[QUOTE="CuRoi, post: 5468686, member: 98032"] So go for an Overrun ;) If I were your DM I'd have little problem allowing you to do that, 2e, 1e, Basic-e, etc. etc. Sounds like you want to knock someone back with an attack? I'd use the rules presented as a guideline and figure out a way your PC could pull it off. With 2e, roll your attack, since it's a non-standard attack I'd probably apply a -2 penalty to the roll. If you hit I'd go for something like strength checks to decide if the opponent is moved back; maybe use your damage as a base and have the opponent roll a d20 + strength as a sort of ad hoc saving throw. With 3e or 3.5 it's a bit trickier cause they have feats and lots o' very specific rules. If I add a combat move which conflicts with an exist feat or combat move, I might unintentionally break something, make someone's feat useless etc. So just to keep the game rolling, I'd possibly go for a -4 on attack since it is non-standard attack and you will provoke an AoO trying to pull it off.
