BASH [SKILL COMMAND]

Type: Combat
Target: Melee opponent
Syntax: bash <victim> or simply bash

Description:
 The purpose of a bash is to send an opponent sprawling to the ground and thus
 render it helpless for a short period of time.

 To successfully land a bash, skill in bashing and offensive bonus are the two
 most important factors, while the best defence is a high dodge bonus.

 The duration of a bash is largely decided by strength and skill in bashing.
 Wearing a shield also adds good momentum to the bash and increases the 
 duration of a bash. 

 Bash with no target will attempt to bash the target you are currently engaged
 to. Bash <target> will attempt to bash said target. This will work if you are
 either a) not engaged to anyone in melee, b) you are engaged to target, or
 c) engaged to someone else in melee, but target is engaged to you. Trying to
 bash someone you are not fighting while fighting someone else is not possible.
