Maneuver Offense

Maneuver Offense

Disambiguation: Maneuver Offense was formerly known as Combat Maneuver Bonus (CMB)

Each character and creature has a maneuver offense value that represents its skill at performing maneuvers (e.g. Trip, Bull Rush, Overrun, etc.). A creature's maneuver offense 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 offense. For example, targeting a creature with partial cover inflicts a -4 penalty to both attack rolls and maneuver offense checks on the creature attacking it.
