Snapping Turtle Clutch & Grapples


Rules Questions


Not really sure on this one. Snapping Turtle Clutch states that if your opponent swings with a melee attack & misses, you may as an immediate action initiate a grapple at a -2.

The question I have is does this immediate action grapple cause the opponent to get an attack of opportunity? I'm still new to the combat maneuvers but it seems like if he already swung & missed you once, he wouldnt get it.

Trying to figure this out to see if I gotta take Improved Grapple before getting the clutch or not.


It does not say that you do not provoke for it, so yes, you do provoke. However normally you need to have improved grapple to take it anyways.


Yes. You would need improved grapple to prevent the provoke.

I guess a MoMS monk could get the feat without Imp Grapple but hard to do without it.
