A couple of questions for weirdly unrelated topics.
1) Do Holy Prayer Beads double up as a holy symbol, especially for spellcasting purposes?
2) When exactly do you have to announce your target when using Battle Cry? After set-up and before any Initiative is rolled/disclosed?
3) Is it correct that the Bida, a foe that is all about grappling has no Athletics skill?
1. Doesn't like like it does according to RAW, however I would allow it.
2. Looks like you choose the target at the same time as you're rolling initiative, likely you will also know your party's rolls at this time. Typically the GM doesn't tell you the enemy's initiative, so I don't think it matters that much, and if they do they typically don't do it at the exact same time as the party is telling them their rolls.
3. Definitely a mistake, otherwise you can't know the Escape DC.
Oh right, I should have said you can't know the appropriate Escape DC.
