| Jul 3, 2017 at 18:11 | comment | added | Jay | If I remember correctly, moving within threatened squares is different between Pathfinder and 5e and that might be something Pathfinder players don't realize. This difference allows for slightly more strategy without provoking OAs, especially if you use the variant facing rule. Recently my group held a battle royale where my cleric and the fighter were dancing around each other; they were trying to get past my shield while I was constantly trying to keep my shield between us. | |

| Jul 3, 2017 at 17:00 | comment | added | Aviose | Grappling doesn't have to be full on bear-hugging someone, so you could actually look at 'friendly grapples' as merely grabbing your ally and pulling them out of combat. This leaves the ally with their guard up until the precise moment that they are pulled out of combat, ensuring that they don't provoke an Opportunity Attack. (IIRC letting go is a free action, as well, so yank them out and let them go.) | |
