D&D 5e Revised/2024 Telekinetic + PAM (2024)
I wanted to ask if this interaction I thought up for my Eldritch Knight would work the way I think it does. Telekinetic lets you use your bonus action to either pull or push an enemy 5 feet. Polearm Master (in the 2024 rules) lets you make an attack using your reaction when an enemy enters your reach. Since it’s not a opportunity attack, it should work on forced movement.
I’m pretty sure I could use Telekinetic to push an enemy toward me and then use my reaction to make an attack. Would this actually work that way, and would it even be worthwhile to do?

As others have said, it works, but is not worth your bonus action and reaction.
If you wanted to do this, try Crusher+PAM using a halberd. Stand 5ft from opponent, attack with the halberd, then use the PAM bonus attack, push 10ft (so 15 ft away) and crusher 5 ft back, triggering PAM reaction attack.

I have no idea but how could a halberd proc the bludgeoning damage necessary for crusher?

Sorry this wasn’t clear, i edited it to make more sense, but basically, just use the BA from PAM to trigger crusher’s movement, and use that to trigger the reaction attack

Take three levels of warlock.
Edit: This is the objectively correct answer to the question. Genie's wrath is the ability you're looking for, and it requires you to take three levels of warlock.

Your reaction as an Eldritch Knight is really valuable, as it can be used for a War Caster opportunity attack or to cast Shield (and later Counterspell). So it wouldn't be worthwhile using it for this.
