Don't you just love it when your characters on Tactician difficulty have 20AC and the Duergar miss all main attacks, but then on their bonus attack they just shove you off the boat for the LULZ? Good times.

What makes things even worse is that the boats do not have any actual colision for being shoved, so positioning and character weight do not matter as you will fall right through the boat. Once that fat ass of a duergar finds himself on your boat, you have a single turn to CC him or it's instant death for one of your party members. Even Lae'zel with 20AC/18STR got shoved off with Atlhetics proficiency. Absolutely ridiculous.

  • Can't stay on your own boat or you'll get shoved either by your own mind-controlled party member or one of the two fat ass Duergars that decide to jump onto your boat.
  • Can't jump on their boat because any Duergar will immediately try to shove you off.
  • Can't shove them off because you'll lose the uniques the fat bastard is carrying.


However the absolute dumbassery of the shoving script revealed itself to me in full display when the Duergar archer from the ramparts above during the Nere fight dashed and ran all the way down to shove people into the lava. Despite her having access to Hunter's mark, special arrows, extra attack and advantage, she decided to just dash and shove... on Tactician difficulty of all things.

Grymforge is unfortunately the most extremely cancerous shove-city, but outside of that I basically never ever see shove being used.
