Is this an intentional change or a typo? If it is intentional, then why the change? It seems to me to be a very poor change if it is one.2) Page 74 under Opposed Skill checks changes how this works in d20 in a very subtle, but to me very important way. It says it is basically setting the defender's opposed roll as the DC, but in reality it is setting the defender's opposed roll +1 as the DC.In D&D, the person with the higher ability modifier wins in such a tie (as kept in Initiative in IH). Does this count for all opposed rolls besides Initiative? For example, does the defender in a Grapple always win a tie?Is this intentional? It seems like it is, but I'll ask anyway. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />3) Withdraw confuses me. It looks like you can withdraw up to twice your normal movement (so someone with 30' movement could move 60'), but if you actually use this full movment it carries no benefit. You have to actually move at half speed to gain the benefit of not provoking AoOs, so someone with 30' move could only move 30' as their entire full round action. Which is basically a double move Tumble without needing to use the Tumble skill to be successful.4) Back to Attacks of Opportunity while using normal movement. The page 181 bit on movement makes me pause again, as I have two possible interprietations, but one doesn't seem to match up with the Withdraw action. When I first read it, I thought it meant that you could move your full movement without provoking, but if more than 1/3 of that movement was moving into threatened spaces, then you would suffer AoOs. This very much sounds to me like I can move 30 feet in a round, and if 1/3 of that is into a threatened area (10 ft), then I don't provoke. However if 15' or more of this is spent moving into threatened squares, then I do suffer AoOs. But, looking at the Withdraw action, it seems like I can only move 10 feet total to avoid AoO.Which is correct? In either case what is the difference between this and a 10' step? Thanks for any responses!</blockquote>
