Either you have high STR Athletic skill, Acrobatic skills in DEX or just mind which character is standing where.
Theres allways a way to protect yourself from beeing shoved too often.
That is unfortunately not true. With how long shove arch reaches, and how it furthers the shove distance with a slightest of slope in terrain there are encounters where avoiding getting shoved to death becomes no. 1 priority. Shove should be tactical utility tool, not no. 1 hazard to avoid on every turn.
