I was not able to find the answer; maybe I was just a noob sorry for that.
Character has:
Vital Strike
Grab (Ex) (Unarmed strike)
Unarmed damage 2d8 +5 str
Improved Grapple
Greater Grapple
First round:
Standard action: Successful hit with vital strike active.
Damage 4d8 +5
Free Action: Successful Grab check
Both gained Grappled condition.
Move Action: Maintain Grapple: Success -> Automatic Grab damage 4d8 +5
Free: Damage : 2d8+5
From the rules of Grab:
"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)."
Did I miss something? Seems with a good Vital strike this is better than constrict after the first round, if you want to maintain the grapple, and you can improve it with power attack and so on.
(if you can attack many times: hit, grab, constrict, release is more powerful ofc)
Thank you.
