*chuckles* I tend towards a descriptive combat style, just because I say someone grabs a shield to poke the user behind it, don't mean there's a grapple or disarm attempt going on. I  also am far from infallible, so by all means, if you think I messed something up, ask, but if you bug the DM unwarrantedly/repeatedly, I'm unashamed punishing that for my own sanity's sake. :P<br/><br/>... pathfinder is a lot of loose interpretation anyway, especially as soon as you start grabbing ropes and swinging around for additional pirate points or whatever.
