[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6797764, member: 57383"] I meant the former. I thought it was pretty clear, but it's easy enough to change the draft to "a 30 ft. by 30 ft. square". All that leaves is deciding on the damage and values for the X, Y and Z. I'm thinking 2d12 for the base damage plus 1½ times the queen's Strength modifier. A Colossal Isopterite Queen will have Str 39, which would make it 2d12+21. The Reflex save comes out to DC 26. I'm thinking a –10 to the pseudo Bull-Rush, for a total modifier of +20 (the sum of +14 from Strength +16 from size –10 penalty). Dang it, I just realized a standard Bull Rush's "If you wish to move with the defender, you can push him back an additional 5 feet for each 5 points by which your check result is greater than the defender’s check result" means the Queen, as written, can only Bull Rush an opponent 5 ft. because she's immobile. So I propose the following change: Affected creatures that are Huge or larger are treated as being struck by a Bull Rush attack with a –10 penalty to the queen's Strength check (+20 check modifier for a typical Colossal queen). If the queen beats the defender’s Strength check result, she pushes him back 5 feet plus an additional 5 feet for each 5 points by which her check result is greater than the defender’s, up to a maximum distance of 30 feet. Unlike a normal Bull Rush, an isopterite queen flop attack does not need to move with the defender to push him back more that 5 feet. Upon reflection, how about adding the following: An isopterite queen can choose to "Bull Rush" creatures smaller than Huge size with her flop attack instead of squashing them beneath her body. She does this by choosing a size limit for the squashing effect that may be any size from Small to Huge. For example, she can elect to damage opponents of Small size or smaller while pushing away opponents of Medium size or larger. [/QUOTE]
