<p>A build that takes advantage of this: Grippli C-Monk (Maneuver Master)

L2 Retrain Dodge to Equipment Trick (Net)
<br />
L2 Bonus Dodge</p>
<p>At this point you've got a PC with a 10' Ranged Touch Net +6 to deliver Entangled. If this hits and the monk hasn't used a Move action yet, they can take a 5' step and Flurry of Maneuvers. They can then attempt a Grapple +8 against an Entangled foe with a -2 penalty to their CMD.</p>
<p>I'm sure there are other, better builds than this. Feel free to go nuts. I just figured the net was a way to skip the hands occupied grapple penalty with some decent utility. </blockquote><p>This is very interesting, but I'm confused as to where you got the +6 to hit and the +8 for the grapple. Shouldn't the to hit be +5 (+1 BAB, +4 dex)?

"In the Pathfinder Society (second edition) program, the following benefits are offered for each accessory category. A player may not benefit from more than one of these per session, with the exception of the Campaign Coin benefit.</p>
<p>Vestments: When you use a Hero Point to reroll a check, add a +1 circumstance bonus to the reroll.</p>
<p>Worn Accessory: Once per session, when rolling a check as a part of a victory points system, if you roll a critical failure, you get a failure instead.</p>
<p>Rules Reference: Once per session, when you use Treat Wounds or another character uses Treat Wounds on you, the result of the check is one degree of success better than the result that was rolled.</p>
<p>Other Item: Once per session, a character can gain the benefits of a two-action heal spell, heightened to the maximum spell level available to a cleric of the character’s level. This benefit can only be used in exploration mode.</p>
<p>Campaign Service Coin: Volunteers who make exceptional contributions to Organized Play can earn campaign coins or membership in the Order of the Wayfinder as a recognition of their hard work. When you use this benefit, you gain a bonus Hero Point at the beginning of the adventure. In addition to the normal powers of a Hero Point, you can spend this special Hero Point to allow another player to reroll a check."</p>

<div class="messageboard-quotee">Ryan Costello wrote:</div><blockquote><p>The action economy, obviously, but it really needs to be considered how good that is. There’s a reason 2e works better than 1e with three actions house ruled in. This is the foundation on which <b><i>a great game</i></b> was built. It makes thinking about your turn much easier, because you aren’t juggling as much between the concept of what you want to do and the mechanics of making it happen. [...]
</p>
Confining characters to three actions at all levels also helps with higher level play. As a fan of martial characters, 1e made any turn that I couldn’t stand still and full attack feel like a punishment. The higher the level, the more you lost not squatting. Being able to move and still attack twice, or more twice as far and still get an attack, adds dynamism and complexity to a martial’s turn.
<br />
Moreover, I like 2e spellcasters. The oracle specifically is a class I’ve played in both editions, and while I struggled with the experience in 1e, I love it in 2e. Similarly, the 1e paladin was never a class I paid much attention to, but as you’ll see in the new KD Adventure Series – Trouble In Otari Part 1, the champion’s focus spells give the class a lot of flavourful flexibility. There’s no combat in episode 1, but in later episodes you’ll see me mix up casting and fighting in such a satisfying way.</blockquote>Now please stop harassing this man with false claims. </blockquote><p>I don't really think it's harrassing to forget a post from a year ago.Syri wrote:Thomas Keller wrote: Didn't think he was into second edition at all.

My entire village moved from the Mushfens to Oprak when it was formed, lured by the hobgoblins' words about "a country for the oppressed monsters of Golarion". Oprak, however, is no paradise. We were constantly beset by giants, drakes, and other foul creatures. We called upon the hobgoblins for help, and they LAUGHED at our elders, my mother amongst them! When we returned, our new village had been destroyed, the people scattered.</p>
<p>Now a dark hate festers in my heart. For all the big folk who think they can boss around and make fun of those smaller and weaker than themselves! For Giants, for HOBGOBLINS, Vortch feels nothing but RAGE!</p>
<p>My mother sent me to Absalom, to the Society, hoping that seeing kinder big folk would soothe my wrathful heart. And, in a way, it has. Many of those who other goblins call "Longshanks", I now call friend. My worship of Gorum, hoping he would aid me in my battle against persecutors has waned. I have discovered a love for the natural world, and the Green Faith. I've also discovered a goddess named Milani, who seems more attuned to my outlook.</p>
<p>Do not get me wrong. I still tap into my fury in combat. It still burns as bright, in the heat of memory of wrongs done to me and mine. And woe to the giant or hobgobline that crosses my path.</p>
<p>But, outside of the fight, I'm much more stable now. Well, a little more.</p>I am Vortch.
