Grappling more than two foes

[Yonman]

I was under the impression you cannot grapple more than one opponent at the same time.

But the Grabbing Drag Style and Grabbing Master Style style Feats imply that you can.

Comments?

There's no such rule. You don't even need grabbing style to do it, you'd just take a -4 to try it.

Without greater grapple you would have to release one of them and only maintain one grapple, but as long as you have greater grapple you're good to go.

Then with grabbing master you get to damage them both... twice. Once with your standard action to maintain against enemy A, and again with your move action to maintain again enemy B. Excellent action economy.

Also, just before Grabbing Master, Grabbing Drag states you cannot use this feat if you are grappling two targets. So yeah you absolutely can.

Next grab Chokehold and go full Undertaker on them.

EDIT: And before we start talking about how "unfair" this would be, let's look at the feat tax: Improved unarmed strike, improved grapple, greater grapple, grabbing style, grabbing drag, grabbing master, Chokehold.

7 feats that are 100% worthless against any creature more than one size larger than you and also against any creature you can't or wouldn't want to grapple.

Monsters with multiple appendages that have the grab ability can start multiple grapples in the same round. If they take -20 to the CMB they don't even count as grappled.

Characters that can use a single attack to grab can do the same thing.

As Negative Party Prognosis did show, Grabbing Master allows you to maintain two grapples.

And you can become such a monster with Beast Shape II or Plant Shape I - that are the options in the CRB appearantly. As long as you have a reliable source for according scrolls and can use them, you don't even have to be a caster.

There is Octupus Focus (a bonus to grappling without a free hand) meaning that you can grapple more creatures than you have hands.

There are races like Gathlain and Kasatha that can use maintain grapple with their extra limbs/appendages.

There is also the matter of tying up enemies which makes them Pinned (grappled), you could potentially have multiple creatures tied up at the same time; Specially with weird impaling/whip things.

Magic wise you have things like Black Tentacle and I am sure there are ways to grow arms. Giant shape might work.

Maintaining a grapple isn't based on your number of hands. Unless you have the right ability you spend a standard action to maintain a single grapple and all others aren't maintained.
