Reefclaw - tenacious grapple


Curse of the Crimson Throne

Dark Archive

In the reefclaw's bestiary/monster stat block entry it has a special attack of tenacious grapple, but there is no description of that special attack. I'm assuming it gives some sort of bonus on grapple checks since the reefclaw is a small creature with 10 STR, but has +5 grapple check with only +1 base attack. Can we possibly get a write-up on this description so we can apply it to an advanced reefclaw of larger size?

The tenacious grapple ability sort of got rolled into the monster's improved grab section; it appears at the very end of the reefclaw's improved grab section.

Tenacious grapple basically gives the reefclaw a +8 racial bonus on grapple checks. It's also the ability that gives the reefclaw the ability to use improved grab on a target of any size.
