[QUOTE="Iku Rex, post: 535840, member: 752"] Constrict is not a natural ability. Constrict is defined as an extraordinary ability in every monster description where it appears, including the ones in the recently published MM2. If it [i]was[/i] a natural ability, and every monster listing was mistaken, it would still mean that you don't get any extraordinary abilities with polymorph. So I fail to see your point. What is a "word of art"? I have no idea what you are talking about. What are you talking about? Is this meant to have some sort of relation to my post? Why do I have to "make up my mind"? :rolleyes: Natural abilities are defined as "things a creature can do that aren’t extraordinary, supernatural, or spell-like are natural abilities, such as a bird’s ability to fly." (PH page 158) The MM2 has a similar definition. If entries in the "Special Attacks" or "Special Qualities" lines all have Ex, Su or Sp descriptors, that means that entries in the "Special Attacks" or "Special Qualities" lines aren't natural abilities. What's so hard to understand about that? [/QUOTE]
