The great stag is medium in size and about six feet high in his current state.
The stag is too easy for the likes of you!

Your careful inspection of a round shield allows you to conclude that it is a large shield that protects the bearer if carried in the left hand.

Your careful inspection of a nicked illthorn greatshield allows you to conclude that it is a tower shield that protects the bearer if carried in the left hand.

Description

Attempt to wallop your foe with your shield.

Mechanics

Maneuver a target with your shield, dealing minor impact and minor unbalance damage. Applies Vulnerable to the target for (15 + (Rank * 5)) seconds and Staggered for (Success Margin / 5) seconds, and reduces stance.

Additional Information

As of the Player System Manager - Phase 3 update, the versions of Shield Bash available via CMAN and SHIELD are the same.

Factors

  • Shield Bash ranks.
  • Shield use ranks.
  • Endroll.
  • Shield size.
  • A random roll for damage level, heavily modified by the aforementioned factors.
  • Basher vs. Target size.

Stun duration, knockdowns, and forced stance change are calced independently based on the damage level of the hit. Larger shields give a penalty to hit but a bonus to the hidden roll for effects.
