I... woo, that feels GREAT!
I'm not sure why I didn't do this sooner to be honest. Not only do I no longer feel... delicate and, well, feminine, but I feel downright sturdy! Not something I've had a lot of experience with, my life having mostly to do with reading books, but it does feel good.
What's more, now these creatures seem to be committed, and positioning myself for tactical advantage no longer seems quite so suicidal. I stride forward on my long legs, positioning myself between the two clumps of the fray- the goblins attacking the bard and the gnolls being... lewd, and bellow a deep-voiced incantation, bringing my broad, knuckley hands together with a thunderous BOOM, sending a shockwave out in all directions to clear up the rabble.
((each creature within 15 feet of me makes a DC 13 constitution saving throw, in a fail they are pushed 10 feet away from me and take 2d8 = 1+3 damage (I cannot roll damage >_< ever). On a success they take half damage and aren't pushed))
