While being grappled...can you still make a full attack with a light or one handed weapon (provided that you have the BAB to do 2 or more attacks)? I know in 3.5 you were able to, but looking at the Pathfinder rules it only says "an attack" and I can not find anywhere where it says full/multiple attacks..
Maybe I am just not finding the right page. Any help would be great.
Thanks

The general consensus is that no, you cannot take a full-attack action while grappling.

If you are the one being grappled you can make a full round attack
"you can take any action that requires only one hand to perform""such as cast a spell or make an attack with a light or one-handed weapon against any creature within your reach, including the creature that is grappling you."
The second part are examples, otherwise you couldn't use a wand and many other actions that can be done using one hand.
HOWEVER the grappler can't attack, instead he automatically deals the damage of one attack, ignoring the grappled foe AC, if he chooses so. Usually it is better to pin most foes first, grapple isn't here to kill people but to deal with some foes and situations (like people with big weapons and some spellcasters).

that is where my hang up when i read it in the Pathfinder Rulebook, since the 3.5 rules actually said "full and multiple" and Pathfinder just says "an"
thanks for the link
no problem, same thing bugged me until I found that FAQ.
