Staggering Blow is a combat maneuver that allows one to swing at an opponent and attempt to knock them off balance. The opponent suffers roundtime based on the degree of damage done by the blow.

There is a chance for the opponent to be knocked into an adjacent room if the attacker is strong enough. This effect requires a Strength bonus of 15 or greater.
