[QUOTE="d20Dwarf, post: 909151, member: 314"] Hello esteemed d20 experts! Suppose a xill (not that there's one in any upcoming adventures, or anything ;) ) was grappling a character with one arm. The next round it wants to bite but must maintain the grapple first (if I'm even reading it right, the xill is a poorly written monster IMO). Can it "join" the grapple with its other three claws? This wouldn't make a difference except the xill specifically gets a +2 bonus to its grapple checks for each claw. Also, can a multi-armed creature grapple with one arm and strike opponents with the other 3? I think so, but I've gotten myself all confused. :) If a 4-armed xill used all 4 claws to grapple, would it deal double claw damage when grappling? 2 armed creatures deal their unarmed damage, so does a 4 armed creature deal twice that? Seems only fair, really. :) Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
