nexers, I'm going over Maneuvers and came across Hurricane Strike. Who the heck is going to get this crazy looking thing? I kinda balked at a hit knocking an opponent back 10 feet. Then it got stranger with the increments increasing to 30 and then 60 feet! I've never seen such a thing in a game.  I can't help think that anything that did get knocked back that far would be dead from the impact of the blow. How am I going to explain to my players that that knocking a monster back 60 feet didn't kill it? They might walk out of the room! Maybe this thing should be toned down a little? Opinions...

I dunno, high level PCs and monsters can suvive 500 ft drops of cliffs, so I don't find it all that problematic, given the game was never realistic to start with.

Tell them its "Kungfu"

Dreaming the Impossible Dream
Show
Imagine a world where the first-time D&D player rolls stats, picks a race, picks a class, picks an alignment, and buys gear to create a character. Imagine if an experienced player, maybe the person helping our theoretical player learn the ropes, could also make a character by rolling ability scores and picking a race, class, feat, skills, class features, spells or powers, and so on. Those two players used different paths to build characters, but the system design allows them to play at the same table. -Mearl

I also think it is pretty awesome and not a problem. Assuming it isn't changed, you have an easy solution: just don't let it push that far. You surely know what your players like (you suggest that they might object to such a push), so just change it to something they will like.

I just got done playing The Witcher and he has this Aard sign in the game. I think its some kind of air push. But that never really pushed them 60 feet away. It always seemed like 5 or a little more. Cool ability.

I don't know man, it certainly isn't attacting me too much. I'd think alot of people will have a what da f*** moment when they read it.
People are right, such things need to be house ruled when it doesn't fit the group. If a group needs something to be silly as all heck then they can do it!
