Ok, gotta a question. Here are the facts :
If a Mind Flayer hits w/one tentacle, it auto-initiates a grapple (i.e., does not have to make the normal touch attack)
Goes on to say that it may use its Grapple check to attach all of its tentacles at this point.
Then, finally, it says that if it has all Tentacles attached at the BEGINNING of a turn, it auto-extracts the juicy brain.
So, here are the questions :
1. How would the DM's out there rule on having an outside particpant attempt to pull a tentacle or two off?
2. With regard to 1 above, how do the rules work when one Person A is successfully Grappling/Pinning (it is a pin, as it works the same...requires Escape Artist check to get out of it) Person B. The, Person C comes in and attempts to Grapple Person A (the rules are quite clear with regard to Person C trying to join the grapple against Person B, but not Person A).
All constructive thoughts are appreciated!
