Message: <blockquote data-quote="Venator" data-source="post: 3199345" data-attributes="member: 44617">The following scenario has come up more than a few times recently and our group is looking for some clarifications:A monster with multiple attacks coming from (presumably) different arms, pseudopods, or whatever is currently grappling one PC.1) Can he begin to grapple another target if he successfully attacks them?  How about a third, forth, fifth, ect.?2) If so, what modifications to his various rolls would the monster take (attack roll and both new and existing grapple checks)?3) If not, why not?4) How would all of the above change if the monster had the Improved Grab feat?Basically, we are having a hard time trying to decide what the bold part of the following means, and how it applies to creatures with and without the feat:Is this saying that if a monster with the feat chooses to simply hold a target (and take a -20 to all grapple checks including the current one) it can attack normally, and start other grabs normally?  What if it chooses to conduct the grapple normally and not take the -20?  Can it grab or even attack anyone else?  I would love it if you could link to, or post the page numbers of anything conclusive.If it helps, the monsters in question were Mimics (2 pseudopods) and a Giant Octopus (8 arms).</blockquote>
