Perfect... thanks!

Looking at the Annihilator in the new Underdark book (p79-80). For its Disintegration ability, it acts as the disintegrate spell. What caster level would this ability do damage at? i.e. what caster level does this ability act at and is there some general rule I'm not aware of to determine this...

Just finishing up American Gods. Very enjoyable.

Thanks for the reply... I just went and reread the section on Same Effect More than Once in Different Strengths (PH p172) and look at what they use as an example. :) Thanks!

If it hits with its slam attack it does 2d6+7. It gets a free attempt to establish a hold thanks to Improved Grab; so it and the target make opposed grapple checks. If the rug wins it pulls the target into its space and does constrict damage (2d6+7). Each following round for the rug, if the...

Is it correct that the Strength penalties from Rays of Enfeeblement don't stack? If so where in the rules is this covered?

SRD under Magic Items, Wands: "WANDS A wand is a thin baton that contains a single spell of 4th level or lower. "

Yes, it's in the Monster Manual glossary under Improved Grab. I'd give you a page number but I don't have my books with me.

No, taking the -20 penalty allows it to act as if it was not engaged in a grapple, succeed or fail. Yes... the grapple is conducted normally if the creature takes the -20. It can try to pin, damage, etc. If the giant loses the grapple check, it just fails at whatever grapple action it was...

Well, you paraphrased. Obviously we interpret that section differently. That's the whole point of this and other threads isn't it? The problem here is the regular grapple rules are obviously aimed at characters, who don't normally have natural weapons and always use iterative attacks to...

You left out something important there: Improved Grab, 3rd paragraph: "... If the creature does not constrict, each successful grapple check it makes during successive rounds automatically deals the damage indicated for the attack that established the hold. ..." I take that to mean that you...

Well then, allow natural weapons (minus the one that established the hold, that's covered by Improved Grab) attacks at -4, instead of grapple checks. Attack Your Opponent per natural weapon.

I posted a similar thread to this earlier and ended up emailing the Sage to see what he would say... here is his reply (I used a Dire Bear in my example, but the idea is the same): 3.5 doesn't make the issue terribly clear. I suggest you simply allw the bear one grabble check fo each natural...

Correct. Casting a spell is a standard action (for spells with a casting time of 1 standard action). Yes, the full attack action (which is a full-round action) lets you make make multiple attacks if your BAB is high enough. Correct. The full attack action lets you make multiple attacks...

That is the point. :)

People that complain about the golf bag are missing the point about the changes to DR. 3.0 DR was pretty much all or nothing, either you had the appropriate means to bypass DR (making it pointless) or the DR value was so high that you couldn't do enough damage to get past it, in the vast...

Yep, I've got all that... totally understand how Improved Grab works. My first question above was what happens to the remaining attacks the bear would normally get as part of a full attack. Or if the grab happened on the second claw, would it still get a bite? (Claw 1 hits, grab unsuccessful...
