[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 6476959, member: 63"] I'm in full plate. A crocodile has me in its mouth. It managed to hurt me last round, but I'm thrashing about, trying to avoid dying, and its teeth just hit metal. (i.e., my AC is high, and its attack didn't quite make it) I'm a squishy wizard in a robe. The croc has me in its mouth. I'm whomping on its head with my staff to distract it as I cast a spell, and even though it's not really hurting the critter, it's distracted enough that it can't successfully thrash me around. (i.e., it rolled low on its attack roll) I had a gator-hydra hybrid grab a PC and drag him into the swamp to drown him. Of course, he would have died from HP damage due to repeated 'biting' long before he would have run out of air by the official rules, but in my mind the 'bite' also represented thrashing, dragging, and death-rolling, and once the prey is reduced to 0 HP, they drown.
