[QUOTE="MichaelH, post: 2780826, member: 14843"] A couple of comments. You cannot attack with two weapons while grappling (PHB 156), so you cannot attack with your primary hand and your off hand at -6/-10 in a grapple. On your turn you get to make as many grapple checks as you have BAB. Thus a 6th level fighter could make two grapple checks on his turn at +6/+1 plus his other relevant bonuses. Your two fighters can make one grapple check per round. They can make any number of opposed grapple checks when defending against a grapple on their opponent's turn. As a side note, even if you could fight with two weapons in a grapple, an unarmed strike is a light weapon, so the penalties for two weapon fighting drop 2 each, to -4/-8 (PHB 160). Pinned opponents are not prone. And they can act on their turn after being pinned, but they are very limited in what they can do. Escaping the pin might be a good idea. Also, pinned opponents are not helpless so their dexterity is not considered to be 0. The pinned opponent suffers a -4 to AC due to being pinned plus he is denied his dex bonus to AC because he is grappling, but that's it. He should beware of enemy rogues in this condition. Hope that helps you. :cool: [/QUOTE]
