I don't believe you can physically move objects in the game world. The only way I know of is if it's an enemy and you charge them hard enough to knock them a square away. If you mean the attack 'push' then you have to get injured so badly (such as a broken upper spine) that you can't attack with anything, and when you move into an enemy it says pushes instead of punches, stabs, etc.

[Lycus]

Thanks for the answer, I was just confused because I've heard people say they 'pushed' enemies off towers, into murky pools etc.

So without ruining my character, the only way to achieve this is to hope for a good charge?

[SeriousConcentrate]

That's pretty much it, yeah. ^^; If you've modded in a Bronze Colossus to be playable, or some other giant powerful race, you can grab enemies (shift+a, enter, [letter corresponding to enemy], select a free hand, then a body part) and throw them (same sequence of buttons, select the grappling hand, select throw from menu) if they're standing up. I've flung people halfway across the screen before that way as a slate gray demon. They probably would've went further if a tree hadn't stopped them. :3

I figure people are going to ask, so I'm going to quote jaxy15 here, who posted how to play as demons earlier in the 'What's going on in your adventure?' thread.

How the circus did you start as a demon!

An Ropeleader's journal, entry 3, time unknown.

I recruited a few peasants and got ambushed by wolves on my way to one of the two bandit camps.
The canines were easily dealt with. One of our bowmen was shot and killed, and I swore to avenge his death. An arrow struck me from behind and apparently hit my lung. Those fools come back for revenge. The peasant allies get wounded a bit, but we were victorious. We head into a shrine we were told about, and it is inhabited by a cycloptic mockingbird with a trunk and poisonous bite. It's time I fight something my size. I slice it's head off while it's atacking my remaining peasant ally. That was anticlimactic. I butcher the titan and take it's meat, I'm sure I could make some great profit.

And if you want to play as a Bronze Colossus, just add this to the bottom of the default_entity entry in your raws folder:

[ENTITY:BRONZE]
   [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE]
   [CREATURE:COLOSSUS_BRONZE]

Wow SC, you are by far the most helpful and epic person ever. Just, y'know, you rock.

Sorry to be 'that guy', but I have one more question. How do I use breath attacks? I'm playing as a Salamander in the Genesis mod which I know can breathe fire, but I have no idea how to do it...

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Unfortunately you can't use breath attacks as an adventurer.

[SeriousConcentrate]

That's true, unfortunately. But if you are playing as a race with a stinger that uses poison, you should be able to select the stinger from the aimed attack list (shift+a, [letter corresponding to enemy], select a body part, then what to attack it with) and the poison will work. Admittedly not all poisons are immediately useful since they tend to kill over time, but I'll take what I can get. And my current adventurer's stinger is apparently sharper than steel since it tends to sever anything I hit with it.

Edit: Also, thanks for the thanks. ^^ Really though, jaxy15's the cool guy who figured out about the demons, and I read about modding BCs so long ago I don't even remember who originally did that. I'm just sharing the wealth. :3

[sgt0pimienta]

You don't.

I have a question about armor, currently my guy is wearing 2 iron mail shirts, one bronze breastplate and a couple of cloaks, I fought some bogeymen recently and one of them was able to punch me in the stomach and it only said it went through one of the cloaks, does wearing more then one piece of upper body armor cancels all except for the one you put on last or something like that?

No, it's just that it only says that it breaks through the upper layer. All the armor works.

thanks for clearing that up.

Is there some weight/armour threshold at which you can't swim successfully anymore? Playing as a human, i've never had problems with jumping into pools and swimming, but now I've done the same and it says that i'm drowning. I've suffered no additional injuries, and I can't use ALT-direction to get out. My adventurer -is- tired, from strangling a horse: Perhaps that's what's stopping him from swimming?
Does anyone have a better idea of how swimming actually works? :3

[The Merchant Of Menace]

What's your swimming skill?
You need at least 2 levels in swimming before you can jump in to water with no effect IIRC

[General01]

Well, I just drowned, so I can't really check - but I raised swimming by one level at the game's start and gained another level while swimming around. I'd actually jumped into that exact same pool several times before, even wearing the same equipment. I wonder what changed...

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Had you been jumping into the air above the pool or into the pool itself?
