Grapple, and the magic item selection limitations would make shelling out on a ring of FoM much less a conundrum.  You buy casting stat +6, some others +2, some cheap AC and save boosts, and...then what?  What's more valauble than tentacle rape protection after that in core?)Basically.  "Dragon Compendium volume 1."  A collection of feat/class/etc... entries in dragon magazine.  Anything in DCv1 should be in one of the magazines.</blockquote>
