I have run dragons before without trouble, but now the party has a rather good grappler (bear totem barbarian) who will probably try to grapple the dragon.So I need to know how a dragon grapples.From reading the Rules Compendium (the most recent grapple rules, right?) here's what I get:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ozzy gets 3 grapple checks per round (+14/+9/+4) because its BAB is +11 and its strength is 17.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">With each check it can try to beat the barb's grapple check in order to "deal nonlethal damage as normal for your unarmed strike" ... is that just d3+3 nonlethal for being medium?</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Or it can attack the barbarian at -4 using a natural weapon. ... But can it only attack once per round? Or only use the same natural weapon multiple times in a round? And does it use its grapple check or normal attack modifiers for these attacks?</li> </ul>I know the dragon has several more options, but I think I understand those. So my questions are:- How much damage can the dragon inflict using grapple checks?- Precisely how does its attacks with natural weapons work?RC fluff on grappling: "For monsters, grappling can mean trapping you in a toothy maw or holding you down to claw you to pieces."</blockquote>
