Nedlum 02-01-05, 11:11 AM	I don't believe you get iterative attacks. Just the one grapple.
Krelios 02-01-05, 11:14 AM	If you're initiating the grapple, they suffer the cumulative -5 penalty like all other iterative attacks. If you're defending, you always use your unmodified grapple bonus. That makes it pretty tough to hit on anything but the first (and possibly) second grapple attempt unless you're WAY better than your opponent.
PhaedrusXY 02-01-05, 11:41 AM	Krelios has it.
Wizard 02-01-05, 12:04 PM	Okay...just making sure. I usually stick to my spellcasting, so combat ain't my forte. :)
