OVERHEAD 'OVERHEAD CRUSH' Syntax: overhead <target> Overhead crushes are heavily favored by strong users of two-handed weapons. To perform an overhead crush, one uses both hands to raise one's weapon high above his head, then sends it crashing down with stunning force. How effective the attack is depends greatly on the attacker's own strength and how the victim attempts to defend against the attack. A shield-wearing or counterbalanced target can avoid the attack entirely and retaliate, while others may have their weapons disarmed or can even be sent sprawling to the ground. An overhead crush has enough force to ground a flying opponent and is an especially brutal way to initiate combat against sleeping targets. It is noted that a warrior in a victory rush (from warcry) may use this to break the opponent's protective shield entirely. Raged berserkers do not have the necessary control to execute an accurate overhead crush. * Requires two-hand style, and can be countered by defensive style. * Can be nullified by protective shield.
