I didn´t liked the new CMB rules.
Because if you make an character that the BAB isn´t like a fighter, even if you have feats and strength bigger than fighters, they will always have a better chance to grapple than you. Here a sample:
Fighter lv 14 - Str 18(+4), BAB 14 (+14) --- Not prepared for grapple
DC = 15 + 4 + 14 = 29
Druid lv 14 - Str 18(+4), BAB 10 (+10), Improved Grapple (+2) --- prepare for grapple
CMB = 4 + 10 + 4 = 18
#############################
Both character´s have the same level and even the warrior been not prepared for grapple, he still have an advantage, the druid need´s to roll at least 11 to dmg, it´s less than 50%, and both have the same strength. That´s make no sense.
At higher levels is impossible to a class with BAB different from figther to win a grapple or any CMB action based.

Another thing that i dont liked was the withdraw manuver, it´s just like double move and you dont get an attack of oportunity!! And it´s very rare to have more than one enemy in the running way, so i think this mannuver should be shut down.
