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.
