So I grappled an orc, and suddenly someone...


Rules Questions

Silver Crusade

... tried to hit me, only to fail miserably. It's an orc too.
Thanks to my Snapping Turtle feat chain and Brutal Pugilist archetype, I get to easily grapple the hell out of the orc as an immediate action.

Wait, does it mean you can grapple several creatures at the same time ?
Can I just grapple two orcs on the same round and pin them on the next thanks to Greater Grapple ? Is there even a limit on the number of creatures I can grapple if I have enough class features allowing me to do so (even if keeping the grapple will prove impossible in the next round) ?

Does my party love me for this ?
Am I awesome ? AM I AWESOME ? AM BARBARIAN ?


Depends on what you need limb-wise to Grapple. IIRC, the book says you cannot perform actions that require two hands, but I'm not positive it actually says you're dedicating a limb to the grapple.

Logically, I would assume that you would need one limb per opponent, which would mean that your second grapple attempt would be at a -4 (for not having two hands free to establish a grapple).

Anyway, yeah, I could see a specialist grappling three opponents a round with this -- two Move actions from Greater Grapple, and a third grapple as an Immediate action when an opponent misses you. Granted, I seem to recall that the new Monk archetype has something like a Whirlwind Maneuver that could probably grapple as many creatures as he could reach and place in adjacent squares if there is no limb requirement.
