I was checking out the Owlbear in the bestiary last night. The stat block indicates that he has "2 Claws" for some amount of damage (I forget what it was exactly, no book in front of me at the moment), let's say 1d8+4.
Now, depending on your interpretation, that could mean "one attack (using 2 claws) for 1d8+4 on a succesful hit...or, it could mean two attacks (using one claw per attack) for 1d8+4 per succesful hit.
It also has a bite attack....can it bite if the claw attack(s) fail? Or, can it only bite when a claw attack succeds and then succesfully grabs?
If it does grab, can it grapple with a single claw? Or, does it use both claws?
If it grapples using only one claw, can it attack again with the second claw? What are the mechanics for that attack?
So many questions.....

Two attacks at d8+4 each

Bite as well as claws, three attacks
If it does grab, can it grapple with a single claw? Or, does it use both claws?
Grab (Ex) 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 works only against opponents at least one size category smaller than the creature. 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.
If it grapples using only one claw, can it attack again with the second claw? What are the mechanics for that attack?
See above.
