[QUOTE="Vertexx69, post: 4382294, member: 48854"] [sblock=@ Arabesu]Please don't take my rules lawyering personally. I've recently had a string of DMs that would ignore the basic rules of the game, especially with grapple, to kill my characters out pf spite whenever I did anything clever, and it made me a bit punchy. Thats just me trying to use logic again with D&D where it obviously has no place, so just ignore my rantings. I was trying to use real world models for bits that aren't clearly explained in 3.5, (such as, anyone thats ever seen people grapple knows that it takes your whole body, and not just 1 limb). There are specific feats that allow the type of grapple you are describing ie: multigrab and greater multigrab that specifically let a creature with additional limbs maintain a grapple with just the limb that made the attack. These feats lead me to think that without them it would take all of a critters attention. I can only make my characters choices based on the information given in the books, so its shame on me for trying to think in a ROLL playing game, and you have my apologies. I will stop trying to do anything clever and be a good little damage dealer without a brain from now on. As far as the metagaming goes, anyone who does have options in an RPG and doesn't take into account their chance of success isnt using tactics, their playing shoots and ladders. I had been thinking about just attacking it, but tried to help the rest of the party hit it too by tripping it, which is all I meant by my comment in the previous post.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
