The Hydraulic Push effect reads:
The target takes 3d6 bludgeoning damage and is knocked back 5 feet
Forced Movement reads:
If you’re pushed or pulled, you can usually be moved through hazardous terrain, pushed off a ledge, or the like. Abilities that reposition you in some other way can’t put you in such dangerous places unless they specify otherwise. In all cases, the GM makes the final call if there’s doubt on where forced movement can move a creature.
For comparison...
Pushing Gust reads:
The target is pushed 5 feet away from you.
Do you think it is the intention that Hydraulic Push doesn't use the 'push' effect (instead uses 'knocked back') or is it an oversight?
Context:
With the Forced Movement rules, it seems that Hydraulic push cannot be used to send an enemy off of a ledge or into a snare, but Pushing Gust can. Just trying to see if that's working as intended.
