Margin / 6)) seconds to any target hit.
