Knock Back (General)
On a powerful attack, you can push foes a step back from you.
Prerequisite: Power Attack, Base Attack Bonus +6, Str 15+
Benefit: Any time you hit an opponent and score maximum damage, your opponent must make a Fortitude save against a DC equal to 10 + the damage dealt. On your opponent’s failed save, you knock back him back five feet. You can choose not to use this ability. Special size modifiers apply to the save attempt, unless you are of the same size as your opponent, in which case the modifier is +0. If your opponent is Colossal, then he receives a +16, Gargantuan +12, Huge +8, Large +4, Medium +0, Small -4, Tiny -8, Diminutive -12 and Fine -16. If you knock an opponent into a square he cannot occupy, or one occupied by another opponent, he takes an addition 1d6 + the barbarian’s Strength modifier in damage. Creatures immune to critical hits are immune to Knock Backs.
