i have a monk that has a grapple feat and not been able to grab most of the big bads in the game. i plan to take trip and disarm later to be more versatile i have focused mostly on ac and now i need good ways to boost to hit and cmb and what stacks with cmb? thx guys.
i am the muchkin monk lol and this thread is my fault http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2pwvy?How-do-you-get-your-players-to-stop-being (sorry david lol) (and i dont count good feat selection and resources as min/max) (may be wrong would also like opinion of that) so in the interest of fairness and my detail over site im posting my build pls correct all errors on my side. quin lv 4 monk (monk of the four winds) str 16
hp 36 ac 23 fort 6
cmb 7 cmd 25 skills
flaw shaky -2 range atks (benefit extra feat) feats
monk abilities elemental fist 4/day
equipment
so thats all the useful data here the break down wis 3 dex 5 bracers 1 ring 1 crane 1 turtle 1 fight lv4 monk 1 fight defensively 3 (3 due to acrobatics) so 10+3+5+1+1+1+1+1+3 = 26 on avg flurry 23 potion of shield and mage armor (usual tactic) ac 29
to hit
melee 7 defensively 5
dmg sword d8+4 (two hand) i never hit any thing and to raise my ac eats turn economy things i have learned i done wrong -not dropped my ac by 3 when i flurry for using a full standered action and not using my action to fight defensively -not stating im using elemental fist (apparently its a called atk)-my bad - stacking turle style with crane style (thought i could legally) if i cant for sure lower all ac totals by one -not declaring my swift actions to say what style im in (didnt know about the swift actions) -for getting my ac is 3 higher because of an action and for get to change/announce it on charge or other actions so i believe thats it so the purpose of the build is to tank and grapple every one feel free to comment -win games (and side note my first charter died cause he was a squishy skill monkey and there be big monsters some times lol no hard feeling on the death)-it was miles fault any way not the dm
is there rules for pole vaulting? i have a monk who carries a long spear and in my opinion he could use this to get a minor boost in jumping pits and getting a leg up for over hangs and such. offical rules or do i have to homebrew? and do you guys agree with this idea?
I have a few questions and I love the message boards cause things are made clear real fast. 1: Im grappling I maintain the grapple and im in control I go to "pin" then "tie up", this taking a couple of turns Do I roll cmb vs cmd to do this or is this just an standered action I take with out a roll? 2: can I grapple as part of a charge? I know It gives you +2 sunder.trip,and disarm. and not to grapple but dose the rules allow me to as a charge action so i dont take the AoO?
3: If not, Is there a feat or archtype that would allow me to do so? 4: (and off topic dose charge negate all AoO no matter how many threathen areas he runs though?) and thanks for the help every one.

what be some good feats for a rouge sorc going arcane trickster?
can you use power atk with every atk or is it just on full round action or a standerd action?
this started as a joke and i just wanted to see if this was possible within the rules. so the combo is you get a sap (nl weapon) and you cast masterwork transformation on it obivioily making it masterwork. a master work item can be enchanted and thus you enchant the mw sap with masterwork transformation. thus what ever you touch,atk,or sunder with the sap becomes masterwork. and sense it dose nl dmg it dosent hurt the item. and you have free masterwork every thing. opinions any one?
can you coupe de gra some one who is tied up? and if they survive the first time can you do it again?
dose charging add only pluses to atk or dose it add to cmb also? ex. i charge some one to tackle them so i can use the grapple action. can i do that? do i get a bonus?
due to my love of cha based charaters, and new passtion of bostan legal i have desided i need a charater concept for a adventuring lawer type. there are many hamlets that need lil things resolved. it would be similar to the concept of the confesser from legend of the seeker. so after looking over some heated moral debates i think it would be fun to play a LN cleric of Asmodiuos. the question here is what kind of build would you guys make based on the travling lawer concept?
if any of you were to open a shop were ppl could come game and eat what would u name it? ideas?
had argument with game group pretty much had fist fight over it, and i only herd bits of it so the question is is there different variables for the person grappling and the person being grapple?. This is mostly concerning magic and wizards components. the agreed apon things are they both get the grappled condition wizards but beat the concentration check to cast and thats all is agreed on, the big argument is that is the spell caster controls the grapple it can act normally besides the concentration check. also the argument is that ruling under grapple page, is confusing cause it list details under the both grappled and pined and there for open to interpretation and confusing. clarity any one?
in the abundance of free time i was thinking about golems and other uses for them. Honestly a lot of them are cheesy but interesting to me. dose a golems shape always have to be humanoid? to my memory all in the bestiary are all human shape. if they can be any shape can they be headless with space for storage. if that is a fact, couldn't a golem be hollowed out in the top allowing for pc to ride in them? a make shift iron man suit of some kind, of course i think the shield guardian template would make it more viable, allowing it to be voice commanded. this just train of thought and not to be taken too seriously. of course if this kick started any body gears i would love to hear if it practical or not. maybe the simple idea is to animate a large suit of armor for a half-ling to ride in, modified of course.
