[edit] Execution
Although shove relies on unarmed skills, it may be performed whether holding a weapon or not. In order to successfully shove an opponent, one must:
- Pass a fighting.special.unarmed test in order to prepare the attack.
- Succeed in a skillcheck of fighting.unarmed.grappling and strength against the opponent's appropriate fighting.defence skill, strength and dexterity.
[edit] Effects
The effects depend on the degree of success of the skillcheck:
- A high degree of success results in the victim being sent crashing to the ground, costing them a lot of action points. They remain at a substantial AP disadvantage until they get up again (which occurs automatically). During this period, they cannot be tripped or shoved again.
- A lesser degree of success causes the victim to stumble, costing them a few action points.
- Failure causes the attacker to stumble, costing them a few action points.
