Rules Questions


Ok last Game session my group Had to fight 4 vrocks in a semi collapsed tower. 140ft above ground level. I we new to pathfinder, and figure we could use some exercise on combat maneuvers. I intend to use the spell in that manner only. A huge argument started over the rules of this spell. and the spot I could preform the bull rush from. I was trying to bull rush the dwarf from the side in my diagram. I had already push the sorcerer down off the ledge. The cleric proceeded to grab him since he had a ring of feather fall. it was going to be dam near impossible to bull rush this dwarf off edge. But I was going to try it any way. My fighter steps in and started to argue I can't because point origin of the spell would have only option is to bull rush strait basically in to spot label 1. I am aiming for spot x. My argument was I can start the spell as if the Vrock moved in an L pattern and preformed the maneuver but instead of moving I have the hole range of the spell as movement. need to say this took up a lot of time. I said fine forget it I am just going to violent thrust him off the edge targeted square X AC 5 with dwarf as weapon. So I did the same thing to him and the fighter. since they both have poor will saves. I forgot the dwarf had a ring of feather fall so he gets lucky fighter not so much. My players where still curious about this and asked me to post about it.

So my question is can the dwarf be bull rushed in to spot x with this spell or spot 1 only

V= Vrock
M= Monk
D= Dwarf barbarian
F= Fighter
C= cleric
S= Sorcerer/Rouge
]= Solid wall
|= ledge
`= space holder

I'm going to say you were correct. As long as you have LoE to the target you can perform the manuever on them. The spell states nothing about the effect originating (as if it were an emanation) from the caster or limiting which direction a CM is made from or to. As a magical effect it isn't bound by the 'facing' a normal bull rush would be it would seem.


Anyone else have a opinion on this. What to get a few before turning it over to the my group tomorrow.
