Generalized Effect

The use of this effect is denoted by the attacker announcing, “Wave!” All players within 10 feet of the creature or object are required to back up 10 feet and are forced to the ground as if hit by a knockdown effect. Though some creatures may be immune or be able to resist the Knockdown tagline, they are still forced back ten feet. Normally the visual for this effect is a wave of water washing the targets back, but variations such as “Force Wave” are more of an unseen force pushing the targets back. Damage can also
be added to this effect by various types of creatures or devices. This is described by adding the amount with the tagline: “10 Wave” forces the targets back ten feet, causes the targets to take a knockdown, and causes 10 points of damage. This damage cannot be blocked via a parry, weapon block, or the like, but can be soaked by armor, both natural and magical. This effect is also considered an area of effect and as such cannot be avoided via the Avoidance or Dodge abilities.
