I wish it was true. frown

Sadly, my experience say it dont really matter where you stand ... i spend litteraly half of my movement speed (12m? not sure) to stand far from edge in Grymforge-Nere+Duergars batte ... and they still managed to shove me to lava. :-/ Im sory, but that is just not fun.

I mean, even if that was true, shove would still be quite anoying ... since when i spend my precious spellslot to put group of Goblins to sleep, i want them to sleep at least one round ... not litteraly to next turn, when another Goblin wakes them up and is still able to attack me. :-/
But it would be at least little more bareable.

That encounter in Grymforge can be approached in numerous ways, both based on your roleplay and combat tactics. Of course, positioning yourself on the elevated bridges allows for an easy resolution of the encounter. However, I must say that I also enjoy engaging in close combat and letting the enemies use the same tactics against me. It adds an extra layer of excitement and challenge to the battle.

I understand the effect it has on countering sleep. However, it's also true that your precious spell slots are of 1st level. Overall, I still see more pros than cons in this management of the shove mechanic. I could agree with reducing the throwing distance a bit and making shove an action.
