ok, dumb question - why does the snake constrict anyone if it can't do anything at all? Should it be able to bite at least?
It can still make melee attacks against the creature it's grappling, so it can bite and stab the restrained victim however it likes. With advantage on the attack rolls as the target is grappled.
This should be clearer:
Tail (Snake or Hybrid Form Only) #3. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d8 + 1) bludgeoning damage. If the weresnake chooses, the target is grappled (escape DC 13) and restrained until the grapple ends. Until this grapple ends, the weresnake can't use its blowgun and its melee attacks can only target the grappled creature.
Better update the Weresnake Working Draft while I'm at it.
