[QUOTE="Izerath, post: 1777154, member: 6743"] [b]Wait a second - is that a lightbulb?[/b] Hyp. All the aforementioned points are understood. The clarification was unnecessary, but appreciated none-the-less. My hangup was on the Attack your Opponent option. After reading your last post, I think I caught something. When you mentioned Damage your opponent, it made me look at the differences between the two options, and then the perverbial lightbulb came on..... Under Attack your opponent, it says "You can make [b]AN[/b] attack with an unarmed strike, natural weapon or light weapon against another character you are grappling......" If this means that even the fighter with the +20 BAB can only get ONE attack with the same limitations (unarmed, natural or light), then things ARE square. They may not be logical, but at least they are fair. However, if it does not, and it is considered an "attack action" under the grappling lingo, then the "Attack Your Opponent" rule is flawed. If this is correct, then I wish they would use ONE instead of AN and then also clarify if "Attack your Opponent" is an attack action, standard action of full-round action for each option. This reading between the lines is a load of crap. What a waste of time. [/QUOTE]
