Message: <blockquote data-quote="PnPgamer" data-source="post: 6733957" data-attributes="member: 6786484">- No, only initiation of grapple requires an attack to be changed into a grapple attempt. The subject of the grapple however, can still use its action to do anything normally except move, and his movement is just dropped to 0. Subject can also attempt to escape from grapple.- by hold x you mean grapple a foe? yes he can cast spells and attack with his other hand, or even grapple a new target.- grappled subject can only attempt escape as an action. He doesn't get additional tries by how many attacks he has.- No, being prone grants disadvantage on attack rolls. Escaping or initiating a grapple is an ability check, namely Strength(athletics) (for initiation and escape) or Dexterity(acrobatics) (escape only)- Grapple is only there to answer if holding someone and preventing his movement. grab the PC's weapon arm is a DM call.- Shield AC bonus should still apply even if bashing with a shield. This has created much controversy however, and some DM's are stuck on previous edition rules and want to say no.I just basicly confirmed what has been answered already.</blockquote>
