Tackle is a combat maneuver that allows a warrior to hurl themselves at a target and attempt to knock it down. When a tackle is successful, the target will also receive a roundtime penalty and possibly hitpoint damage. The target's minimum RT penalty is 5 sec. at endroll 101 to a maximum of 20 sec. at endroll 202. Added HP damage only occurs with endrolls of 200 and greater. The minimum HP damage at endroll 200 is 3 and increases to a maximum of 50 at endroll 340.

The tackle maneuver can also be trained in the Warrior Guild.

Roundtime Penalty Formula

Formula uses a ceiling function.

$\mathrm {R} oundtime{=}\left\lceil 5+((Endroll-117)/6))\right\rceil$

148-153	11		196-201	19
154-159	12		202+	20

Added Damage Formula

$\mathrm {D} amage{=}\left\lfloor 3.5+((Endroll-200)/3))\right\rfloor$
