Do you need to make a grapple check to tie up someone who is pinned?
Background - bar room brawl - no one has armour or weapons.
2 party members onto the BBNG.
Round 1 - partner successfully grapples our opponent. I move in and join the grapple (aid another)
BBNG tries to break free - and fails
Round 2 - partner is on a roll and converts grapple into a pin - excellent!
My action - I want to tie our opponent up.
The following is an action if your opponent is grappled.
Tie Up: If you have your target pinned, otherwise restrained, or unconscious, you can use rope to tie him up. If you are grappling the target, you can attempt to tie him up in ropes, but doing so requires a combat maneuver check at a –10 penalty. If the DC to escape from these bindings is higher than 20 + the target's CMB, the target cannot escape from the bonds, even with a natural 20 on the check.
The question is do I as an additional character have to make a grapple check and if so with what modifiers?
