I love the idea of push not letting staves hit you - this would leave it with thrustkick and drag to make the person come through staves, which are more easily defended against and they allow you time to heal/think before the lm has a time to move you.

push is a very good skill and by limiting how many times you can push it you can stuff some people up. i commonly use pushing to get people out of city locs and into forest locs, so it would take me a LOT longer to get them there. nothing to do with staves, just moving things.

If push was changed to not hit staves (like WIND or SPRINTING or GALLOPING) then the loremasters couldnt repeatedly push push push push... they would have to think of alternate ways to get you through staves...

Well, there is my two gold pieces
