Grappling, multiple attacks and retreat

PK · 07-16-2010, 12:47 PM

Once you're grappled successfully, you're in close combat. You have the normal penalties for being grappled and in close combat against any subsequent strikes.

As per the FAQ, if you retreat vs. a grapple (whether or not there were other attacks preceding it) and fail to defend, then you didn't retreat after all. So the only reasonable interpretation in my mind is that any defense against further attacks from the same opponent shouldn't get the retreat bonus.
