Forced Movement Question

[ToddSchumacher]

One of my players asked this question. I didn't know, so i'm asking the collective.

Player has a power that causes the target to slide x squares.

Player also has a feat that causes the target to be Pushed y squares.


Is he supposed to choose between the two and only apply one (x OR y).

Or does he get both? And if he gets both can he choose the order? (x+y) or (y+x)

 

[SensoryThought]

I would personally allow them both to be used, but likely make the slide happen first.

Both the slide and the push definitely happen. The order they happen in is a grey area. I would say to do the power's effect first and then apply the feat.

It actually depends on the wording of the power and the feat. Which power and feat are they?

 

[S'mon]

I would expect he can use the feat if the wording of the power allows it.
I agree with posts above that the power will normally take effect first, then you add the feat effect at the end.

He wasn't specific. My players are levelling for next weeks game and I guess he's looking at options before he chooses.


Thanks for all the help guys!

Ok, how about this.

What if both forced movement was from feats? Does the order matter?

Slid vs. pushed, vs pull?

Again, it typically does not matter, but the specific wording of the feats may or may not affect the result.

YOu'd have to read the feat's (or feats') wording(s) to tell for sure.
