Hi all,
I couldn't help but wonder - is a Mohrg's tongue attack really a Touch Attack? The MM and SRD entries seem to follow the same format as other Touch Attacks, but I don't see how it's tongue can hit a PC's armour and induce paralysis from that... I would think that it would have to touch flesh to cause paralysis, and this would mean a normal attack roll. Of course, it has Improved Grab so should it succeed at a grapple check after grappling I could rule that it hit with its tongue, dealing no damage but forcing a Fort save to avaoid paralysis (at which point it's next grapple check would be a coup de grace should they succumb, in which it snaps the unfortunate PC's neck should they fail the Fort save to avoid instant death).
I know I'm free to house rule this, but if I do will that affect it's CR of 8 and, if so, by how much?
Thoughts? - and thanks in advance for any suggestions!
