So, this might sound really stupid, but I just couldn't find it in the book and it came up in several games now.

When I use a * Special Attack that is tied to a specific weapon, like the Blackhide Wrestler's bite, can I

a) do it as part of the charge and

b) use my remaining weapons after without spending focus/fury?

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that you can't use other attacks after Power Attacks and those are some kind of special attack, right? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As long as it is attached to a melee weapon, which in the case of Death Roll, it is.

No. When you activate a model, you normally get the choice of one of the following with your initial attacks:
- All your melee attacks.
- All your ranged attacks.
- A single special attack or action.

By using Deathroll, you have opted for the third option. Now since Deathroll is attached to a melee weapon, you can force the Wrastler to make additional melee attacks with any weapon you want, but it has forfeited access to other attacks for the Deathroll.

Power Attacks are special attacks. And fall into the above three choices thing.

And stuff.

There is always an exception though. The ones that come to mind are the special attacks that rely on the initial attacks landing. The kodiaks chain attack for example.

Chain attacks are not special attacks in and of themselves. They merely allow you to do something, which in the case of the Kodiak is an immediate power attack against the model you just hit twice.
