Knocking PCs out of trees

If a PC has high enough STR and is near enough to a tree to climb it, they should get an option to SHAKE THE TREE - this should have a chance of dislodging fruit if a fruit tree or PCs if any PC is in the tree... make it an opposed STR vs DEX check.

This from 'Ghost' of Amia in chat.

Be well. Game on.

Similar use of RS power if near a TABLE could unseat/knockdown all those seated near table. Great for barroom brawls.

Would add nice touches. Like an orc pc, if they sit down they may causea table to shake or chair to break do to their weight.

though the tree system is not yet fully working, people in trees can still be hit by melee for example.

The whole issue of climbing a tree is to avoid melee yes?

So what is the advantage other then rp of climbing a tree?

RP Scouting bonusses, firing from upon high, so tactical advantage in general, or just for the love of being a tree hugging elf.

Avoidance of melee, or hiding - some creatures can rest up there too (bird, bat and cat forms). Ambushes can be launched from these locations too.

edit to add : Creatures in a tree can only be hit by and can only use spells and missiles, so melee is avoided by climbing a tree.
