I thought I had already posted my actions?

I'll double check, may have written and forgot to post.

Can I charge the thing from my current position? Not sure with the bent angle.

As long as your move speed is 20' or better, yes. Feel free to take both rounds actions, if you'd like ;)

[spoiler=OOC]Prime, you are so lucky I keep rolling 6s for his AoO against your grapple attempt. :P

But no, since he's not holding a weapon, you can't beat him with his own claw. If you pin him and cut off his hand, then yes, you can stab him with it.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]Natural weapons are light weapons, right? Your opponent never "leaves go" of his weapon when you take that action, so it doesn't have to be something that can be disarmed...

Yeah, I'll accept if you say no, I just won't be happy about it. :bigeye[/spoiler]

Decided it be best to continue the discussion here.  I'm not sold either way, but it's the wording of "holding" the weapon that inclines me slightly more towards no, since I can punch you with my fist (a natural weapon) but I'm not actually "holding" my fist... I'm open to thoughts and discussion, though.

The rules seem rather ambiguous, but I have no problem visualising it.

It just looks like an awkward wording to me. Want to start a thread in the Min/Max boards for some more opinions?
My work
The tier system in a nutshell:
[spoiler]Tier 6: A cartographer.
Tier 5: An expert cartographer or a decent marksman.
Tier 4: An expert marksman.
Tier 3: An expert marksman, cartographer and chef who can tie strong knots and is trained in hostage negotiation or a marksman so good he can shoot down every bullet fired by a minigun while armed with a rusted single-shot pistol that veers to the left.
Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.

That might not be a bad idea, although it might be something simple we're missing. Probably best to try the simple question thread first

Did you get an answer in the simple question thread, Prime?

Figure I'd check before I update for the round.

I got mostly "unsure" and one "usually".

You'd have to win a grapple and make an attack at -4 to use the monster's own weapon... So if you really want to, I'll let you do that Prime, although it seems easier just to punch it yourself.

I'll be gone from March 8 to March 31, not that it matters all that much atm. >.<'

Going off to paid training. Should be a nice cash boost, as well as a raise when I get back, and I've got almost half the money for my comp saved anyway... Hopefully I'll have it in early April as a late bday present to myself.
