Can grappling be attempted with each hand?

Post by tylermo »

I'm at the mercy of a power-gaming session. The players are trying to take neagtives with each hand to make two grapple attacks. The rules don't specifically say one or two-handed for grapples. Thoughts? I say one attempt per round. I have never had the consult the forums for rules so many times in 5 minutes time. Uugghh

Since it is a full round action, only one attack action can be taken, so yes, plus its relatively clear your pinning BOTH arms, etc... so its pretty clear you need two of your arms to pin both of the opponents. If they want to argue that, have them show how they can do it with one arm, while the opponent is resisting...
Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

Time to kick these players out of your house and tell them to come back when they are ready to behave themselves ...

Mr. T had kindly agreed to demonstrate

But it's not a question of penalties; it's not dual weapons against one foe, it's an attack. If they for some reason get two attacks maybe they can try two grapples.

For me, grapples are their own punishment. If you grapple someone, they are also grappling you. You are all "in a grapple"
