[QUOTE="Pinotage, post: 1758615, member: 15194"] I have a few questions on grappling, or rather several statements that I'd like clarification on: 1) A high level fighter with four attacks attempts to grapple an opponent. The first attack succeeds and the fighter manages to get a hold. Since the fighter is now grappling, the other three attacks can't take place and are wasted. Similarly, if a giant octopus grabs hold of a person on its third attack of eight and grapples with its whole body, the remainder of its attacks do not take place that round. Correct? 2) If an octopus is grappling an opponent with its whole body, is it grappling with all eight tentacles? Or only the one that initially succeeded at the grapple? If grappling, can it attempt to grapple the same opponent with the other seven tentacles as well, or do they just flail about when the octopus is grappling? Basically, is there any use to those other tentacles if the octopus is grappling with its whole body? Can there be a scenario where an octopus can grapple the same opponent with four tentacles and cause four times the constrict damage? I think that covers it for now. Thanks! Pinotage [/QUOTE]
