[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 72745, member: 259"] Well, I could definitely see that the "starting the round after it appears" applies only to tentacles that haven't already grappled something. It's a grammatical stretch, but it's barely conceivable. That would mean that this clause only explains what tentacles that haven't already grappled something in the second round do during the second round. Okay, great. So what do tentacles do in the first round? Hmm....this clause, your player seems to be arguing, only applies to tentacles that didn't grapple during the first round. So it surely doesn't explain what tentacles do during the first round. THe only other description fof what tentacles do is that "these waving members seem to spring forth from the earth, floor, or whatever surface is underfoot...." So it looks like tentacles always wave, beginning immediately. And then, if they've not already grabbed something, starting on the round after they appear, they try to grab something each round thereafter until they've succeeded, they're destroyed, or the spell expires. Ask your player to show where it states that the tentacles grab something on a round OTHER than the round after they appear. Implication isn't good enough. Daniel [/QUOTE]
