Hamstring

Hamstring is an ability available to the Mercenaries of the Western Coalition and to the Guild of Thieves.

Hamstring is a vicious ability in which the attacker uses a bladed weapon to attempt to cut the muscles of the target's legs. This move does require that the target is currently being flanked and thus distracted or off balance. If successful this will typically knock an opponent to the ground.

• Attackers may attempt to hamstring an opponent.
• The attack is not possible without flanking an opponent first, or being hidden and undetected.
