Description

Slam your head into your opponent's head.

Mechanics

Maneuver a target, dealing minor crush damage with your head. Helmets provide a bonus and are more effective than regular armor. Can force targets to kneel, stun them, or render them unconscious. Applies Staggered for (Success Margin / 10) seconds.

Additional Information

Head protection (including armor, not just armor accessories) that has flares or spikes has a chance to activate when using this maneuver.

If you are wearing a helmet, the benefits it gives get processed instead of the armor you're wearing (with some exceptions). So, if you're wearing a spiked helmet, and a spiked and flaring armor, you will only see the spikes processed.

The target must be standing to use the Headbutt maneuver. Headbutt uses the height system, so shorter races will have more difficulty using it, and it is unusable against particularly tall targets.
