am i getting this right?
the feat allow 2 things:
1:
free pin attempt after grapple - meaning in round #1 you move, grapple and pin in the same round? (with -5)
2:
suffocate.
it seem great for my grappling druid.

If you succeed, you have pinned your opponent and hold the opponent in a chokehold. When you maintain the grapple, you also maintain the chokehold. A creature in a chokehold cannot breathe or speak, and thus cannot cast spells that have a verbal component. An opponent you have in a chokehold has to hold his breath or begin suffocating. Any creature that does not breathe, is immune to bleed damage, or is immune to critical hits is immune to the effects of your chokehold. When the grapple is ended, so is the chokehold.

It allows you a different action when you make a grapple check. The check itself requires an action of some kind, usually, I believe, a standard action. It simply allows you to force the opponent to hold their breath while you grapple them, nothing more.

Combat is over by then.
