NAME
  bash - smash an opponent over the head with your shield, or
     break down a door or other exit obstacle

SYNOPSIS
  bash <victim name>
  bash <direction or exit name>

DESCRIPTION
  Bashing a victim is a special combat move that requires one
  to be wielding a shield of some kind and allows one to smash
  his or her opponent over the head with it. Bashing requires
  a great deal of stamina and strength on the part of the user.

  This attack can disrupt spells, and even cause them to turn
  upon the caster.

  Please note that shields can be damaged more by bashing than
  through normal use in combat.

  The other use of bash is to knock down doors and other exit
  obstacles. While this does not require a shield, it can cause
  physical damage to the user.

  Minotaurs do not need a shield in order to bash in combat
  situations.

SEE ALSO
  kick, combat, hand to hand, spell surges and backfires

While heavy on stamina, bash is an excellent offensive skill in any fight, as it can also cause an opponent's spell to surge and perhaps backfire.

Bash can be used by Minotaurs while not wearing a shield. Damage to opponent is higher than with a shield.

Damage and stamina requirement rise as character gains levels.
