[QUOTE="Mistah J, post: 5128729, member: 29527"] I posted this on the Paizo boards but I thought it'd be cool to bring it here too: I was preparing for my campaign when I saw that the Winds Force table for Pathfinder remained the same from 3.5. Of course, there is nothing wrong with that system, but I thought "Hey! Strong winds seem like a great place to use the new CMB/CMD system." It kind of ballooned from there, but I quickly put together this set of alternate rules for myself and figured it might be worth sharing. [code] [SIZE=2]Wind Force Wind Speed Ranged Attacks Str.
