      Shove is not a 100% success when invisible or hidden on targets that can be shoved. No idea why it says that.

      • Anonymous

        Does anyone know if Shove counts as an unarmed attack in the game? Will it work with The Sparkle Hands magic gloves?

          Any idea how shove distance is calculated? I'm this close to being able to shove Kagha off the ledge she stands near, and curious how much extra strength it would take to do it.

          • It's your Athletics check vs DC 10 + their Athletics or Acrobatic (whatever is higher). Eg. 2 vs DC 12 = shove success chance 55% (rolling 10 or more). Every point of difference is 5% up or down. Guidance cantrip does apply to this check but it's a little bugged (percentage goes crazy due to constant rolling 1d4 on background)

              How does the game determine if shove works or not? As a warlock would like to know so I can pick the best hex option
