Description

Charge at your opponent with your polearm.

Mechanics

Charge can be used with most polearms to damage and knock down an opponent. In some cases, it can stun your opponent and/or force them to lower stance. Poor attempts may have adverse effects on the attacker.

Additional Information

If the endroll is -50 or below, the attacker is considered to have fumbled the attempt and may fall prone.
