Grapple Query - Can't Seem to Find the Thread

[Incredible Sulk]

I had a quick question. I swore that I saw something about Grappling that allowed Large-size opponents to Grapple more than one (smaller-size) opponents at a time. Am I seeing things or does it exist? If so, how would one go about resolving the check. A Large attacker vs. two adjacent Medium-size opponents.

Thanks!

P.S. - I'll try to search some more to see if I can find it again.

Think I found it HERE

2) Can you grapple more than one person at a time?

Provided you can grab them all, yes. The grapple check is a standard action, but you make one grapple check and apply it against all opponents you are currently grappling. So if (for example) you've got Improved Grapple, you can attempt to grapple two opponents, provided you can reach and grab them both.

In retrospect, I would assume that you would need to Grapple each target individually, lest you have some form of Area of Attack ability such as a Strike specifically designed to target more than one at a time, then Improved Grab. Thoughts?

Page 34 of the Core rulebook under Grapple Modifier:

In addition to the modifier to grapple checks, a larger character can grapple more opponents of a smaller size: double the number of opponents the character can grapple at once per size category the attacker is larger than the defenders. So a Medium attacker can grapple one Medium opponent, two Small opponents (one under each arm, for example), four Tiny opponents, and so forth.

I'd say a single attack to grapple them all, although they'd have to be adjacent. The classic example is the giant sweeping up a number of smaller attackers in one fist and squeezing. A Large opponent could similarly use one hand each to grab the two medium-sized opponents in front of him. One attack roll and one grapple check to be checked against the opponent's individual rolls.
