I want a big guy with a big sword to block the small swords!
Fighter Open Stance
Requirements You are not wielding a shield and you are wielding a melee weapon.
If you time it right, a sword is a shield. You can now take the raise a shield action using your sword to block incoming blows. Your AC does not increase, but the weapon functions just like a shield for using shield block feat.

Product– Pathfinder Society Scenario #4-05: The Arclord Who Never Was
System- Pathfinder
Producer– Paizo

TL; DR-Good overall story, but small issues in the middle beats. 83%
Basics– Who is the skull? You find a talking skull…what the heck is up with that? Find out who the skull is and continue the mystery of the fey who want it!
Mechanics or Crunch– The math is all balanced for this adventure, but the progression of it is a bit skewed. This adventure is basically several skill tests, a potential fight, skill test/fight, plot, skill tests, then end fight. Players who are combat monsters will be a bit bored as the goal of most damage will not be a major time sink for the game. It is all balanced for the numbers and skills used, but the game is moving to much more explore, report, corporate and less destroy all things. 4/5
Theme or Fluff– The overall story of this adventure is great, but the beat by beat is a bit off. The basics are to learn about the skull. Characters are introduced in throw away lines and given full pictures, but I don’t honestly know who they are and how they fit into the flow. This leads to players asking questions that I honestly can’t answer. It’s nice to have, but it feels off. One example is a NPC who talked to the skull as a person, but that person is mentioned exactly four times. All four times are either in the paragraph saying he talked to her or his pictures. NO real description of who he is and why we care. The major pieces are fun and the second half of the adventure comes together well. The first half has good things that just don’t fit true. 3.5/5
Execution– PDF? Yep. Hyperlinked? Yep. Solid Art? Yep. Good layout? Yep! This is what I expect from a Paizo adventure. I complained that there are TOO many pictures. That’s a good problem to have. 5/5
Summary– I like the metaplot between the starter adventure, this adventure, and the last of the trilogy about this magic talking skull. The crunch is good, but not even. If you just want to beat things, this is not your adventure. If you want to explore a magic town, this is a blast. As a GM, some pieces don’t quite work. I want more background on some characters. Help me use the NPCs and their pictures to fill out the social bits of the adventure. It’s physically well done, and the big story is a blast. I just need more flow in the middle. 83%

Been playing God of War again, so here is an idea that comes right from there!
You’ve gotten used to directing your opponents in battle! Make a basic melee strike against an opponent who is at least one size category larger then you. If the attack is successful, you do damage equal to your Strength modifier and climb on the back or top of your opponent and can direct them around. This counts has having the creature grabbed. While riding them, as an action you can make them take the stride action. Any creature they move through may make a reflex save or take damage equal to the Strength modifier of the creature your are riding. The creature can escape the grab as normal, and you can change this to restrained following the normal rules for doing so. You can also strike the creature as normal as well.
