Clear the Way


Rules Discussion


Hello, you can shove 5 creature adjacent to you.

You must a separate Athletics check for each target.

Are there a MAP on the 4 other Athletics check after the first ?

Thanks for your future answer.


As it is written - yes, it will have MAP on all of those Shove actions. The subordinate Shove actions will still have the Attack trait, and there is nothing in the ability saying that you delay applying the effects of that (compare to the MAP delay wording in Impossible Volley).

So if Clear the Way is your first Attack trait action of the round, then the first Shove will be at zero-MAP, the next one will be at stage 1 MAP, and the remaining will be at stage 2 MAP.

If you use Strike or some other one-action Attack trait action first and use Clear the Way as your second two actions of the round, then the first Shove will be at stage 1 MAP and all of the remaining will be at stage 2 MAP.


Thanks for your help.

I found in Player Core 2 :

Quote:
Each attack counts toward your multiple attack penalty, but don’t increase your penalty until you have made all your attacks.

Yeah. That would change things. Where in PC2 did you find that?

I was looking at Clear the Way from Mauler archetype in the Advanced Player's Guide. Which doesn't have that wording.

It's from the Mauler in PC2.

Mauler dedication was reprinted in PC2 -- it's in that section. (p207)


Yeah, that would do it.

And it is a pretty nice buff to the ability. Definitely use the PC2 version ;)
