The player does have "Step up", thanks for bringing this up (cause I forgot that one).

Can he use "Step up" to move during the AoO? I know this only makes sense if his "bull rush" did not push the enemy more than 5ft (which he actually might push them).

Also, my player tries to use all this specially in rooms, to push folks against walls, so they are "prone". Cause guess what, when they try to stand up, he does get an AoO. That AoO has a bull rush, and that means mosts opponents will never ever be able to stand up again.

That would be another question: Is there any feat you can take to avoid causing an AoO when you try to stand up?

Hi folks,

I know there is a lot of discussions already on this topic, but I might bring in some new "flavor" and I really could not get an answer to my "problem".

What I have (I do not, I am the GM, but my player has):
- Fighter (Armor Master) lvl 7
- Skilled with Shield (Feats: Improved Bull Rush, TWF, all that stuff)
- Wearing magic "Shield of bashing"
- Has the feat "Shield Slam"
- Combat Reflexes for additional AoO's

So I thought I solved it today, because as several people here in this forum posted:
"You can bash an opponent with a light shield or heavy shield, using it as an off-hand weapon"

^^ but that is not true anymore, see the errata:

Shield Bash: If I make a shield bash, does it always have to be an off-hand attack?

The text for a shield bash assumes you're making a bash as an off-hand attack, but you don't have to. You can, for example, just make a shield bash attack (at your normal, main-hand attack bonus) or shield bash with your main hand and attack with a sword in your off-hand.

Update: Page 152—In the Shield Bash Attacks section, in the first sentence, delete “using it as an off-hand weapon.”

So now my question:

Also, if that Bull Rush fails, does this have any further consequences on the character? (e.g. Bull Rush says: ' If your attack fails, your movement ends in front of the target.') But this is not a "movement bull rush" but one done by the shield...?

Well it confuses me. Hope it does not confuse you folks.

Thanks in advance.

Bought it too, really cool stuff. Thanks for letting me know Jack !

Revon, your "Thassilonian Scholar" is perfect ! It ensures that at least one person in the group is familiar with the Thassilonian language and history and can therefor be used to place some inside knowledge.

We are just preparing our first adventure in Golarion and I have chosen the RotRL Adventure Path to start exploring the new world.

If there is GameMasters out there that feel like there is something about these adventures that I must know (because you experienced it during your sessions), I would be happy to receive a note!
