[QUOTE="the_bruiser, post: 1902666, member: 6126"] Hello all. One of my players is a monk with the improved grapple chain. I'm not sure exactly how good he is at it. It seems like sometime in the past I saw someone (Hypersmurf?) on these boards point to rules that say that grappling in many ways is not the 'same' as unarmed attacks; any help would be appreciated. [list=1] [*]Does weapon focus: unarmed help with grapple checks? Seems like I'm pretty sure that someone pointed out that they do not, but I can't remember why. [*]Do they get to flurry with grappling? I.e., should he be +20/+20/+20/+15/+10, or just +20/+15/+10? [*]Does he get his monk unarmed damage with these attacks? I.e., is he 2d8+4 or d3+4? If the latter (d3), does the 'one size bigger' part of improved grapple up his damage die, or just give him the +4 to hit? [*]He has an amulet of mighty fists +2. Does this help with grappling? (I suspect not?) [*]Any other items I'm forgetting about? [/list] Thanks everyone. [edit - subscribed to thread] [/QUOTE]
