Maneuver Offense
- Disambiguation: Maneuver Offense was formerly known as Combat Maneuver Bonus (CMB)
- Each character and creature has a maneuver check value that represents its skill at performing maneuvers (e.g. Trip, Bull Rush, Overrun, etc.). A creature's maneuver check is determined using the following formula:
Character Level + (STR modifier -or- DEX modifier) + Size modifier
- Size Modifier: Fine -4, Diminutive -3, Tiny -2, Small -1, Medium +0, Large +1, Huge +2, Gargantuan +3, Colossal +4, Titanic +5.
- Feats: Some feats and abilities grant a bonus to your maneuver check when performing specific maneuvers.
- Penalties: Any penalties to a creature's attack rolls also apply to its maneuver check. For example, targeting a creature with partial cover inflicts a -4 penalty to both attack rolls and maneuver checks on the creature attacking it.
