Maneuvers and Stances
into an opponent, you crush him
with concussive force and send him
stumbling backward.
As part of this maneuver, you make
a bull rush attack (PH 154) as part of
a charge. Neither the movement nor
the bull rush attack provokes attacks
of opportunity. Resolve the bull rush
attempt normally. If your Strength
check exceeds the opponent?s result,
you deal bludgeoning damage equal
to 2d6 + your Str modifi er in addition
to pushing the target back as normal.
Assuming your Strength check is high
enough, you can push your target back
more than 5 feet (as normal for a bull
rush, but without having to follow).
