Bigby's Forceful Hand is a more powerful version of Bigby's Interposing Hand (q.v.).

It exerts a force in addition to interposing itself, and this force is sufficient to push a creature away from the spell caster if the creature weighs 500 pounds or less, to push so as to slow movement to 1" per round if the creature weighs between 500 and 2,000 pounds, and to slow movement by 50% of creatures weighing up to 8,000 pounds.

It takes as many hit points to destroy as its creator has. Its material component is a glove.
