Does Vital Strike work with the Grab special ability?

[HighTechnocrat]

Suppose a hypothetical creature has both the Grab special ability and the Vital Strike feat. If the creature uses its attack with the Grab special ability (such as a bite) with Vital Strike, does Grab still apply?

Assuming Grab still applies if you use Vital Strike (and I see no reason why it would not), how much damage does the creature do when maintaining the grapple? From the Grab rules:

If the creature does not constrict, each successful grapple check it makes during successive rounds automatically deals the damage indicated for the attack that established the hold.

Does this mean that my hypothetical creature could initiate a grapple with Vital Strike/Grab, then continue to deal Vital Strike damage?

It would get the Vital Strike damage on the attack made via the standard action. You would still get the grab attempt as normal, but any constriction damage would not be affected by the Vital Strike on the original attack.

EDIT:It would also not affect damage in subsequent rounds when you used your action to maintain a grapple (if you so chose to).
