But let's play a few rounds with a party of four. Basic fighter, wizard, cleric, rogue. Fighter is the one that gets attacked/grappled. With the Tyr's lousy initiative and +20 on attack, chances are 50% that he won't do damage at all in the first round. With only 14 AC, fighter and rogue will hit (cleric and wizard are boosting/protecting), especially on their first attack, so Tyr is down to 140 HP.So in the next round Tyr attacks/grapples/swallows the fighter, fighter from 80 to 50 HP. Tyr gets attacked by everybody but the fighter, Tyr down to 100 HP.Round three, Tyr tries to attack/grapple another creature, misses. Fighter down to 25 HP, grabs a light weapon. Tyr gets attacked, down to 60 HP.Round four, Tyr attacks/grapples/swallows rogue. Fighter down to 1 HP. Fighter and Rogue attack from the inside, Cleric and Wizard use blast spells from the outside, probably bringing the beast down.So this has cost little more than 1/4 of the parties HP, little less that 1/4 of the parties spells and none of the parties one use items. None of these charaters was really boosted/hasted or otherwise specially empowered.</blockquote>
