The old grab and constrict question again


Rules Questions


1 person marked this as FAQ candidate. 1 person marked this as a favorite.

I have looked at numerous threads and maybe I missed this so I am going to ask this again. I have a monster who has the grab and constrict abilities. He can do this with each of his three tail lash attacks. Now am I correct in assuming I can do the following on a full attack:

1. Hit with tail #1, use grab, deal constrict damage, release with a free action.

2.Repeat with tail #2.

3.Repeat with tail #3.

To me it seems obvious I should be able to do this since grab allows you to start a grapple as a free action and you can release a grapple as a free action, but everyone knows how much this ruling it up for debate.

The grand finale of Second Darkness today so I need an answer quick please :)


Yes, you can do that.


You can do that, and you don't even have to release right away (you can wait until your next turn before deciding to not continue the grapple).


Thanks all.
