[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 3757874, member: 23094"] Up to 4. +31 / +26 / +21 / +16. No, it cannot. If it wishes to attack its opponent with a claw attack, it must choose the "Attack Your Opponent" grapple option, which limits it to a single light weapon. Furthermore, you cannot gain iterative attacks with a natural weapon, so if it decided to attack with a claw, it could only attack once. Yes (again, so long as it selects the "Attack Your Opponent" grapple action and not the "Damage Your Opponent" grapple action. Haste specifically grants "When making a full attack action, a hasted creature may make one extra attack with any weapon he is holding." Technically, a grapple is not a weapon you hold (nor, for that matter, is a claw). I've pretty much always allowed it to work, however. Bless provides a morale bonus on attack rolls, and therefore does not apply to things which are like attack rolls. So, no. :) Depends on whether or not it has Improved Grab, but the general case is that yes, it does. You must be threatened in order to provoke an AoO. If no one threatens you (even if the action you are about to perform involves the other creature's space, like grapple or sunder) then you provoke no AoOs. Yes; it always does unarmed damage based on its size - unless it has an ability which states otherwise (like Improved Grab or Constrict). A creature with Improved Grab may pull the target into its square. Yes, against anyone not involved in the grapple, unless it elects to take a -20 penalty on all grapple checks. It also ceases to threaten an area. Trick question. When makin a ranged attack into a grapple, you are to "determine randomly" which target is hit. The exact method for that determination is left out of the rules, but most people either do a straight percentage chance (3 targets = 33% chance of each) or a chance based on size (1 Large + 2 Medium = 50% for the Large, 25% for each Medium). ... especially if one of them writes the Rules of the Game [grumble, grumble, grumble]. :D I did not look at the book at all. I consulted the SRD for the exact quote on the Haste spell rather than paraphrasing. :) [/QUOTE]
