shove

Discworld command help

shove

Name

shove - Push someone to the ground.

Syntax

shove <living>

Description

This command allows you to push your opponent to the ground. This does not directly injure them but does leave them vulnerable since they must regain their feet and return to a fighting position.

The effects of shoving are subtle and may not be immediately obvious but that does not mean they are not present.

Your ability in fighting.special.unarmed determines your ability to prepare this tactic, and your unarmed grappling skill combined with your strength determines the efficacy of your manoeuvre.

The opponent's defence skill and their strength and dexterity determine their ability to defend against your attack.

It will cost you 30 fighting guild points to attempt to shove somebody.

Example

> shove warrior
You prepare to shove the warrior.
