[QUOTE="youspoonybard, post: 1138732, member: 12242"] Hi. I'm youspoonybard. You may remember me from such hits as, "The guy that tried to Constrict too much" and other classic hits. Seriously, though, I am told that I am constricting too much. I'm really confused and just trying to figure out how these abilities work. If I offend someone, like I apparently did last time, please, chalk it up to an honest-to-goodness innocent misinterpretation. Any examples/clarifications/criticisms would be [i]appreciated beyond belief[/i]. Ok, so this is what I see happening: Round 1: Attacker with Improved Grab and Constrict successfully hits an opponent. Improved Grab kicks in, and for this example's sake, the attacker wins on the opposed grapple check. He then does automatic Constrict damage, and his turn ends. Attacker and Opponent are considered grappling, and Attacker has pulled Opponent into his square. After Initial Round: Opponent is in Attackers' mercy. Every time Attacker wins an opposed Grapple check, Opponent is taking Improved Grab and Constrict Damage. To maximize damage, use the "Damage Your Opponent" grapple technique. Now, apparently I'm wrong...but this is how I see the rules. Can anyone help me figure out what's SUPPOSED to be going on here? Seriously. I'm confused. I've showed the rules to my players, and they agree with me, even though it makes grappling creatures deadly as hell. So I turn to you guys for help. [/QUOTE]
