How to learn

Classes:

• Class level 5: Giant (barbarian subclass)

Notes

• Like  Shove, this ability involves a contested Athletics check. Refer to Shove roll for details on how this is calculated.
• This ability uses your unarmed damage and can be increased by anything that normally increases unarmed damage such as:
  •  Tavern Brawler will add your Strength modifier to the damage.
  •  Martial Arts: Deft Strikes will increase it to 1d4Bludgeoning when multiclassing into Monk.
  • Gloves of Crushing and similar items will increase the damage.
• This ability cannot target enemies who are too heavy or immune to shoving such as  Ethereal creatures. Thus, the kick cannot even be used to deal damage against such targets.
• As with shove, the maximum weight of a creature that can be moved is Strength score × Multiplier.
  • For Boot of the Giants, this multiplier is 24 always.
  • For Shove, the multiplier is 12 normally, 5.1 when  Reduced, and 28.2 when  Enlarged.
