Effect

If successful, it will temporarily lower the target's bonuses in their fighting skills. There are a variety of messages that indicate how shaken the target is by your warcry; these may give an indication of how much their bonuses were lowered (if at all).  research If this has been marked on a page, it's because there was something that probably isn't known, that the person who edited the page thinks could be found out. Perhaps you could figure this thing out, and be famous evermore. 

August 2010: It will temporarily lower the target's bonuses in _all_ their skills, except points and ad.health.

June 2022: In a PK warcry situation, the target was so afraid they ran away: You are terrified by the intimidating bellow. Your feet run away with you! You become flustered!

It seems to be possible for a target to be affected by multiple warcries at once (from different warriors, naturally).

The target's fighting.special.tactics defends against it and can tm from it as well.

The warcry message may only be 100 characters long. Otherwise you get the message - You suddenly realise that your warcry, <message>, is too lengthy to cow your foes.
