Consider the Grab (Ex) Evolution:

Grab (Ex): An eidolon becomes adept at grappling foes, gaining the grab ability. Pick bite, claw, slam, tail slap, or tentacle attacks. Whenever...

Grab lists the attacks allowed - yet, there is a discrepancy when reading Pincers:

Eidolons with the grab evolution linked to pincers gain a +2 bonus on CMB checks made to grapple.

So perhaps the Pincers were left out of the Grab by mistake?

Also, one has to wonder if Pincers really give an extra +2 to CMB to grapple, or if this was a left over from earlier editions??

Although I understand grabbing with Bite/Claws or Tentacles, I find it weird that you can actually grab with a Tail Slap or Slam (which seems to be lacking in 'latching' power.. ?!!).. Is this an Errata?

Was this covered elsewhere, deep in the bowels of these forums!?

If so, Thanks for sharing the Link/Info!!

I've scoured through the book and found little to clarify this. Maybe someone knows something more?

I had an identical post asking this same questions almost a month ago (maybe more) and no one ever answered the question.
