Description
Charge at your foe with a powerful shield attack.
Mechanics
Maneuver a target with your shield dealing moderate impact and moderate unbalance damage. Can reduce stance. Applies
Weakened Armament to the target for (5 + (Rank * 2)) seconds,
Vulnerable for (15 + (Rank * 5)) seconds, and
Staggered for (Success Margin / 6) seconds.
Additional Information
(As of PSM 3.0) Shield Charge does not require Shield Bash as a prerequisite. It is somewhat stronger than Shield Bash but costs more stamina (14 vs. 9), and cannot be used for Shield Strike.
