On slight successes ([[endroll]]s 101 to 125) the target will be knocked off balance with a slight push (a [[roundtime]] penalty). On more substantial successes (ER 126 to 150), the target will be knocked down with roundtime. Minimum roundtime at ER 126 is 3 sec. with a maximum RT penalty of 15 sec. at ER 205. When endrolls are greater than 150 the target will also sustain [[HP]] damage. Minimum HP damage at ER 151 is 10 and increases to a maximum of 35 HP at ER 275.

Bull Rush is a combat maneuver that allows the attacker to attempt to rush an opponent and knock them to the ground.

On slight successes (endrolls 101 to 125) the target will be knocked off balance with a slight push (a roundtime penalty). On more substantial successes (ER 126 to 150), the target will be knocked down with roundtime. Minimum roundtime at ER 101 is 3 sec. with a maximum RT penalty of 15 sec. at ER 205. When endrolls are greater than 150 the target will also sustain HP damage. Minimum HP damage at ER 151 is 10 and increases to a maximum of 35 at ER 275.
