allowing a Flying Tackle with attacks other than Slam

The only weakness with RAW is that Pounce is almost always combined with AoA (Long or Determined) with Bite &/or Claws. The predator is always going to try to get a hold on its prey's body as it knocks it down.

Back to the OP's original question, Pounce could be allowed to work for normally bipedal animals with reasonable ability to grapple or balance themselves using their forelimbs, e.g., Jurassic Park style "Velociraptors."

Normally a pounce assumes a quadriped has 4 legs to stabilize themselves for the slam.

Do you figure if a non-quadriped manages to get their hands on something (ie grapple) then a Flying Tackle should convert into a Pounce where there's no fall?
