The forum posts on grapple are many and quite confusing to follow the whole story. So please let me ask.....

Other than using DC 12 + CMB were there any other generally agreed-to changes to the way grapple / CMB works? Did Paizo ever state that the DC 12 change would be in the final version?

One thing that always bugged me though was that all of my monster manuals use grapple with the old size modifiers. To bad there's not a away to fix grapple from 3.5 but not change the grapple scores for chars and mobs. This way we would not need to make numerical adjustments.

Does anyone else believe that the hit dice mods were not needed for chars such as the wizard?

I've been using the beta rules for a few months and the existing d4 based hit points have been fine for our wizard. I never really had an issue with them dying off at low levels either because they were always protected by the meleers like an artillery piece would be protected.

I plan on keeping the old hit dice for each of the classes - which is the only rule that I havent really liked out of the whole beta book.
