Dirty trick while grappled

[Atalius]

What happens if a Ninja tries using Redirect Force against an anaconda that attacks him and grabs him, would the ninja still be able to get off his Dirty Trick and Redirect Force bonus? Or is the Ninja shutdown the moment he is grappled?

Do you have a way to perform combat maneuvers while grappled?

[Atalius]

Don't believe so, if its a specific feat then no. Can combat maneuvers not be made when grappled?

You take a -2 to the dirty trick roll, and of course you remain grappled. It should work otherwise.

A grappled creature takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and combat maneuver checks, except those made to grapple or escape a grapple.

Perfect thank you! Ya I couldn't find anything in the rules restricting a standard action while grappled.

In most cases your Grappler has the Grappled Condition, too, and so has a -4 to his Dex, and therefore to his CMD. Your -2 to hit is usually a wash.

It looks like the only limitation you have is that you can't do anything that requires two hands while grappled.
