[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 4111415, member: 13703"] Ok, I think I have this figured out now. In a round where it only has a standard attack (i.e. surprise round) the Choker will make 1 melee attack with its tentacle (at +6 to hit) vs the opponent's normal AC. If the attack hits it deals 1d3+3 damage. It then has the option to use its Improved Grab ability to start a grapple. If it wins the opposed grapple check it draws its opponent into its square and deals another 1d3+3 damage with its Constrict ability. Normally this is all you could achieve with a Standard action. However, Chokers have the Quickness ability so it gets an extra Standard action each round. As such it could use this to make another grapple check to damage its opponent. If it succeeded on a grapple check it would do another 1d3+3 damage. So in a suprise round a Choker could deal 3d3+9 points of damage if it succeeded on all of its rolls. I have another question now. Say the Choker has a full round to act. It makes a full attack, hits with its first attack and successfully grapples and constricts. Can it attack the grappled opponent with it's other tentacle as well? Or is it not possible for a Choker to do a full attack on 1 opponent if it successfully hits and grapples on its first tentacle attack? Olaf the Stout [/QUOTE]
