Six inch tall pixie, using a sling (shot, not whirling one). Uses pebbles as ammo (can barely call them pebbles. Smaller than pebbles, considering her size). On cart with rest of team, running next to a ravine from a spirehorn (styracosaurus) behemoth, with five shortbow weilding orcs on it, all barreling at top speed. Pixie, turn 2 of round 1, uses flattening shot. For those who don't know, 2W + Dex mod damage, and you push the target 1 square and knock it prone. The target was the spirehorn.....

His point is that somebody did something cool in a game and he came here to share it.  This is a D and D board after all.  Should be a safe place to talk about a D and D game when something cool happens.  Don't worry though... You guys will soon teach him his place.

Try to imagine what happened. Visualise it.

Growlin, I take it the forums aren't the freindliest places for this?

Well here's where you'd laugh at a massive behemoth being sent back, the rear lurching forward because where else is that end gonna go at that speed, and the five orcs flying through the air, limbs flailing. Not a fan of slapstick?

The power did what the power is supposed to do.  Not seeing a problem.

Especially since, if the orcs were riding the thing, they would have simply remained riding it:
  Forced Movement: If the mount is pulled, pushed, or slid, the rider moves with it.

So, the pixie hit the spiretail in the eye, which startled it, and made it back away for a moment.  Where's the issue?

Dude, seriously? I just explained what happened. Yes, according to the rules they should have stayed on. Know what's better? Flying orcs. I combined forced movement with prone, because the game is supposed to be fun, and this was the perfect opportunity for that. I mean seriously dude?

Sorry, I mistook your meaning.  I was anticipating this to be another 'I can't believe this game lets a tiny creature knock a large creature back and prone, it's so unrealistic, 4e sucks' thread.
