Dragon Style + Maintaining a Grapple

[Benrislove]

If you maintain a grapple to do damage equal to your unarmed strike, do you do 1.5x strength damage because of dragon style?

I think it works, because CMB checks are attacks, and it's damage resulting from an attack, but I wanted to double check :D

[Lumiere Dawnbringer]

A CMB check is an attack in the sense that it is hostile

But CMB targets CMD, which is usually harder to hit with an attack. i'd allow it because it is a type of attack. even if the system wouldn't consider it such.

[Barry Armstrong]

A combat maneuver is indeed an attack. I'd allow it. Think of it as a Thai clinch (the grapple) followed up by a flying knee (UAS).

Those hurt MUCH more than just a normal knee to the face.
