[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 2260025, member: 2011"] It's strange, but DND core does not appear to have Martial Throws. However, last Sunday, my character was grappling with an opponent and I decided to "throw" the character 5 feet away into the edge of a Sleet Storm. The DM ruled that I could only Move and Grapple and would have to move into that square as well. But, it occurred to me that there might be a way to throw people when grappling. Do a Bullrush. The criteria for a Bullrush is that you use a standard action. Any opponent that threatens you gets an Attack of Opportunity. Since both you and your opponent "don’t threaten any squares while grappling", your opponent does not get an attack of opportunity against you. When you are grappling, the only attack limitation is that your attack must be "with an unarmed strike, natural weapon, or light weapon against another character you are grappling. You take a –4 penalty on such attacks". This could be ruled to include Trips, Bullrushes, etc. So, you might be able to do a Bullrush, a Trip, etc. while grappling, just at -4 to your roll. Thoughts?
