[QUOTE="Velenne, post: 325980, member: 1856"] I believe (I don't have my books with me so I could be talking out of my ....you know) that their Attacks listing says "4 Tentacles +8". So they get 4 attacks while up at melee with a PC. If he hits with any of them, he makes a grapple check as a free action (also +8). If he wins with all 4, kudos for him and he's smart for attacking the rogue who was away from his party and not running into the middle of the group without mind blasting them into submission first. But I digress... Let's say he manages on his turn to succeed at all 4 grapple checks. The PC's turn comes up and the hapless rogue didn't spend any ranks in Escape Artist. So he tries in vain to escape while screaming for his group to hurry up and save him. Next round, the PC's arrive too late. On his turn, the illithid has now spent the last round sucking the rogue's brain out. Dead rogue. Time for mind flayer to eat and run. [/QUOTE]
