This is a rule question that my group has been wondering about. Can you use the Repelling Blast Invocation to launch someone ten feet in the air which in turn causes them to drop to the ground and become prone?
And if you are under them and launch them straight up, you will have to make a dex 15 save or they will land on you - in which case both of you split the damage and both of you end up prone, Tasha's Cauldron, Page 170.
And I don’t know if you could get directly underneath them as you can’t end movement in another creatures space to cast the spell. Unless they were somehow above you flying or levitating above you and didn’t have hover.
You don't need to be directly under them, you could be in a space nearly-directly under them and it could still pop them up 10 ft.
How far down you are will determine how far off to a side you can be from directly under them. 10ft off to the side but 150ft below them is basically still just straight up enough to launch them 10ft up.
EG. You have enemy archers at the edge of the cliff face 100ft up shooting down into the battle. You run over next to the cliffside and launch your EB+RB at one and it'll knock him up 10ft. He takes EB damage plus falls 10ft and lands prone.

They go in a straight line away from you, so you would have to be underneath them to try it.
And you'd have to be directly underneath them to get the 10 feet necessary for damage, which is required for leaving them prone.
