Reposition (Combat Maneuver)

Reposition

Type of Action: Standard action

A reposition attempts to force a foe to move to a different space in relation to your location. You do not move from your starting square during a reposition attempt.

• Reposition attempts may be made any creature you threaten.

• You can only reposition an opponent that is no more than one size category larger than you.

• If you do not have Reposition, Improved (Feat) or a similar ability, attempting to reposition a foe provokes an attack of opportunity from the target of your maneuver. If this attack of opportunity hits, you suffer damage as normal and take a -4 penalty to hit with the combat maneuver attack.

• If your combat maneuver attack is successful, you may move your target 5 feet to a new location within your reach. For every 5 by which your attack exceeds your opponent's CMD, you can move the target an additional 5 feet.

• The target must remain within your reach at all times during this movement, except for the final 5 feet of movement, which can be to a space adjacent to your reach.

• Reposition is considered forced movement. You can use this maneuver to move a foe into a space that is intrinsically dangerous, such as off a cliff or into a wall of fire, but it may fall Prone to stop its forced movement in all cases. An enemy being moved by a reposition does not provoke an attack of opportunity for leaving threatened squares unless you possess the Greater Reposition feat.

• You cannot move a creature into a square that is occupied by a solid object or obstacle.
