12-31-04, 10:14 AM Hi all, just wanted to ask if this combination works, and if it is any good. I am playing a half-ogre mineral warrior ftr/bbn going for warhulk (yes, the DM is letting me for a bit of fun), using a greatsword.

I was going to take Improved Bull Rush, combined with Knockback and Rampaging Bull Rush from Races of Stone.

Knockback gives you a free bull rush attempt when you hit with a power attack, and means you push the opponent back without moving yourself. Rampaging bull rush knocks the opponent prone on a successful Bull Rush whilst raging.

Now, can I knock someone back with Knockback and get an AOO with my reach when they approach again? Also, if knocked prone, would I get an AOO when they stand up?

Is this a good combination? Any other ideas?

12-31-04, 04:06 PM where is this knowckback feat from, and which half-ogre are you using?

i just want to point out that, if it's the savage species one, rish redman admitted on the ss boards that it's la was an accident. it should have been +2. the reason i remember this so well is that he said it in response to one of my posts :D .

"Combat brute" feat in the CW. Mineral warrior I have no clue what that is or does. What erata is this from? Also is the warhulk from RoS?

12-31-04, 05:23 PM Knockback is found in Races of Stone, Warhulk is found in the Miniatures Handbook. Combat Brute and Shock Trooper are two must-have feats. The synergy between the two feats has been discussed a few times, once by myself and rilem.
