The exception is that you can take a -20 to the grapple check to grapple with a specific part of your body only, and not be considered 'grappled' (MM 9), in which case you can use a specific body part to grapple.1a) Rend is a special ability specific to normal unarmed attacks... good question. As a pure DM call I think I'd allow it, by the rules I don't think you could, even if the troll used it's claws as light weapons in the grapple, you can't use two weapon fighting in a grapple.2) You specificaly can't use two weapons, or even more than one set of limbs (one to hold you, one to beat you) in a grapple per the FAQ. Added weapons don't help.3) BAB isn't hard to get. All mosters have BAB dependent on HD and class, you can find these in the front of the MM (MM 13). reverse engennering it usualy involves a simple procedure of taking the highest attack bonus, subtract the str bonus (or dex, if they have weapon finnese or use ranged weapons) and size modifier and any relevent feats (like weapon focus). Remember that there's a special size modifier to grapple checks (one that increases as you get bigger, rather than decreasing. Most likely you've been selling your big monsters short for their grapple checks).</blockquote>
