First the Grappled Condition:
Under the heading “If you are grappled” it says: “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.” See the grappled condition for additional details.
The grapple condition says “In addition, grappled creatures can take no action that requires two hands to perform.”
Now lets say it’s a Tiger that is grappled. A tiger normally gets 2 claws and a bite. I interpret this as meaning the tiger can use one claw and his bite while grappled (one claw in inoperable but everything else works).
How about a Dragon? A dragon gets 2 claws, a bite, 2 wings, and a tail slap. Again, I interpret this as meaning the Dragon can use one claw, a bite, 2 wings, and a tail slap while grappled (one claw in inoperable but everything else works).
Now the Pinned Condition:
A pinned creature is tightly bound and can take few actions. … A pinned creature is limited in the actions that it can take.
1) A pinned creature can always attempt to free itself, usually through a combat maneuver check or Escape Artist check.
2) A pinned creature can take verbal and mental actions, but cannot cast any spells that require a somatic or material component.
No other actions are mentioned.
Now lets say it’s a Tiger that is pinned. A tiger normally gets 2 claws and a bite. I interpret this as meaning the tiger gets NO attacks while pinned.
How about a Dragon? A dragon normally gets 2 claws, a bite, 2 wings, and a tail slap. Again, I interpret this as meaning the Dragon gets NO attacks while pinned.
How about the breathe weapon? Is a breathe weapon attack a “verbal” attack? Maybe not, I can see that the grappler could be holding the snout shut just like alligator wrestlers do.
