As I understand it, you'd have to make two Concentration checks. One to see if you can cast in the grapple (DC 20 + Spell level) and one to see if the damage throws you off (10 + damage + spell level).

Not sure what the 'spell level' of that ability is either. Does the description not say? Maybe it's an Su ability?

Yikes! Two checks? That's even worse! LOL.

According to the Pathfinder rules (pg. 72) to cast spells while in a grapple is a Spellcraft check, DC 15 + spell level. There's only mention of one roll. The Arcane Bond is a Supernatural Ability.

Supernatural Abilities: Using a supernatural ability
is usually a standard action (unless defined otherwise
by the ability’s description). Its use cannot be disrupted,
does not require concentration, and does not provoke attacks
of opportunity. (pg. 138)

Therefore, you're fine to maintain the implement without a check, but to cast a spell you still need to beat the spellcraft DC.

Wahooo! then he will be able to use it unhindered!!

 

[renau1g]

Yes, just once Rych casts a spell he needs a spellcraft check DC 15 + lvl to get it off.

Note: Scotley, you mentioned Rych being way down in the order, but he's actually second (in terms of the PC's) because the Kraken just went.

 

[Rhun]

Nice, easier DC then I expected for him. Go Rych!

 

[renau1g]

Yeah, if it was 15+dmg+level, it would be almost impossible for anyone, but epic to hit that.

It would've been (15+26+3) = 44? Yikes...

 

[renau1g]

Just a reminder that I need actions from Shay, Scotley(now that we've hopefully resolved the rules questions ), and Bigeye.

If nothing by tomorrow, I'll go forward with things as is and roll basic ranged attacks for the archer types.

Baelor wonders what a nice kraken tentacle stew will taste like.
