[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6778479, member: 6701872"] I think that is the intention, since said otyugh can't actually get that stun-lock going on an entire typical-size party at once, and has to have a whole bunch of rolls go in its favor to get to the first stun. It has to: 1) Hit you with the attack roll for a tentacle attack. 2-?) Not have you succeed at your at least 1 chance of escaping the grapple before it's next turn, plus the ? element of not having either you or it moved so that you are no longer in it's reach and thus no longer grappled by anyone/anything else around. 3-?) Choose to go for the tentacle slam on you rather than try and get it's other tentacle grabbing someone, biting someone, and just using the tentacle grabbing you to attack you normally with it. 4-?) Have you fail the strength save when it uses the tentacle slam. It is really very impractical for the Otyugh to slam anyone even once if the party is trying at all to prevent the slam-fest you are worried about. [/QUOTE]
