How do I run a creature that has multiple attacks that can grab an opponent and then constrict? Can the creature only grab and constrict one opponent at a time? What are the rules for slamming multiple opponents then grabbing/constricting them? Can you grab/constict one opponent with all attacks? What are the penalties/rules?
Thanks!!!
(Liebdagas cage as an example)
Technically, the creature can attack, grab, constrict (as one attack), and then let go (as a free action). There's nothing in RAW (that I could find) to prevent a monster from doing this multiple times. Actually, I can see this as a favored tactic for a Kraken.
Edit: For clarification.

If the creature has grab then it either chooses to conduct the grapple normally or it can choose to take a -20 penalty and not be considered grappled. To grab and constrict more than one creature with multiple attacks it'll have to take that -20, unless it has a special ability that supercedes that like the Kraken's Tenacious Grappler or the Giant Flytraps Engulf.
I think that you could use every attack on a single creature, but you should only grapple them and constrict them once per round. Really it's overkill to follow knightofstyx's suggestion. Big grappling monsters are built to handle entire parties at CR appropriate levels.
