I was excited to hear about the Giantslayer Adventure Path. I figured this would be a good time for Paizo to produce the official rules for the "Shadow of the Colossus"-style combat that I've seen so many users homebrew.

Do any of the volumes feature such rules? Has a previous Paizo product already done this and I missed it?

If a race provides +2 to any two Ability Scores, and a -2 to any one Ability Score, and none of those modifiers can be applied to the same place...

How many possible combinations would that be?

"Whirlwind (Su): At 9th level, you gain the ability to turn into a 10-foot-high whirlwind once per day for 1 round per sorcerer level."

QUESTION 1: What type of action is this? Swift, Standard, Move, etc.

QUESTION 2: Ultimate Magic references page 306 of the Bestiary which states, "Ceatures one or more size categories smaller than the whirlwind might take damage when caught in the whirlwind (generally damage equal to the monster's slam attack for a creature its size)..."
I'm playing a Medium character. Do I deal 1d4 damage even if I technically don't have a slam attack?

QUESTION 3: "An affected creature must succeed on a Reflect save when it comes into contact with the whirlwind or take damage as if it were hit by the creature's slam attack. It must also succeed on a Reflex save or be picked up bodily and held suspended in the powerful winds, automatically taking the indicated damage each round."
Does this mean it makes both saves in that order, or it only makes the second save if it fails the first one?
