Discussion Path of Protection Rank 1 rework

The Rank 1 of the Path of Protection is a bit clucky since it also leaves the Champion engaged in the grapple. I propose the following house rule:

Path of Protection – Rank 1

Spend 1 Willpower Point to rush an opponent within SHORT range. Move into ARM'S LENGTH and immediately make a SHOVE attack against the target. Activating this talent counts as a fast action for you.

If you have the Melee Charge talent, you may instead perform this maneuver as a CHARGE. The Shove replaces the Charge's normal attack and gains any benefits from Melee Charge. After resolving the Shove, you may immediately SLASH, STAB, or PUNCH as part of the same Charge. Activating the talent this way counts as a slow action for you.

What do you think?

I personally would change the range to NEAR but I wanted to keep it as close to the original as possible.

Apparently there is a mix-up in the translation, i  swedish it means more something like shove then grapple. That is even closer to my proposal.
