Notes

• There is a 10 + Strength modifier DC that victims must fail to be knocked prone.
• Hits all enemies and friendly NPCs within a 2 m / 7 ft radius along the charge path.
• It is not obvious which bonuses apply to this attack.
  • Attack bonuses work whether they are for unarmed, weapon, or non-specified attacks. For example, attack bonuses from  Gloves of Crushing,  Legacy of the Masters, and  Mutilated Carapace work.
  • Damage bonuses for weapons, such as in Legacy of the Masters gloves, do not work. Surprisingly, damage bonuses for unarmed attacks, such as in Tavern Brawler, do not work either. Damage bonuses may only work if they are for both unarmed and weapon attacks, such as in  Shadow-Cloaked Ring, or for non-specified attacks, such as in  Rhapsody. However, they do not always work even in these cases. For example, Necrotic damage bonus from  Vampire Ascendant does not work.
  • Other types of bonuses tend to work even if they are just for unarmed attacks. For example,  Bleeding from  Helldusk Gloves works.
  • Perhaps surprisingly, the following bonuses do work with Primal Stampede:
    •  Lethal Weapon
    •  Ring of Mental Inhibition: Mental Fatigue
  • Perhaps surprisingly, the following bonuses do not work with Primal Stampede:
    •  Rage: Elk Heart: damage bonus for unarmed attacks
    •  Armour of the Sporekeeper: Necrotic damage bonus (to the Necrotic damage from  Horns of the Berserker)
    •  Bow of the Banshee: damage bonus for Frightened creatures
    •  Dolor Amarus: damage bonus for critical hits
    •  Infernal Fury: Fire damage bonus
    •  Vampire Ascendant: Necrotic damage bonus
