The hand gains a +14 bonus on its [[Strength]] check. A target that is bull rushed is knocked down and is dazed for the duration of the spell.<br /> <br /> == Bug Notes ==<br /> <br /> x0_s0_bigby2.nss<br /> <br /> Line 45: This spell doesn't use the NWN2 ApplyMetamagicDurationMods() and ApplyMetamagicDurationTypeMods() functions.<br /> <br /> == Working Notes ==<br /> <br /> Bull Rush works like this:<br /> <br /> Caster Roll: 1[[d20]] + 14<br /> Defender Roll: 1d20 + Strength Modifier + Size Modifier<br /> <br /> The caster needs to equal or beat the defender's roll to be successful.<br /> <br /> Note: The +14 comes from the 3.5E description: +8 for Strength 27, +4 for being Large, and a +2 bonus for charging, which it always gets.<br /> <br /> Note 2: The size modifier is +8 for huge, +4 for large, +0 for medium, -4 for small, -8 for tiny.<br /> <br /> == Gameplay Notes ==<br /> <br /> This spell will daze and knock down the target at the same time. If they are immune to one of the effects, the other one still takes place.<br /> <br /> The duration, while short, can be highly effective against any low strength character. Unlike the 3.5E rules for Bull Rush attempts, which push back a target, this is a single bull rush which knocks down the target for the duration. The 3.5E spell likely would need to be redirected to work properly, bull rushing a target each round.<br /> <br /> Against a low strength character, except those with magical defences, works extremely well. A human rogue with a strength score of 12 will get 1d20 + 1 bonus as his roll. The attackers roll would be d20 + 14. This big difference means the target is very likely to be knocked down for the duration.<br /> <br /> This spell also works very well against a high strength character. A 38 strength is required to obtain a +14 strength bonus, which will give just under a 50% chance of resisting this spell. A 50 strength will still be defeated 28% of the time.<br /> <br /> Against a larger amount of creatures, this spell is less beneficial, but against single targets it can work wonders.<br /> <br /> == External Links ==<br /> * [http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/forcefulHand.htm 3.5E SRD Forceful Hand]</div>
