What it does

A low, wide sweep at the legs: arc 160 degrees at the class's reach, wind-up 0.32 s (mace 0.18). Power 2.6, stagger 30, doubled on M and L bodies (60). Every foe hit is hobbled: slowed 40 % for 3 s. A beast of size M or L met while charging, or winding up a charge or a leap, is stopped dead and staggered at once whatever its meter (bosses: +60 stagger instead). Weight: spends all pips, +0.2 power per pip.

Edge: Lame

The hobble lasts 4 s instead of 3.
