Skill Name: Crowd Press

Mnemonic: cpress

Hostile: Yes

Stamina Cost: Base 25 (-5 Rank 1, -3 Rank 2)

Other Requirements: None

Available to: Warriors, Rogues, Paladins

Prerequisites: None

Description: Attempts to maneuver in close to a target, preventing both you and the target from moving away and performing some actions, increasing attack strength and aiming chance for small, maneuverable weapons, and lowering it for large weapons, ranged weapons, and bolt spells.

Notes: In most instances, both parties engaged in a Crowd Press will experience the same effects. Aiming and AS are affected, depending on the weapon being used. Smaller weapons will improve, while medium and larger weapons will get worse, the degree of bonus or penalty depending on the size of the weapon. Ranged and thrown weapons as well as bolt spells will get a large penalty.

Those engaged in a Crowd Press will experience a DS penalty when attacked by a third party, as well as restrictions from performing certain activities such as hiding, using certain combat maneuvers or leaving the room through non-magical means.

Players can attempt to STOP the Crowd Press at any time. If the other party engaged in the maneuver is disabled, the attempt will succeed. Otherwise, the chance of success is based on the user’s Crowd Press ranks, the initiator of the Press having a much better chance than the victim. If the victim has no skill in the maneuver, they will have no chance to escape.
