[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 6344744, member: 232"] I would save things like grapple, disarm, and sunder for later. They aren't hard mechanics just different a can be a little odd. For the AP I would make the first adventure last a little longer by stretching it out the days it takes to complete. I would use that time to establish what the city is like, how the ruler is, and let the PCs immerse themselves in it. I would do that because things change quickly in the AP and to make sure the PCs understand how things change I would want them to have a clear picture of how things used to be.
