[QUOTE="Grogg of the North, post: 6152798, member: 6682960"] I've always just run it as you can attack the stomach/whatever to get out. I never even considered the grapple rules for that scenario. Just running it as a straight attack is faster and more favorable for the swallowed PC (If you were swallowed I doubt you're going to be making grapple checks for damage anyway). Because of muscular contraction silliness I usually say that the damage dealt to escape doesn't hurt the "main monster". The few times anyone has been swallowed and wanted to cast a spell I've usually asked for concentration checks. I've let PCs drink potions; even fish them out of bags too. If you need a potion while in a monsters stomach you have bigger, more pressing issues. On a side note, the last time I ran a tendriculous it ended with the monk running away, the cleric on the ground and the rogue as plant food. That was one of the big lessons that taught me CR is just a guideline. ;) [/QUOTE]
