Unfortunately it didn't see much use before my groups switch to 4E. But I think it's a valuable aid.Though actually the only thing disappointing me a little was the Grapple stuff - it is very exhaustive - but I am still not sure how Improved Grab, Constrict and similar abilities actually work and interact. Questions we were often stumbling upon - despite using the Grapple rules quite a bit: 1) If you have Improved Grab, do you deal damage with your first successful grapple check to establish the grapple?2) Is constrict in addition to regular damage for a Grapple or applies only once per round?3) Is constrict applied upon the first successful grapple check to establish the grapple.4) What damage options do I have when pinning opponents? Can I still roll Grapple?5) Do I deal damage when making a succesful Grapple check to pin an opponent (what if "I" have constrict, improved grab orsnatch etc.pp.)6) What attack bonuses do I use for subsequent Grapple Check? Full BAB + STR + Size Modifier, or using the declining -5/-10/-15 progression? What if defending myself? Always full BAB?And something we missed for a very long time: Pinning lasta only one round, regardless of grapple check success</blockquote>
