I have to agree with the other fellow. "Forced back a hex" ranges from seldom useful to actively counter productive. If you push him back a hex on your Turn and he takes a Step on his Turn you could be at 2 hexes of range on your next Attack and if you have only a 1 hex weapon your critical did him a big favor.

Even "Roll DX or fall down" would frequently do nothing.

A graduated range of results going from +1 per Die to +2 and +3 with scarcer rolls would always give the attacker something for his Crit.

No matter how good he rolls, Joe Average should not be knocking Godzilla around with a whiffle bat.

Better option would be double or triple damage for calculating knockback.

Only Crushing weapons even do Knockback. That's besides the point made about not necessarily _wanting_ your enemy to get farther away from you.
