How many attacks does a creature with multiple natural weapons get while it’s grappling? How many grapple checks can it make in a round?Under normal circumstances, a creature can can attack with only one of its natural weapons while grappling (and it takes a –4 penalty on such attacks; PH 156). A grappling dire bear can attack with either a claw or its bite.The rake special attack gives the creature “two additional claw attacks that it can use only against a grappled foe” (and which don’t take the normal –4 penalty to such attacks; MM 314).A creature that chooses to make grapple checks in place of attacks—that is, to damage its opponent, escape from the grapple, move, pin its opponent, or use its opponent’s weapon—is allowed one grapple check for every attack that its base attack bonus would allow (even if it doesn’t normally make multiple attacks in this manner). These attacks deal damage as an unarmed strike made by a creature of that size (1d3 for Medium, 1d4 for Large, 1d6 for Huge, and so forth, plus its Strength modifier).A creature with BAB +0 to +5 can make one grapple check in place of an attack, BAB +6 to +10 two, BAB +11 to +15 three, and BAB +16 to +20 four. The dire bear, for example, can make two grapple checks in place of attacks, thanks to its base attack bonus of +9: one using its full BAB and the second using its BAB –5.
A creature that has a high enough base attack bonus can use a fullround action to make a grapple check for every extra attack its base attack bonus would allow it if it were a character. That means such a creature can make two grapple checks if its base attack bonus is +6 to +10, three if +11 to +15, and four if +16 or higher.
Получается, что так: Рыкающий лев с Improved Grab на укусе и BAB +6 имеет две возможности применить действия борьбы в раунд. Обоими этими действиями может быть прямой урон (damage) с использованием естественного оружия "укус" (что не совпадает с атакой естественным оружием "укус").
Мне хоумрул видится не столько плохим, сколько излишне навороченным и не очень интуитивно понятным.
В том-то и дело, что не так. Если он будет атаковать противника не укусом (с -4 на атаку), а граппл-чеком, то он действительно, вместо одного, сможет атаковать два раза, но урон его будет 1д4+Сила. Укус тут будет вообще не при делах.
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.
Хм а мне одному кажется что сграплить противника (что само по себе накладывает массу ограничений) и ещё фулл атаку сделать это как то капельку аверпавер?
