[QUOTE="Gizzard, post: 316036, member: 527"] Does this monster have "Improved Grab" (as described in the rules section of the MM)? From your description, I am assuming so. Anyway, if so, then he can Grapple one guy by using the standard Grapple sequence (do yourself a favor and flowchart this out on a piece of paper if you arent already familiar with these somewhat convoluted rules); then in subsequent rounds he can Grapple additional opponents by giving up -20 on all of his Grapple opposed rolls. You can also do things like move around, which arent allowed in a standard Grapple, if you have Improved Grab. Its supposed to be used for big grabby monsters with tentacles like Otyughs. Basically, they are very grabby if they concentrate on one person, but they have a hard time holding down 3 people at a time because of the -20. So you dont have to worry as much about the +15 as it seems. Check out Gamestoppers #2 on the wizards site for an example this type of combat. [/QUOTE]
