The Grab special ability doesn't inflict the grappled condition on the creature using Grab if they take a -20.

"If a creature with this special attack hits with the indicated attack (usually a claw or bite attack), it deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. Unless otherwise noted, grab can only be used against targets of a size equal to or smaller than the creature with this ability. If the creature can use grab on creatures of other sizes, it is noted in the creature's Special Attacks line. The creature has the option to conduct the grapple normally, or simply use the part of its body it used in the grab to hold the opponent. If it chooses to do the latter, it takes a –20 penalty on its CMB check to make and maintain the grapple, but does not gain the grappled condition itself. A successful hold does not deal any extra damage unless the creature also has the constrict special attack. If the creature does not constrict, each successful grapple check it makes during successive rounds automatically deals the damage indicated for the attack that established the hold. Otherwise, it deals constriction damage as well (the amount is given in the creature’s descriptive text).

Creatures with the grab special attack receive a +4 bonus on combat maneuver checks made to start and maintain a grapple."

I absolutely do not think that stealth should work for melee. If you are fighting someone, you aren't going to suddenly lose them. Sneak Attacks are attacks made at the soft spots on a target that are vulnerable when the target isn't aware of your presence, or is distracted such that you can sneak up an get them in their squishy places. That's why it is feint that grants you your sneak attack damage: you're drawing your foe in one direction, and stabbing them quickly in the openings in their armor in response.

Furthermore, losing your dexterity bonus to your armor class is like saying that you weren't able to move out of the way of the attack. If you can't see it, it might miss, but you certainly are not going to move out of the way consciously. Thus, no dex bonus to AC. If, however, you even know the direction a projectile could be coming from, you can at least try to move out of the way.

Oh, Forseti, by its very nature, sniping is really a one-shot deal. You sit in one place for ages waiting for your shot, you take it, you get out. Targets aren't meant to survive a sniping.


Hey guys and gals! I live in Asheville, and I was wondering where and when you meet. Would someone be willing to provide me with this information?
