I'm playing around with the idea of a Fox Shape Kitsune focused on grappling, and have some questions regarding the logistics of a Tiny Grappler:
1) Would Close the Gap prevent the AoO from a Tiny Creature moving into a foe's space? Assuming that the GM rules that "adjacent" includes the space the foe occupies as per the melee attack rules, of course.
Close the Gap (Ex): Each round, at the start of his turn, the vigilante can designate one foe within 20 feet that isn’t adjacent to him. When he moves, he doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity from that foe as long as he ends his move adjacent to that foe. If he charges that foe, he does not take the –2 penalty to his AC on any attacks made by the designated foe.
2) Can a Tiny creature maintain a grapple against creatures in adjacent squares that it does not currently occupy? I'm not seeing anywhere in the Grappling Rules that technically requires the Grapplee to be within the Grappler's reach to maintain the grapple.
3) If a Tiny creature takes a move action with a Grapple check, can the grappled foe be placed in the same square as the Tiny creature at the end of the move?
4) Say I have Kraken Style, Pinning Knockout, Piranha Strike, an Agile Amulet of Mighty Fists, and 2 levels in Strangler. How much damage would a pinned foe take if I chose to deal non-lethal Bite (1d3) damage?
