All I can say is outstanding! Really nice work here, thanks for the contribution to the community.


Great idea, keep us posted!


Heya - maybe my search-fu stinks (entirely possible) but I can't find an answer to this question...

Is there a size restriction to the disarm maneuver ala the trip maneuver?

My understanding is that trip can only be performed on an opponent that is one size different from the attacker.

I don't see this same restriction on disarm. Sooooooo.....a gnome can disarm a giant?

Thanks in advance!

Wow, I never noticed that until now. Thanks, I like this a lot.

Yeah, never noticed it either but it sure makes sense now!


Crystal clear Alizor, many thanks!!


Hahaha....yep, deserved that one!


Hi folks,

Looks like there are 3 basic ways to separate the list(s) of melee attacks in the Bestiary.... "commas" / "or" / "and".

I want to make sure I understand the significance of each. I know,this is basic stuff but I gotta make sure....

1. When attacks are separated by commas, it’s a listing of all available attacks in a full round action. For example, in the Bestiary Preview the dire ape is listed as:

- Melee: bite +6 (1d6+4), 2 claws +6 (1d4+4)

- As a full round action the dire ape can make 3 attacks. 1 bite at +6 and 2 claw attacks at +6.

- As a standard action the dire amp can only make 1 attack. I assume the bite is primary since it's listed first. That 1 attack is at +6.

- Correct?

2. When listed attacks are separated by the word "or", its showing the choice of all available attacks in a full round action. For example, in the Bestiary Preview a skeleton is listed as:

- Melee: broken scimitar +0 (1d6), claw -3 (1d4+1) OR 2 claws +2 (1d4+2)

- As a full round action, the skeleton can make 2 attacks. Either scimitar + claw OR 2 claws.

- As a standard action, the skeleton makes 1 attack. In this case, I assume the scimitar is the primary attack.

- Correct?

3. Finally, some monsters have attacks that are listed using the word "and". I could not find a suitable entry in the Preview and I don't have my core Bestiary with me but I do remember that the Ettercap has the word "and" listed between its attacks. For now let's assume that the Ettercap entry is as follows:

- Melee: 2 claws and 1 bite.

- What's the difference between "2 claws, 1 bite" and "2 claws and 1 bite"? Seems to me that the "comma" and the word "and" mean the same thing??

Thanks in advance!


just curious....any other benefits besides the obvious one associated with the two weapon fighting feat?


OK, not to derail this but I gotta ask...

1. A fighter is in melee with an orc. A bow using rogue is 30' directly behind the fighter. The orc is not flanked? The fighter does not get the +2 to hit and the rogue does not get a sneak attack?

2. Same example, but the rogue is in melee using a short sword. Both the fighter and rogue are flanking and the rogue can sneak attack.

3. 2 fighters are flanking an orc. The rogue is inline with 2 fighters but 30' away using a bow.. Thus the orc is flanked (by the fighters). Does the rogue get a sneak attack?

Thanks.


Fantastic Cos, Thanks!


Hi - can I get this order split up so that in stock items ship immediately, the pre-ordered PFRPG Bestiary ships when available (Oct) and the pre-ordered PRPG GM screen ships when available (Nov)?

Right now all these items are at the mercy of the GM screen schedule and I don't want to wait till Nov for the other items.

Charge my card the appropriate shipping costs.

Is this possible?

Many thanks!


Great stuff, keep it up. Downloading episode 2 as I type!
