Improved Grapple?

[Ogrork the Mighty]

Does this feat apply to grapple checks only, or does it also include the originating melee touch attack (to start a grapple) as well?

 

[Altamont Ravenard]

No. The touch attack is not a grapple check. It's a touch attack.

[Legildur]

You'd need Weapon Focus (grapple) to boost the touch attack.
