Trip

Time Required: 2 seconds
Skill: Varies
Requires: You must have a hand free, or be using a weapon with the Trip property

You attempt to knock a foe prone. Make an Athletics or Unarmed Combat attack roll against the target's Body defence. If you are using a weapon with the Trip property to make the attempt, use that weapon's skill in place of Athletics or Unarmed Combat.

Success: The target becomes Prone.
Failure: You provoke a Counterattack.

Sir Roland flips his helbarde around to access its hook, giving it the Trip property, and then attempts to knock the Baron Prone. He rolls a 14, which is enough to hit the Baron's Body defence, and the Baron falls to the ground. Sir Roland follows this up with an overhand chop, taking favour on the swing due to the Baron being Prone.
