+Bigby's Forceful Hand can be resisted if the target has ''both'' knockdown immunity ''and'' immunity to mind-affecting spells.
-Line 45: This spell doesn't use the NWN2 ApplyMetamagicDurationMods() and ApplyMetamagicDurationTypeMods() functions.
-== Working Notes ==
-Bull Rush works like this:
- Caster Roll: 1[[d20]] + 14
- Defender Roll: 1d20 + Strength Modifier + Size Modifier
-The caster needs to equal or beat the defender's roll to be successful.
-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.
-Note 2: The size modifier is +8 for huge, +4 for large, +0 for medium, -4 for small, -8 for tiny.
-== Gameplay Notes ==
-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.
-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.
-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.
-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.
-Against a larger amount of creatures, this spell is less beneficial, but against single targets it can work wonders.
