No. Bad kitty. You may not use two (or more) weapons while grappling. That includes your claw/claw/bite. Bad kitty! Hey! Stop that! AAARGH!

There are at least two more internal contradictions: Page 9: "The touch attack made to start a grapple is an attack roll (so the bonus would apply to this roll), but a grapple check is not an attack roll, and thus the bonus wouldn’t apply to the grapple check." Page 27: "If the grab succeeds...

Heroes’ Feast -- it's great to be immune to fear!

Remember, you can prepare lower level spells in higher level slots, so if you can't think of a good 2nd level spell, prepare another Divine Sacrifice or Divine Favor. Tip of the Day: Rod, Metamagic, Maximize, lesser, 14,000 gp -- does amazing things to your Divine Sacrifice spell, especially if...

Scribe Scroll doesn't work that way with Use Magic Device. You can't use UMD to pretend that you know a spell. And you can't Take 10 with UMD.

Consider Combat Reflexes then Hold The Line (Complete Warrior). After you Spring Attack, your enemy must usually move to attack you. If he charges, Hold the Line gives you an extra attack of opportunity as he enters a square you threaten. This can give you two attacks to his one, especially if...

Keep in mind that creatures can only fly with a light load.

No, just follow the four steps.

Main FAQ:

DanMcS has it mostly right. His "gut" is right, too, per the 3.5e PH and the old 3e Main FAQ, multiple natural weapons do not grant multiple grapple attempts. But you can't use two (or more) weapons while grappling, so the round after initiating the grapple, Mr. Claws gets only one claw attack...

And after you Disarm your opponent (which could be done as a standard action) you could switch your grip on your weapon to one-handed (a free action) then (using a move action) you can reach 5 ft. into your opponent's square to pick up his weapon. This provokes an AoO on you, but your opponent...

When DMing, I have a problem thinking like a dumb monster with Power Attack. Presumably, a creature with the feat will try to make best use of it, taking a big penalty for soft, squishy targets and little to no penalty for hard-to-hit targets. But if the critter has Int 3, how well can it...

The Living Greyhawk campaign allowed the use of an iconic character to help out at low-level tables. When the campaign converted from 3e rules to 3.5e, iconics were still allowed for a few months, but there were no official 3.5e versions of the iconics. So I updated the iconic characters from 3e...

I just realized that lightning bolt is on the class spell list for the Adept NPC class. Kobolds with levels in NPC classes have a CR equal to their character level –3, presumably with a minimum of CR 1/4. So our 50 kobolds, Adept 3, could pass around a fully-charged Wand of Lightning Bolt...

One single character can't activate a Wand of Magic Missiles fifty times in one round. It would take fifty characters, all standing in formation, each delaying his action. Each one uses the wand (standard action) then passes it to the next character (move action) then drops prone (free action)...

Main 3.5e FAQ, page 26:

Technically, a War domain cleric can't use his Weapon Focus feat until he gets BAB +1, usually at level 2. But any reasonable DM will let him have the +1 anyway.

Keep in mind that you can't use two (or more) weapons while grappling. And the Improved Grab ability doesn't change this rule.

Hypersmurf has it exactly right, but I want to point out an ambiguity introduced by the PH Errata. There's an errata entry which says that soft cover does not apply to melee weapons. Then it goes on to modify only the rules for soft cover with a melee weapon in an adjacent square. That leaves...

Customer Service is clearly wrong on this one. (That happens quite a lot.) SRD:
