Hey everyone! I'm currently in a group preparing to start a reign of winter campaign and I need help building my character. Looks like our group is going to be pretty ranged heavy so I'm looking to be up close and personal with the big baddies. I've been wanting to play some kind of combat manuever specialist like a grapple monkey for a while. I was thinking of doing a fighter but from what I've read it looks like some form of caster could easily be a better grappler so I've decided to go with a druid. I rolled 16 15 14 13 13 12 for my stats to be slotted as i see fit. If anyone could help me out and point me towards any feats or things i should look at that would be greatly appreciates

Cool beans, thanks.

Hi, quick question: does the dodge bonus a monk receives from spending a ki point stack with the bonus from dodge for a +5 or does it only take highest and stay at +4?

If I'm understanding what you are saying correctly:

You did not move out of or through a threatened square, just into one correct?

If this is the case then no, you would not have provoked an AoO.

If the monster was threatening the square you started in and you moved, not being able to take a 5' Step into the Difficult Terrain, you would provoke.

Just to be clear, you said 5' Reach, did you mean 10' Reach? Most Small or Medium Creatures have a 5' Reach, Large creatures tend to have a 10' Reach. 5' Reach means you can reach into an adjacent square, a 10' reach means you can reach one square further, leaving a 1 square gap between you. If you were 10' away (a 5' square between you and it) and you moved to next to it and it had a 10' Reach it would get an AoO.

The above assumes non-diagonal movement, but you can't avoid an AoO by moving diagonally to go from a 15' non-threatened square to an adjacent square as you pass through the 10' range during the movement even if it isn't a valid square.

I was not threatened before the movement and I was just noting that it had the standard 5ft reach (ie only adjacent squares)

Hello. Finished a session with my barbarian a few minutes ago and I had a question I was hoping someone could clear up. My barbarian was fighting some kinda flesh monster and there was the Monster above me with 5ft reach and me below him with a pile of dirt in between us that was difficult terrain. I moved onto the pile of dirt and made an attack. My GM said that moving into a threatened square with difficult terrain provoked an attack. I've only seen people use opportunity attacks on A people who move out of a threatened square that's not a five foot step and B miscellaneous actions like range attack, picking up an item, etc. My question is whether or not it does provoke an attack. I looked through the rules and didn't see anything definitive. Does that double move cost into the space count as something that provokes?
