[PF] Greater Grapple feat questions

[Vent Reynolt]

I was recently building a grappling based character (details are unimportant) and I have a few questions about what the Greater grapple feat allows.

First off, does the feat allow you to maintain a grapple (Do a grapple maneuver) in the same round that you initiate it? (Assuming that you still had a move action available)

Second: Let's say that I initiate a grapple with someone, but on their turn, they succeed on a grapple check to gain control of the grapple. When turn comes around to me, I'll have to use my standard action to gain control of the grapple again, but would I be able to use my move action via Greater Grapple to do another grapple check? (If not, then Greater Grapple would really be terrible considering that it doesn't boost CMD vs. grapples.)

Yes, that's what Greater Grapple does. It lets you make 2 grapples per round to accelerate the process. Rapid Grappler lets you make 3.

Or you could just play 3.5, where you can sub grapples for attacks and not need any feats to get multiple in a round.
