Simple question, just curious what others think.

Thread that lead to this seemingly obvious question is here.

Strange that grappling damage is nonlethal, isn't it?

Should have had an option reading: "Not now, after reading that other thread".

There is a difference between grappling damage and damage while grappling.
The tentacles are lethal.

Sorry
I didn't see any polls in the rules section and thought perhaps they weren't allowed there.

Of course it does lethal damage. The spell specifies that it does bludgeoning damage, it doesn't specifiy that it does non-lethal damage. The spell description trumps the grapple rules.

Yes ... and I actually killed a PC with it; boy was he pissed.
