Non-Tetori Grappler vs. Freedom of Movement


Advice


So I'm making a grappling Brawler in PFS and I know in the higher levels casters often have Freedom of Movement. What are some ways that I can counter Freedom of Movement without being a Tetori Monk?

Best I can come up with is something like a wand of dispel magic - any grappler should have Greater Grapple and eventually Rapid Grappler - with UMD you could maybe get a wand charge used and still maintain the grapple?


You could just (shield-)gag the caster.

I played a barbarian based grappler in PFS. I went with having a good spellcraft skill (To identify FoM on a target) and went the spell sunder, rage power, tree to use spell sunder to dispell the FoM on the target before grappling him.

Preferably I would ask a wizard party mate to help me get a dispell on that FoM, so I can just move in to grapple.

A well build grappler, never has to worried about a target casting FoM, AFTER you have grapple the target. The DC to cast a spell when grappled would be just way too high!


You could also, in the flavor of Secane's idea, pick up Shatterspell feat (as a dwarf), at 10.
