[QUOTE="Tyrol, post: 1662154, member: 18213"] I went scanning around, looking for any precedence for making more than one grapple successful grapple attempt per round, or other feats/abilities pertaining to grappling. Improved Grab (from SRD) - Can use one part of body (on successful attack) to grapple and hold a smaller opponent with just that part of the body, hereby allowing the creature itself to not be considered grappled, and using its remaining attacks to grapple additional opponents. It is unclear if the attacker could make their successive attacks with the specific body part performing the hold. See bold and italic emphasis. Swallow Whole (from SRD) Snatch Feat (from SRD) - Believe on successful attacks, you can grapple someone, drop them as a free action, grapple someone on next attack, drop as free action, etc. to perform multiple grapples a round, though ultimately end up with only 1 enemy grappled. If the improved grab special attack allows successive attacks with the body part holding the enemy, this might allow snatches of more than 1 creature at a time (2 successful attacks with same natural weapon on different enemies). Big 'Object' vs little creature Multiple target grapple attempts! Grapple, swallow, cleave, grapple. Big flying creature crushes smaller creatures and can pin/grapple all beneath. Gelatinous Cube (SRD) can engulf (considered grappled once engulfed) as many large or smaller enemies it can move over in a round :) Tendriculos (SRD) gives a good example of improved grab, combined with a nifty free action to transfer it to mouth with auto-damage. Potentially grapple many smaller foes at once. Also, for advancing improved grab, in Savage Species there are these two feats: Even if successive attacks with the holding body part don't work, you can grapple with as many different parts as you can attack with. Bite, claw, claw, tail, etc. Maybe something I mentioned is what you are looking for :) Enjoy. Tyrol [/QUOTE]
