Two questions -- basically both possible "slippery slopes" --
1) Our party's druid occasionally "accidently" summons a large nature's ally into space(s) occupied by others. Our DM has, in these situations, ruled that an immediate bullrush attempt is made by the new arrival as it attempts to clear space for itself. This has worked so far, but I forsee the possible abuse as using a Summon Spell as a fairly effective attack spell -- say, by dropping a Summon into an enemy's established front line opening a nice 10' hole in it. Perhaps this is just a smart use of the spell. It makes Druids (or any summoner type) real helpful on a battlefield. I would welcome feedback on this.
2) Secondly, as i understand it, if two entities occupy the same space, with nowhere else for either to move, one of them must go prone. Usually this is undesirable. However, enter the feat: Prone Attack (CW p.103) whats to stop a character with the feat to Drop Prone (free action), crawl (or better yet tumble) 5' and share a space with a friend (move action), and attack from prone (standard action) -- unless something else changes, two characters could continue to threaten and attack from the same space. Again feedback please.
Basically i dont see either situation as a game breaker, but i can see ALOT of use out of both tactics once they are viewed as successful.
