Repel mechanics. How exactly it works?

That would certainly make the Stone Sword, Sun Slayer, Shadow Brand, etc., exceedingly strong. Every time you attack Baron X the Gargoyle, he gets a repel roll and you (and the other five squares around you) have to roll MR or turn to stone. Ouch.

You may have noticed the "some" It would make AoE weapons really nasty - too powerful obviously.

Clearly the game is crying out, absolutely screaming, for a #repeleffect mod command

I understand that Johan is on something of a roll in the adding fun/useful mod commands department at present.

Then someone could go through and add a #repeleffect to every weapon in the game. I volunteer .... someone else
