Bash

Bash slams into your opponent to knock them down. It can only be used once a fight has started, and it does no damage.

Bashing costs you balance and leaves you unable to act for 3 seconds. If it hits and your target fails an opposed Strength roll (size matters), the target is knocked down and loses 3 seconds as well. This works the same on players and mobs. Mounted targets cannot be bashed.

Bash has a much lower chance of hitting if you are not one of the main combatants (i.e. not tanking).

You can also bash a treasure chest to try to open it: 'bash <chest>'. All party members (including NPCs) help with chest bashes.
