[QUOTE="Dr_Sage, post: 4979927, member: 36185"] Silly doubt: My DM said, and I now tend to agree, that a push effect does not need to be "in line", its enough that you move the target "away from you every square". Lets use the keypad numbers to give an example: ([U]7) (8) (9[/U])_______ [U]([COLOR=navy]4[/COLOR]) ([COLOR=red]5[/COLOR]) (6)_| | |__[/U] (1) (2) (3) Lets say you are in the position (4) and your opponent is in position (5). Behind him, position (6) is still safe ground. You are fighting an orc on a narrow bridge (1 square wide), and all the other numbers represent "a fall over the cliff". If you bull rush the orc, he must be pushed to position (6), or can you push him to (9) or (3) so he can learn how to fly? Assuming the orc fails the save of couse... Thanks in advance! PS: Title should have been "Push effects do not HAVE to be in STRAIGHT, line right?". Sorry, I have to slow down... [/QUOTE]
