Re: Housecat-sized octopus vs. SCUBA-equipped commoner
Well, if octopodes do get Clinging, they probably get +2 or even +4 from Abilities Enhancing Skills (P162). But by RAW, this requires an IQ roll to get the bonus. I suppose the roll could be something else, like HT or DX, if the GM deems appropriate.

Re: Housecat-sized octopus vs. SCUBA-equipped commoner
Could they float that roll with Attribute Substitution?

Re: Housecat-sized octopus vs. SCUBA-equipped commoner
RAW clinging only helps you hold onto a wall or ceiling, does not help you better grip things. So it would be a house rule if it was used to help a grapple.

But, as noted, it requires an IQ roll to pull off - it's not automatic because it isn't part of the standard use of the ability. And octopi just aren't that smart.
