Counterbash skill

Skill 'counterbash'.

• Group: 'defensive'.
• This is a passive skill, it works automatically.

Counterbash is a passive skill of the sentinel. Every blow caught by shield block may become a charge, the more often the better the skill is learned, up to three charges. With three charges the next blow the shield catches comes back at once: the sentinel throws his whole weight behind the shield in a free bash, by the rules of bash: the heavier the shield, the harder the push, and the enemy may go down. Constitution above 20 gives a chance that one block adds two charges, the better the closer it is to 28.

Every block renews the charges for one tick: about a minute after the last caught blow they are gone. Counterbash needs bash learned, a shield worn and a one-handed weapon in hand that is not a polearm.
