Not sure how this works and would like some clarification if I'm doing this how it's intended:
If you are the grappler (not the one being grappled), to damage your opponent with a light weapon while you are grappled, do you need to:
1) make a grapple check at a -4 penalty for not having two hands free (but with the +5 bonus to the check in a subsequent round) to continue the grapple
2) make an attack roll at -2 for having the grappled condition (as per p.567)
OR
The successful grapple check (with a +5 bonus for being a subsequent round and -4 for not having two hands free) automatically allows you to deal damage with the light weapon?
The successful grapple check (with a +5 bonus for being a subsequent round and -4 for not having two hands free) automatically allows you to deal damage with the light weapon?
This is assuming you have already drawn the weapon, of course. So you're grappling with 1 hand at this point. You make your grapple check to maintain the grapple (+5 for previous success and -4 for not having 2 hands to grapple). Then, with your successful grapple check, you have a few options to choose from, one of which is to damage the opponent with the weapon you have in your one hand.
The successful grapple check (with a +5 bonus for being a subsequent round and -4 for not having two hands free) automatically allows you to deal damage with the light weapon?
This one (although a one-handed weapon would work, too). But note that some light/one-handed weapons might leave your hands free (like a spiked gauntlet).
Thanks for the replies. Just wanted to be sure :)
