Sorry for the delay. In addition to my busy weekend, I had to do some digging through the rules.
My interpretation of what I read is that just as with the pre-remaster rules, attack roll modifiers like courageous anthem, do not apply to skill actions like grapple.
This was explicitly mentioned in the Core Rulebook FAQ, but I could not find anything definitive in the Player Core or FAQ. What I based my decision on was the rules section of attacks in Player Core 302-203, specifically on the last part of that section, "Compare to AC" suggests that if it doesn't target AC, then it is not an attack roll, but a skill check with the attach trait (meaning MAP applies). There are items that make exceptions such as the Shadow Signet, but they explicitly spell out that the check is still an attack roll.
It mattered in this case as a phistophilus has a Fortitude DC of 28.
If someone has seen something definitive from a rules source that says this has changed, please point it out to me.
Huh, Today I Learned, it's a Skill Check with the Attack Trait, and not an Attack Roll. We'll see if this bites us later and she comes back with reinforcements...
Yeah. There is attack rolls and there is the attack trait. But Hirondelle would like the song that augment the athletics skill next fight.
Also cool! The majority of table didn't kill a cheliaxian!
Fin-thir, Emmanuel and Charles, estes You can position yourself adajacent to the square that are inside to the orange line.

Yes. Hirondelle is essentially Hercules for two actions!
