Message: <blockquote data-quote="Justin Bacon" data-source="post: 2747633" data-attributes="member: 3795">To go back to the original question, I think the key lies in this sentence: "If you succeed in knocking your opponent prone, you can continue your movement as normal."I think the best, simplest, and most intuitive solution is to simply unpack that first clause. What does it mean to "succeed" in the previous step? To knock your opponent prone and not be knocked proned yourself.So you could, with a fair degree of legitimacy, reword that sentence as: "If your opponent is prone and you have not been knocked prone, you can continue your movement as normal."So, if your opponent is prone when you begin your overrun attempt, the resolution sequence would like this:1. You provoke an attack of opportunity for moving into their space.2. If the defender avoids you, you continue moving.3. If the defender attempts to block you, make a Strength check opposed by the Strength or Dexterity check (with modifiers).4. If you succeed on the check, you continue your movement normally.5. If they succeed on the check, they can immediately make a Strength check opposed by your Strength or Dexterity check to try to knock you prone. If they succeed, you move back 5 feet in the direction you came and fall prone. If they fail, you continue your movement normally (despite the fact you failed your original check) because they're already prone (and can't stop you).Justin Alexander Bacon<a href="http://www.thealexandrian.net" target="_blank">http://www.thealexandrian.net</a></blockquote>
