[QUOTE="Erechel, post: 7407922, member: 6784868"] Maybe. The creature will have disadvantage on the check to restraint? It will be another check? Will it be uncapable of using said hands to attack me? If it does, of course. I still can kick it for puny unarmed damage. Or try to escape at disadvantage. Or cast a spell without somatic/material components, such as [I]Vicious mockery[/I] Also, keep in mind that I never said [I]restrained[/I]. There are already rules for restraining someone: Grappler feat. And the [I]restrained[/I] condition only gives Disadvantage, not incapacitates. "A restrained creature’s speed becomes 0, and it can’t benefit from any bonus to its speed. Attack rolls against the creature have advantage, and the creature’s Attack rolls have disadvantage. The creature has disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws." That's the same that knocking someone prone and then grapple, except for the Disadvantage on Dex saves. Something that a big creature already does. My choke, also, won't incapacitate, only silence or at least make really difficult to cast something with verbal components. This is a strawman. I already said it: the caster isn't restrained. Is grappled, and silenced @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=82779"]MechaPilot[/URL][/U][/B][/I]. It hasn't disadvantage. The caster can still use its hands to attack. Or its feet. Or its head. Or cast spells without verbal components (there is one?). I think I'm making myself clear with my words. [/QUOTE]
