Prerequisites --------------------------- : Gladiator.
Ability-points to invoke:

2
Ability Preparation:

None.
Area of Effect:

1 targeted creature.
Avoidance-Roll:

Yes: Pit your strength vs. your target's coordination if you successfully connect with a Gladiator's Kick that causes a minimum of 50% damage.
Damage:

1-D6 (+ 1-D6 per 2 levels advanced).

 

This ability stacks with the Seeker Ability, "Gladiator's Kick (Minor)".
Duration:

Instant (the duration is for just 1 kick, whether you miss or not).
Effect Time:

Instant.
Explanation:

The Gladiator will perform a front thrust kick. This kick causes increased damage as the Gladiator rises in levels. It can also be devastational to an opponent, causing it to fall.

 

If 50%+ kick damage is inflicted, and your target fails the "Avoidance-Roll" (is forced to the ground), roll on "Combat, Chance of Falling During:" in the Basic Rules Book.

 

If a creature is knocked (forced) to the ground, it must get up, thus it must win an initiative with you on its turn, or it cannot attack (it must defend again).

 

An attack-roll of 01-02 is always considered as a fall, with the exception of four-legged and levitating/flying creatures. This is the exception to this rule. The Gladiator can knock this type of foe down, forcing it to be subject to the rule of the obove linked chart.
