[QUOTE="radmod, post: 5269136, member: 93008"] First let me say that I'm likely giving a wrong impression. While I call him a necro-assassin it's because that's his attitude; I don't know exactly what he is. He is a 2e transitioned into 3.5, and has a few cleric levels of some sort mixed with some other 'sneaky' levels. Further, I seem to recall he said his Drow race was +3 ECL so that leaves him with 9/10 HD. He's the type of guy who would spent mucho points in Hide, Move Sil., Disguise, Bluff, etc. so I doubt he had much left for Escape. Since Evard's grapple is CL + 8, that means the tentacles are +25. His grapple (with a penalty in STR) is +6, so I always win. Even with the average 7.5 dam, that means in the 16 rounds he would take 120 hp damage. However, you make a good point about the unlikelihood of killing him outright. I was basing that on the idea of the previous encounter where I would cast Evard's and then head off to the other encounter. By the time I got back he might've been crushed. So, yes, if I got him when I could watch him I could dispel it before he's dead (unfortunately, though, my 'rookie' character might think he was bluffing, or might actually fall for a bluff).
