[QUOTE="drunkmoogle, post: 1720669, member: 18336"] Er... thing with the names is that I tend to think clearer with names as opposed to letters. 1) If Bob chose to trip Chris – and was successful – what would be the result? Chris would be prone, having no effect on the grapple. He would suffer the standard penalties for being prone. 2) If Bob chose to bull rush Chris – and was successful – what would be the result? Would Alice automatically be moved with Chris? Would Chris get the chance to make a grapple check as if he were trying to move Alice? There's nothing that suggests a successful bull rush moves more than one creature, so Chris would be pushed back. If this movement causes Chris to move in such a way so that Alice does not occupy one of his squares, then the grapple is broken, much like the grapple would be broken if Bob Teleported Alice away from Chris. The third option would be a viable house rule, but moving in a grapple is considered an Action, so you can only take that on your turn. 3) Can Bob use the aid another action, with the +2 bonus to Alice’s next attack roll being applied to his next grapple check? Not by the RAW, but the rules do say this: I believe most games would allow it. [/QUOTE]
