[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 9123848, member: 57383"] Agreed. But it does follow the 3.5 standard for Swallow Whole, as per the SRD [URL='https://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/purpleWorm.htm'][B]Purple Worm[/B][/URL]: [INDENT][B]Swallow Whole (Ex)[/B]: A purple worm can try to swallow a grabbed opponent of a smaller size than itself by making a successful grapple check. Once inside, the opponent takes 2d8+12 points of crushing damage plus 8 points of acid damage per round from the worm’s gizzard. A swallowed creature can cut its way out by using a light slashing or piercing weapon to deal 25 points of damage to the gizzard (AC 17). Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out. A Gargantuan worm’s interior can hold 2 Large, 8 Medium, 32 Small, 128 Tiny, or 512 Diminutive or smaller opponents.[/INDENT] The Ihagnim needs to hit with a tentacle attack, then succeed at its Improved Grab grapple check to grab hold, and then needs to succeed at a second grapple check to Devour. If an opponent escapes the grapple the Ihagnim can no longer attempt devouring. There's not much we can do about that and keep compatibility with a [I]bag of devouring[/I], it IS pretty much a glass cannon. The original monster had an Intelligence score equal to its Hit Dice, which also determines its speed in astral space as per standard astral travel rules. So an AD&D Ihagnim with 8 Hit Dice also has Move 8[I]″[/I] and Intelligence 8. So maybe Str 7, Dex 7, Con 18, Int 8, Wis 11, Cha 8 for the abilities? That'd require NA +13 to provide AC 20, assuming we exact match the [I]Dragon Bestiary[/I] version's Armor Class 0. Its Move 8" would be Fly 20 ft. (perfect) in 3E terms, but only works on the astral plane. [/QUOTE]
