How to handle burn plus constrict

[darrenan]

The Magma Ooze from Bestiary 2 has the following:

Melee slam +14 (2d6+13 plus burn and grab)
Space 10 ft.; Reach 5 ft.
Special Attacks burn (2d6, DC 19), constrict (2d6+13 plus burn)

Does it deal its burn damage twice if everything hits (slam+grapple+constrict) ?

I guess it does. I never noticed that. Now I want to use one. :)

Ooo, more fun for my ooze druid.

When a creature with constrict grapples a foe, when does it deal constrict damage?

A creature with constrict deals this additional damage every time it makes a successful grapple check against a foe. This includes the first check to establish the grapple (such as when using the grab universal monster rule).

The burn attack says it applies on every successful attack, no limits to number/round so:

Yes, in round one you
attack (success) -> burn + free grapple (success) -> constrict + burn from the constrict

and then on consecutive turns a successful hold would grant you free slam + burn damage from the grab rules, free constrict + burn from the constrict rules, and then you could choose to deal damage for a second slam + burn. With Greater grapple it could do that combo twice per turn. And you could always give it rapid grappler for some real fun.
