Behir grapple check note
[Sblock]A creature with improved grab can opt to grapple while not being considered "grappled" itself by taking a -20 to the grapple check. If it does not take the penalty, then it is grappled and
1) loses it's dex bonus to attackers outside the grapple
- such as Rinaldo so he would deal sneak attack damage
2) Does not threaten an area so can not make attacks of opportunity.
Please note that as DM you are free to disregard any rules note I make for any reason at all (or even no reason). I will never take offense to changing a rule on purpose, but hate when a rule is overlooked and then everyone is surprised by a fight being more deadly or difficult or easier than expected.[/sblock]
