    Question [4E]Forced Movement Question

    I've been running a 4E campaign for a few weeks now, and it feels like the group is really getting the hang of it. However, there's something I can't seem to find in the rules about forced movement. What happens if forced movement makes a creature end its move in an ally's or enemies square? Any help would be appreciated.

    Well, simply put, I don't think forced movement can make a creature end its move in an occupied square, except in some specific instances.

    And according to the actual section on movement into others' squares.

    • Ending Movement: You can end your movement in an ally's square only if the ally is prone. You can end you movement in an enemy's square only if the enemy is helpless.
    So if the ally in the square isn't prone, or the enemy in the square isn't helpless, the forced movement makes the target stop before it enters that square. If the ally is prone (or the enemy helpless), then the forced movement works as normal.
