Slobber Monster said:I might just go with the improved grab rule.
That'd be my preference, mostly because it takes advantage of already-existing mechanics, and doesn't really introduce any new rules.
The only problem you might run into is that, for the situation you outlined, the gargoyle will be at a significant disadvantage when trying it against the halfling:
Gargoyle: Str (+2) + BAB (+2) + Size (+0) = +6
Halfing Commoner: Str (-1) + BAB (+0) + Size (-4) = -5
So, normally, he'd win a grapple check ~90% of the time.
When trying to grapple and fly away, he'd only be able to pull it off ~17% of the time.
Against even a relatively weak PC (say, a Rogue 3, Str 10), it'd be doable less than one time in 10.
This may not be a high enough success rate for what you're trying to accomplish.
