Physical Fitness > [[Combat Maneuvers]] >= [[Perception]]. [[Shield Use]] factors into some maneuvers, but not all. Those are the standard skills that are taken into account.

This is only true in stance offensive. In stance defensive (and a sliding scale up to that point based upon stance), Combat Maneuvers provides twice as much bonus vs. Perception.

Physical Fitness is the primary skill for defense against standard creature maneuvers.

SILVEAN: However, ranks in the Combat Maneuvers skill does help with defending against creature maneuvers in equal measure with the much cheaper Perception skill.

This is only true in stance offensive. In stance defensive (and a sliding scale up to that point based upon stance), Combat Maneuvers provides twice as much bonus vs. Perception.

Subject: Re: Ayep.

The armor penalty is a relatively significant factor. For a character exactly trained for full plate at cap, it contributes a penalty a little bit above the difference between 1x and 2x PF. Overtraining in armor to reduce the action penalty and/or using Armored evasion can reduce the maneuver penalty by a fairly significant amount, however.

>Does the bonus 618 provides to avoiding standard critter maneuvers increase with dedicated training in the ranger circle? If so, is the bonus capped at level? -Droit

Yes, the Mobility bonus is dependent upon Ranger spell ranks. The bonus is not capped.
