Actual 5e Shove

This mod attempts to align the shove action closer to D&D 5e rules. In addition to the mechanic changes, players and NPCs can now shove prone. This will likely increase the difficulty of combat. Tactical positioning, using the help action, having high STR/DEX, and protecting weaker characters will all be more important.

Disclaimer

• []This mod turns the vanilla shove action into a spell container. The consequence of this is that the hotkey for shove will no longer work. If you want the hotkey to continue working, then don't install this mod.

  []This mod gives any NPC that had access to shove the ability to also shove prone. This will likely make combat harder, especially when surrounded. The AI really likes inflicting the prone condition so I gated its use behind lock conditions and timed cooldowns. This system needs a lot more play testing, feedback and criticism to balance. Details below.

  []This mod is a part of my standard action series and I made this mod for myself. I am choosing to share it. Changes I made were either to follow 5e rules or the spirit of 5e rules in whatever way made sense to me.

Compatibility

• []Will conflict with any mod that makes changes to any of the "Target_" entries listed below. These conflicts should be limited to inconsistent behavior. Avoid mods that change Target_Shove in any way.

  []Should be safe to install/uninstall anytime outside of combat. As with all mods, use caution installing/uninstalling mid campaign and make back ups. I am not responsible for your broken saves.

  []I am unsure how this mod will behave in multiplayer/cross console. Might work... might not. But if problems pop up, let me know.
