Grapple.

Dalelands is more old school and Tolkien-esque. We have the Shire parked next to a megadungeon. Sword Coast is more new-fangled 90s urban D&D.

March into battle surrounded by an army of low level NPCs. And the other forms have huge AoEs that can devastate enemy minions by the hundreds. The behemoth’s trample ability is particularly open to abuse. And that’s before you persuade your DM that your giant ape can wield a tree trunk and...

And the titan can cast a selection of spells and spell like special abilities whist shifted. Certainly if you just punch you are wasting it, but its emanations are massive. The bug titan can do AoE cure wounds covering an area of 96 grid squares at a cost of one first level slot.

Combat isn’t just about how much damage you do when you punch things.

Which would make something such as "Champions of Light and Darkness" more likely than Return of the Revenge of the Book of Vile Darkness Strikes Back. Featuring options for paragons of evil and good. We are missing Angel, Dragon and Angel-with-a-pet-dragon archetypes. Or Owlcat have taken over...

That's still wrong. When she raises the bow to vertical her hand holding the arrow will be upside down.

Pretty sure the term predates Paizo by a long way. Probably predates D&D too.

Larger size allows you to control more tiles.

A curious thing, I think I have seen all of these archetypes in Owlcat's Pathfinder Wrath of the Rightious CRPG!

I'm just catching up on this, starting at the beginning, so other people will likely have made the same points as me. So sorry for any repetition. The timescale makes the Ravenloft book just possible, but these don't look like last minute revisions to me. I would rate that as highly unlikely...
