Greater Bull Rush (Combat)
Your bull rush attacks throw enemies off balance.
Prerequisites: Improved Bull Rush, base attack bonus +6.
Benefit: Whenever you bull rush an opponent, their movement provokes attacks of opportunity from all of your allies (but not you).
Normal: Creatures moved by bull rush do not provoke attacks of opportunity.
In 3.x creatures moved by bull rush did provoke attacks of opportunity.
Removing this from the normal way bull rush opperates opens the door for you to bullrush allies into places so they can avoid taking attacks of opportunity. Tack on the fact that they haven't used up any of their own movement, and we have a potential full attack without taking an attack of opportunity delivery system.
Please revert to the normal of 3.x, and give something else for the greater bullrush. Allowing for some lateral movement like the directed bullrush of Shock Trooper for example would be useful without being abusive.
