I've noticed something a bit weird. So, given that Scorpion's Grasp with a reach weapon can move you for free to the target's square and that you can release a grappled opponent as a free action, what happens if you, say, have two one-handed reach weapons and then after releasing the target, attack a different one some distance away? Two weapon fighting states that you get an extra attack per round, not attack action, so would this theoretically let you hop from one opponent to the next? Furthermore, what happens when natural attacks get involved (assuming you have Inhuman Reach and/or Extended reach)?
I'm also curious as to whether or not Knockback can figure into this strange hopping about. If your opponent is bullrushed further away than your reach goes, do you still get to initiate that grapple because you've fulfilled scorpion's grasp's condition of dealing damage with a melee weapon?
I'm kind of picturing a Kobold Stoneblessed Barbarian Totemist with Mountain Rage zooming about the battlefield with 5 natural attacks (4 from Girallon Arms, and then the bite, augmented by Inhuman Reach/Enhanced Reach) and two one handed reach weapons moving everyone around with Knockback and getting free trips using Shock Trooper.
Is this legal by RAW, or am I really Reaching?
Edit: Forgot the move to thing only happens with Scorpions Grasp, sorry.
