What it does

A low hooking sweep at the nearest foe in a 100 deg arc within 1.2 tiles: 1.3 x roll, 12 poise, and it goes down (S 1.0 s, M 0.6 s). Down: it can't act, it's drawn lying (its frame turned 90 deg), and it's its own state, never a stun (Coup de Grace ignores it). A creature caught mid-charge or mid-pounce falls for twice as long. L bodies take the blow and the poise but never fall. A downed body is what Collar Grip pins and Rafter-Drop lands on.

Edge: Both Heels

Hooks the two nearest foes in the arc.
