The stats for this beasty (from the SRD) that I have questions about are . . .  Gibbering MoutherMedium-Size AberrationBAB/Grapple: +3/+3Attacks: 6 bites +4 meleeDamage: Bite 1Special Attacks: Improved grab, blood drain, engulfAbilities: Str 10, Dex 13, Con 12, Int 4, Wis 13, Cha 13Feats: Weapon Finesse (bite) CombatGibbering mouthers attack by shooting out strings of protoplasmic flesh, each ending in one or more eyes and a mouth that bites at the enemy. A mouther can send out a total of six such members in any round. Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the gibbering mouther must hit with a bite attack. Blood Drain (Ex): On a second successful grapple check after grabbing, that mouth attaches to the opponent. It automatically deals bite damage and drains blood, dealing 1 point of temporary Constitution damage each round. A mouth can be ripped off (dealing 1 point of damage) with a successful Strength check (DC 12) or severed by a normal attack that deals at least 2 points of damage (AC 18). A severed mouth continues to bite and drain blood for 1d4 rounds after such an attack. A creature whose Constitution is reduced to 0 is killed and absorbed by the mouther, which gains 1 hit point and adds another mouth and pair of eyes to its body. Engulf (Ex): A gibbering mouther can try to engulf a Medium-size or smaller opponent grabbed by three or more mouths. The opponent must succeed at a Reflex save (DC 14) or fall and be engulfed. On the next round, the mouther makes twelve bite attacks instead of six (each with a +4 attack bonus). An engulfed creature cannot attack the mouther from within. The previously attached mouths are now free to attack others Here are my questions.The GM makes a successful bite attack at +4 (inflicting 1 point damage) and (using improved grab) starts a grapple.- Assuming it wins the grapple, how many more attacks does it get vs the grappled creature?- Are all additional attacks vs the Grappled creature at a -4 penalty? Now, lets assume the round ends and the grappled creature fails to break free. Next round the GM gets 1 grapple attack (because of BAB) thus attaching the mouth that started the whole grapple, inflicting 1 point damage and draining 1 point of CON.- Because of the GM's BAB, is 1 the maximum number of mouths it may attach in this way in any one round? Now lets assume that the GM's target has been really unlucky and is engulfed.- Does the GM now stop grappling?- If it can continue to grapple, how many attacks does it get and at what bonus are these attacks?- How does the target escape from being engulfed?- Why would the GM release the mouths that had been attached and draining blood from the target?- It can get 12 attacks vs an engulfed creature, how many attacks can it make vs another non engulfed creature at the same time?</blockquote>
