Rhun's Greyhawk OMEGA OOC Thread (ToEE) - CLOSED!!!

If the creature does not constrict, each successful grapple check it makes during successive rounds automatically deals the damage indicated for the attack that established the hold.
SRD re: Owlbear & Improved Grab said:
To use this ability, an owlbear must hit with a claw attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
Does that solve it?

Code:
[B]Improved Grab[/B]
If a creature with this special attack hits with a melee weapon (usually a claw or bite
 attack), it deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without 
provoking an attack of opportunity. No initial touch attack is required. Unless otherwise 
noted, improved grab works only against opponents at least one size category smaller than 
the creature. The creature has the option to conduct the grapple normally, or simply use 
the part of its body it used in the improved grab to hold the opponent. If it chooses to do 
the latter, it takes a -20 penalty on grapple checks, but is not considered grappled itself; 
the creature does not lose its Dexterity bonus to AC, still threatens an area, and can use its 
remaining attacks against other opponents. [COLOR=SlateGray]A successful hold does not 
deal any extra damage unless the creature also has the constrict special attack. If the 
creature does not constrict, each successful grapple check it makes during successive 
rounds automatically deals the damage indicated for the attack that established the hold.
[/COLOR] Otherwise, it deals constriction damage as well (the amount is given in the 
creature’s descriptive text). When a creature gets a hold after an improved grab attack, it 
pulls the opponent into its space. This act does not provoke attacks of opportunity. It can 
even move (possibly carrying away the opponent), provided it can drag the opponent’s 
weight.
 

I don't know where I was missing that passage at, but that completely answers my question. Thanks Strahd...sorry it is Zirat that is the one that is being grappled! :D
 


Jinx was hoping to spiderclimb on the ceiling and, as a distraction to let Merrick and the others deal with the owlbear and hopefully save Zirat, challenge whatever creature is at the end of the hall speaking Giant. I've attempted to Bluff a new password but in the event that doesn't work, Jinx still has some artillery left in his spell repetoire for the day. Namely scorching ray. Failing those two ideas, he'll resort to throwing daggers at the "giant" or whatever it is from the ceiling.

Or, conversely, he'll do whatever Rhun deems best. And I shan't complain a peep. :D
 

Well Rhun has kindly invited back (again) to take up the role of Jebediah Krane. I've caught up on the IC thread, and I must say I'm ever surprised as to how this group always seems to overcome truel overwhelming odds.

We did it in the moathouse, we did it on the road to Nulb, you did it in the tower, but I'm still not sure how you're going to beat the owlbear and his giant friend. Saying that I honestly didn't think we'd survive the first two encounters either.

Rhun can you full me in on what's been happening, I have a few ideas as to how Jebediah could have spent his time. Such as using his mind-reading and suggestion abilities to learn more from his captors they they learn from him. Also I should be able to manage an escape attempt. who knows I might even arrive in time to save Zirat.

Absolutely. I'll do my best to get a post up for Jebediah this weekend to bring him up to speed.
