Bull Rushed from Below!?


Rules Questions


Earth elemental succeeds on a bull rush from directly underneath target.

Result: Target flys upward determined bull rush distance and takes fall damage on the way down?


seems like a good call.


Doesn't the attacker normally have to travel with the target on a bullrush? At most, the target falls a distance equal to the elemental's height (or the elemental's height + reach if you're generous) and lands prone in an adjacent square (random or chosen by the target).

You can elect to move with the target if successful.

If that was the case pushing people into holes would be very bad.

I always thought Bull Rush was more of a push and then a slamming toss. Like you occupy the square of the thing you were pushing and then it flies backwards.

You don't have to move with them.

You can move with the target if you wish but you must have the available movement to do so. If your attack fails, your movement ends in front of the target.
