About white haired witch and grapple.


Rules Questions


Q1. Can i Make Grapple CM with my Hairs (natural attack)? If i can will i use my strenght or my Intelligence modifiers? Did i strike enemy with my hair natural attack? Can i grab my enemy after this and make pin CM, because enemy already was grappled?
Q2. I can grapple enemy with my hands and make damage with equivalent to my unarmed strike, a natural attack, spikes or light weapon or one handed weapon. If i will make damage equivalent to my hairs damage (natural attack) does it mean "In addition, whenever the hair strikes a foe, the witch can attempt to grapple" ?
Q3. If i grabbed my enemy and i dont have grappled condition on myself, does it means i can make attack of opportunity at the same time? Will my enemy stay in grapple at the same time? Can i grab more then one enemys at the same time?
Q4. "If you successfully grapple a creature that is not adjacent to you, move that creature to an adjacent open space (if no space is available, your grapple fails)." If i have reach on my hairs. Can i after successfull grab/grapple check go from grappled enemy on my rich? Will i move grappled creature to an adjacent open space after "If you do not release the grapple, you must continue to make a check each round, as a standard action, to maintain the hold"
Q5. Do i have Grab special attack? Can i grapple enemys as standard action with out attack of opportunity?


1. You can. You'd use Int in place of Str. If you strike you get a free grapple check. If you just go fro the grapple by itself, it'd work like a normal grapple, but I'd say that it uses int as it does with the grab ability the hair gets. I believe you'd need greater grapple for that. Normally without GG you can only do one grapple maneuver per turn.

2. If you want the damage from the hair, the hair has to be grappling. If you want damage from armor spikes and the like, you have to be grappling with your hands. This is based on the fact that the hair extends outward to grapple. As well, you do not gain the grappled condition and I believe you don't also pull enemies adjacent as a result.

3.No, becoming grappled doesn't invoke an AoO. However, if they try to break the grapple, I believe they would invoke so long as they don't have improved grapple themselves. You can attack an enemy grappled by your hair freely though. I don't believe you can grapple multiple enemies at a given time without a separate ability.

4. I'd say that due to your not gaining the grappled condition, the enemy would not be moved adjacent to you. This is a weird case. Your hair is what's grappling the enemy, not you, and your hair gains the grappled condition, but due to it's reach I'd say it already counts as adjacent to the enemy. This would ultimately come down to your GM's interpretation.

5.You don't have grab but it functions exactly like grab. This one's another head scratcher because by FAQ it sounds like you do have grab, but at the same time this distinction is never made clear. As for invoking. I say you likely would, the idea of attacking and getting the grapple for free is due to you beating their AC in order to land the hit which allows the grapple. It doesn't seem like it's intended to give you improve grapple for free. That being said if you're playing WHW you'll want improved and greater grapple anyways as those are very beneficial to the grapple checks made when you hit with your hair.
