Half the time simply walking away as your third action locks the boss out of using that ability."I step back" is a meta move in Pathfinder.A counter to it that equally extreme as the opposing move is "I grapple them." Which is a great way to put an enemy right where you need them for another person's 3-action kill move.I've also seen the new 'reposition' move uses to extreme:On my first action I reposition that guy to this other side of the door here. On my second action I close the door, trapping that one guy in the room with all of us. On my third action I step back so the caster can drop an AoE on the spot, or I grapple him, or I attack, or whatever... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Reposition is only one roll: athletics with their save as your DC.- Suddenly your "basic martial" can be all about terrain control and putting people exactly where you want them to be.Best use of this I saw was when our barbarian's third action after that reposition was to 'shove' the NPC further into the room, right where the other PCs were standing - so they all got all 3 actions without needing to move in first.Too bad he did that against the weakest enemy in the fight. But he's done similar since against tougher targets.</blockquote>
