Sweep (broodmother)

__NOTOC__
Sweep is a monster ability in Dragon Age: Origins.
== Information ==
* Knockback: -3m
* Duration: 3s
* This attack impacts once in a 130°, 4.5m cone.
== Combat tactics conditions ==
* Target at front flank ~50% chance.
== Used by ==
* Broodmother
== Notes ==
* An attack roll is made against each creature in the cone, and a random number from 1 to 100 is generated. If this number is at least 50, and if the attack is successful, the target must pass a physical resistance check against the Broodmother's strength or take physical damage equal to the Broodmother's attack damage (with 5 bonus armor penetration) and is knocked down for 0.5-1.5s. In all other cases (attack is a miss, or random number is less than 50, or target passes the resistance check), the target takes half damage and is knocked back instead.
* These attacks cannot miss. A failed attack roll only results in a weaker impact. Against an invisible target, the impact damage will be negated, but the knockdown and knockback effects are applied normally, which will break stealth.
* The Broodmother's Sweep can critically hit.
* Note the ability icon is the sweep image but when hit on the player or companion as a debuff it is the tentacle icon.
