and pinning complicates thatI don't really see how. It doesn't state that you lose your Dex bonus, while at the same time defining that you do take a straight penalty to AC (meaning they gave thought to how it affects AC, and decided not to have it cause losing Dex to AC.) (Though the penalty to AC is against the same people who you already lose your Dex bonus to AC against).
It may not be the answer that makes sense, but it's not complicated - you do not lose your Dex to AC vs the person who pins you.
i think we are slightly talking different things.
Yep. I agree.
I quoted the "pinned" part because that is what will affect the victim of a grapple. The no dex part you posted refers to the one "winning" the grapple. At least, that's how I read. Now, if what you quoted applies to both sides, then I'm a happy guy.
Anyone can confirm this?
Grappling Consequences
While you’re grappling, your ability to attack others and defend yourself is limited.
No Threatened Squares
You don’t threaten any squares while grappling.
No Dexterity Bonus
You lose your Dexterity bonus to AC (if you have one) against opponents you aren’t grappling. (You can still use it against opponents you are grappling.)
No Movement
You can’t move normally while grappling. You may, however, make an opposed grapple check to move while grappling.
