geldria 04-06-07, 03:48 PM	does a thrikeen gain any bonuses to grapple cause he has 4 arms ? example i am a thrikeen monk. 6/monk - 2/thrikeen 8th level charector. i have the multiattack feat so befor i even take a level of monk i have 5 attacks bit being -5 to hit. 1)my DM says it is wrong that when grappled i cannot use all five of my attacks to break the grapple assuming i fail to beak the grapple each attack on my turn. 2) says i get no bonus's for either grappling or opposed grapple checks. 3) when viewing TRIP feat a for legged creature gets a +4 bonus to being triped +2 for each extra leg it has. 4) i ask this cause the monster im upgainst has 18 grapple and has me pinned and doing a good ammount of damage to me and i have less then 1/2 my life. also this monster has multiple attacks. and i beive it is unfair to kill me off with out allowing for my extra limbs to prevent such a death. 5) my friend also pointed out that me getting a +4 bonus to resist being grappled also come at the cost of 2 monterous levels and not class levels. are there any legal ways to justify my getting a bonus to resist grapple cause of my 4 limbs, or am i unjustified and should just accept the consequences of running in battle as a normal homanoid with out extra limbs?

You should have maxed Escape Artist and hope you roll a natural 20 to escape pinned and get back to grappled. Good luck

Lady_Mhaor 04-06-07, 10:14 PM	Why wouldn't extra limbs help you break a grapple. . . I just think is something had four arms or w/e it'd be harder to hold
Dielzen 04-06-07, 10:37 PM	The point of mentioning the feat was that having more arms gave the person a bonus on grapple checks, not a suggestion for a feat to take :cool:
createvmind 04-07-07, 07:38 PM	Understood
Pystian 04-09-07, 01:07 PM	There was a spell here on the WotC site that made a wizard/sorcerer a better grappler by giving them two more arms. I want to say it was a +4 bonus?
