#source-PlayerHandbook Using the [[Actions In Combat#Attack|Attack]] action, you can make a special melee attack to shove a creature, either to knock it [[Prone]] or push it away from you. If you’re able to make multiple attacks with the [[Actions In Combat#Attack|Attack]] action, this attack replaces one of them. - The target must be no more than one size larger than you and must be within your reach. Instead of making an attack roll, you make a [[Strength]] ([[Athletics]]) check [[Contests in Combat|contested]] by the target’s [[Strength]] ([[Athletics]]) or [[Dexterity]] ([[Acrobatics]]) check (the target chooses the ability to use). - You succeed automatically if the target is [[Incapacitated]]. ![[Incapacitated]] - If you succeed, you either knock the target [[Prone]] or push it 5 feet away from you. ![[Prone]]
