With the Shield Charge combat maneuver, the attacker attempts to run a target down and deliver a solid blow with a shield. The damage it causes tends to be minor, but can result in a target knockdown, stun, and/or forced higher stance. While it is a somewhat wild charge, and significant roundtimes can result. If the attacker is unlucky, he can end up sprawled on the ground himself.

This maneuver takes ranks in Shield Use into account.
