Grab on an AOO


Rules Questions


Just had a question I was hoping someone on these fine forums could help me out with. If my enemy provokes an attack of opportunity and I end up hitting him, if I have the Grab ability on my attack would I get that free action grapple attempt also on top of the regular damage? As always appreciate everyone's time and help.

Yes.

Free Actions: Can you take free actions during an attack of opportunity? For instance, can you use the Grab, Trip, Pull, or Push universal monster rules after hitting with an attack of opportunity, since they require free actions and free actions can’t be used off-turn? What about Rock Catching? That seems like it could only work off-turn.

While you can’t take most free actions off your turn, Grab, Trip, Pull, Push, and Rock Catching’s free actions can all be used off-turn.


I didnt know about this FAQ.
