			}}
			{{RTOC}}
			The '''{{tt\|pummel}} command''' beats at an opponent with a held melee weapon. It is the cheapest of the impact attacks: quick, only somewhat fatiguing, and balance neutral, so it neither builds nor spends balance.

			==Syntax==
			*{{tt\|PUMMEL}}
			: Attack the enemy you are already engaged with, or pick a new one if you are not engaged.
			*{{tt\|PUMMEL}} ''<enemy>''
			: Attack the indicated enemy.
			*{{tt\|PUMMEL}} ''<enemy>'' ''<body part>''
			: Attack the indicated enemy, aiming for the named body part.
			*{{tt\|PUMMEL LEFT}} ''<enemy>''
			: Attack with the weapon in your off hand, training [[Offhand Weapon skill]] alongside the weapon skill.
			*{{tt\|PUMMEL HELP}}
			: Basic syntax help. {{tt\|PUMMEL HELP FULL}} gives the maneuver's mechanical profile, and {{tt\|PUMMEL HELP LIST}} lists the other combat options.

			==Detailed Information==
			Pummel is a damage dealing maneuver.<br />
			Pummel tends to be a somewhat fatiguing maneuver. Attacking again too soon can make this worse.<br />
			Pummel tends to be balance neutral.<br />
			Pummel is a quick maneuver, but heavy or unbalanced weapons can slow the attack further.<br />
			Pummel is more accurate than most maneuvers, and is best suited to impact weapons and least suited to both puncture and slice weapons.<br />
			Pummel temporarily penalizes all defenses, but is equally suited to both evasion and shield defenses and least suited to parry defenses.<br />

			==Notes==
			* {{com\|slice}}, {{com\|swing}}, {{com\|thrust}}, {{com\|slam}} and {{com\|pummel}} all share a minimum roundtime. See [[Roundtime#Minimum_Roundtimes_for_Melee_Weapons_per_Attack_Type\|Roundtime]] for the figures by weapon weight.
