			}}
			{{RTOC}}
			The '''{{tt\|slam}} command''' drives the mass of a held melee weapon into an opponent. It is an impact maneuver, and the only one that biases your defenses toward your shield while it resolves.

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

			==Detailed Information==
			Slam is a damage dealing maneuver.<br />
			Slam tends to be a very fatiguing maneuver. Attacking again too soon can make this worse.<br />
			Slam tends to be unbalancing.<br />
			Slam is a reasonably paced maneuver, but heavy or unbalanced weapons can slow the attack further.<br />
			Slam is more accurate than most maneuvers, and is best suited for impact weapons and least suited for slice weapons.<br />
			Slam temporarily penalizes all defenses, but is best suited to shield defenses and least suited to both evasion and 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.

			==See Also==
			* {{com\|attack}}
			* {{com\|bash}}
			* {{com\|pummel}}
			* {{com\|swing}}
