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

Charge requires a polearm (and left hand for two-handed poles) that is a puncturing weapon.
