Opposed checks and penalties to hit

[Voltumna]

Do penalties to hit like from Combat Expertise, also penalize your opposed checks for grapple and similar attacks?

 

[Auggie]

Off the top of my head, I'd say no. Those checks are free actions, correct?

If its an "opposed attack roll" then yes, yes it does.

Later.

By the rules, yes it does.

I've houseruled that your penalty when using Combat Expertice does not hinder your opposed rule to resist Sundering or Disarming.
