[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5868512, member: 57383"] It's a bit confused over the difference between the "maw" and the "central gizzard". Also, the "a grabbed opponent which fits in its Engulfing Maw" is a bit confusing. It suggest it might have to grapple an opponent and [I][B]then[/B][/I] hit them with its Engulfing Attack to swallow an opponent? How about this: [B]Swallow Whole (Ex):[/B] By making a successful grapple check, a draeden can try to swallow an opponent it has affected with its Engulfing Maw attack or grappled. Once inside, the opponent takes 10d10+45 points of crushing damage plus 8d12 points of acid damage per round and is drawn down the draeden's throat towards a gizzard in its central body. No creature with speed less than 80?? ft can climb out of the draeden's maw by making an opposed grapple check; however, a successful grapple check prevents the victim from progressing farther toward the central gizzard. A swallowed creature can cut its way out by using a light slashing or piercing weapon to deal 60?? points of damage to the interior of the draeden (AC 90); if the damage is not done in a single round, the victim must maintain position by winning opposed grapple checks. Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out. A victim will reach the central gizzard if it fails 10 opposed grapple checks in the throat. A victim that reaches the central gizzard takes 50d10+45 bludgeoning and 40d12 acid damage per round. A draeden's interior can hold an effectively limitless number of creatures up to Colossal size. [/QUOTE]
