Yes, I think it's fairly obviously and strongly implied. Yes, slide may very well operate under the same implication.What I was looking for, which I stated in the original post, was some verification of this from a reputable source. I restated this and elaborated on it, that I was looking for some official adjudication on this.The reason being is that I don't want to have a 'he said/she said' argument with the DM. In all liklihood, he'll agree with me after I point out a few things. He made a snap judgement for the game and I want to clarify outside of the game the ruling for all of us. But at the same time, I don't want to go to him and just say, "Well, duh, it's obvious..."That is kinda insulting. I know I, as a DM, would hate it if a player said, "Well everybody else thinks you're wrong!" I am trying avoid conflict with the DM and the group by finding something solid and concrete I can point to and say, "Oh yeah, btw, that push thing, I found this official ruling on it."Can you therefore understand the frustration I'm having of getting replies like, "Slide is like this, so push must be like that!" That is heresay. Going to my DM with that is as useful as pointing out the text for Push. The argument CAN go either way, and so therefore creates an unnecessary complication to the issue.But obviously there is nothing concrete. I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time and getting annoyed at people in the thread. That's not what I wanted.</blockquote>
