Bullrush: More details on different possibilites please


Combat


What happens if I bullrush someone into a square that is occupied?

What if the person occupying the square in on my side? How about on their side?

What if the square I am pushing them into contains a movable object like a chest? How about if it is an immovable object like a wall?

It gets a bit fuzzy doesn't it? :)

I can see numerous options:

1) Try to use as a variation of over-run (using the bullrush attacker's roll as the over-run), and knock over the victim if it is impossible to pass.

2) Knock over the victim and the person or object in the way (if possible).

3) If the movement would land them in the occupied space, halt their movement and treat them as shaken next round. If their movement would take them past the occupied space, halt their movement and treat them as stunned for a round. (The difference between a light, and a good body check.) Creatures occuping the space might be able to choose to take their 5 foot step to allow the victim to pass.

It would be really nice to have this covered in the core description of Bullrush... Pretty please? ;)
