Snatch and Vital Strike?


Rules Questions


Hey, just curious if using Greater Vital Strike on a Huge Dragon's bite attack could still qualify for the Snatch feat? I can't find a problem, but the combo seems so cool that when my players call shenanigans I can hold firm that it's "By the book!"

-thanks in advance guys. =)

I don't see why not.

Snatch: "The creature can start a grapple when it hits with a claw or bite attack, as though it had the grab ability."

Grab (Ex): "If a creature with this special attack hits with the indicated attack (usually a claw or bite attack)...

Nothing to indicate it doesn't work with the attack action.

If they complain about 8d8+Str with a grapple, give them the option of a full attack: 2d8, 2d6, 2d6, 1d8, 1d8, 2d6, and 2d8, each plus strength with 3 grapples.
