[QUOTE="rob626, post: 4338439, member: 58916"] [COLOR=white]OP- this is not so much a rules question as a game question.[/COLOR] [COLOR=white]This is EXACTLY what killed 3.x for me. We are not playing Lawyers and Lawsuits. (I forget who said that originally but it is so fitting it bears repeating. Might even sig it.) [/COLOR] [COLOR=white]What is the intent of the power? Does the situation make sliding the prone ally a good and/or cinematic thing? If so, let it work. If not, then it doesn't work. My inclination is to say go ahead.[/COLOR] [COLOR=white]Seriously people, there is no reason to dive into the rules and disect them word for word. A general guide of "does it make sense" and "is this the intent of the rules" and "does it make the game fun" should suffice for just about every situation. [/COLOR] [COLOR=white]If the players start to abuse previous rulings then the power no longer works that way.
