[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 4046945, member: 2209"] Ambiguous. With the -20 IG it is clear the Owlbear can use its other attacks against other opponents but unclear whether it can do so only against other opponents. If it does not use the -20 it is clear it cannot attack other opponents but ambiguous on whether it can continue with its full attack as full attacking with natural weapons is not on the list of actions that can be done in a grapple though iteratives do explicitly provide extra attacks and you can use a natural weapon in place of an attack.
