Shoving Shoulder (Rage Power)

Shoving Shoulder (Ex)

Requires: Barbarian 1

Benefit: Once per round as a free action, you can activate Shoving Shoulder, allowing you to select one enemy creature you successfully hit this round with a melee attack and push that creature 1 square away from you. You must activate Shoving Shoulder before any attack rolls are made, but you don't have to declare which attack it is augmenting until after you have resolved all of your attacks for your current turn. If the attack you apply Shoving Shoulder to was a critical hit, the enemy creature is instead pushed a number of squares equal to your weapon's critical multiplier. This is forced movement, and you can choose any non-blocked path, as long as each square of movement is further away from you than the creature's previous space. Shoving Shoulder can only be used to augment an attack you make during your turn, not interrupt attacks or attacks of opportunity. If all of the attacks you make during your current turn miss, this activation provides no benefit.

Progression:

• 11th Level: The base amount of forced movement caused by Shoving Shoulder increases to 2 squares, or a number of squares equal to your weapon's critical multiplier on a critical hit, whichever is greater.
• 21st Level: The base amount of forced movement caused by Shoving Shoulder increases to 3 squares, or a number of squares equal to 1 + your weapon's critical multiplier on a critical hit, whichever is greater.
• 31st Level: The base amount of forced movement caused by Shoving Shoulder increases to 4 squares, or a number of squares equal to 2 + your weapon's critical multiplier on a critical hit, whichever is greater.
