It's a corner case that probably won't come up much though. I feel like these actions were made with monsters using them against PCs in mind, not against other monsters. When do you as a GM wind up running those? And running 1st level creatures against dragons?

I guess you could use a summon monster ability as a PC, but I think most of the stuff it seems silly to trip only hits on a nat 20 anyway. And honestly, I'd rather have some weird cases that will never come up rather than get bogged down in size category gate keeping that usually just prevents PCs from doing cool things to monsters.

Summons, Leadership, Planar Binding, Handle Animal, and Diplomacy can make that sort of thing come up lot.

Size categories should matter. It's come up a lot over the years we've played, and never bogged anything down. I'd rather the rules make some sort of sense in terms of simulating the world, and this sort of thing is pushing it too much toward board game land for me.

So attacks with Knockdown just work, regardless of size, strength, #of legs, any of that.

This seems clearly wrong.

Push, much the same.

Very much not appreciating these kinds of rules.
