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.
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.
