Knockdown

Physical effect

You have been hit by a force that may cause you to fall over.

Knockdown is a tagged effect. Sources apply it as Knockdown X, where X is the potency. The resist 📊 DC is increased by +2 for each point of X beyond the first, so Knockdown 1 carries no increase and Knockdown 3 is +4 DC.

You are immune to this effect if you are already Prone.

Guaranteed Minimum

By default, a successful resist completely negates Knockdown. Some weapons or abilities may specify a guaranteed minimum in their description (e.g. “Knockdown — even on a successful resist, you suffer -1 AP next turn”). When present, that minimum overrides the standard “no effect on success” outcome. The Knockdown effect itself does not impose a minimum.
