When shoving an object off a ledge, it can go further than {{dist|m=6}} since it will continue its parabolic trajectory as it falls. | Note, however, that the maximum shove distance assumes level terrain.

Shove is an excellent tool to exploit terrain and environmental hazards. When pushing enemies off ledges, they will take damage according to the [[falling damage]] rules if they fall at least {{dist|m=4}}. Additionally, if they fall at least {{dist|m=8}}, they will get knocked {{Cond|Prone}} with no [[saving throw]]. Pushing enemies into chasms is even more potent, but you lose out on any loot they carry. | |||
Aside from the obvious use of pushing enemies to their deaths, Shove has a wide range of creative uses. | |||
* Shoving can be used to avoid {{SAI|Opportunity Attack|Opportunity Attacks}} by pushing a threatening enemy out of range before retreating. | |||
* It can be used to rouse a creature from {{Cond|Sleeping}} or help them shake off the effects of certain spells like {{SAI|Hypnotic Pattern}}. | |||
* Shoving (or even just attempting a shove) counts as an attack for the purposes of maintaining {{Cond|Rage}}. | |||
* Allies can be shoved out of range of dangerous effects. For example, you can shove an ally that is {{Cond|Garrotted}} by a [[Meazel]] to break the effect. | |||
