[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8672378, member: 57383"] Better get on with it! I'm not 100% sure what the hit points and AC of the arms and mucus should be, or the saving throws of the grappling and mucus, but the rest looks pretty solid to me: [I][B]Multiattack.[/B][/I] The giant basket star use [I]Net of Arms[/I] and then makes a bite attack. [I][B]Net of Arms.[/B][/I] Each creature of the giant basket star's choice that is within 50 feet of the basket star is affected as follows: [I]If the Basket Star is Not Grappling the Creature:[/I] The creature must succeed on a DC 17 [[COLOR=red]?[/COLOR]] Dexterity saving throw or be grappled (escape DC 17*)[[COLOR=red]?[/COLOR]]. A giant basket star can grapple as many creatures as will fit within the 50 foot radius of its arms. The creature can also cut themselves free by doing at least 8 [[COLOR=red]?[/COLOR]] hit points of damage to the arm branches holding them (AC ## [[COLOR=red]?[/COLOR]]; immunity to bludgeoning and psychic damage). Damage to individual arm branches does not harm the basket star or reduce the effectiveness of its [I]Net of Arms[/I] (the [I]Net[/I] has hundreds of branches so losing a few does not hamper it). [I]If the Basket Star is Grappling the Creature:[/I] The grappled creature must succeed on a DC 17 [[COLOR=red]?[/COLOR]] Dexterity or Strength saving throw (creature's choice) or be restrained by sticky mucus, which increases the escape DC of the grapple to 20.* As an action, the restrained target can make a DC 17 Strength check*, bursting free of the mucus on a success. If the Strength check result is 20 or higher they also escape the basket star's grapple, on a 19 or lower they are still held by the [I]Net of Arms[/I]. The mucus can also be attacked and destroyed (AC ## [[COLOR=red]?[/COLOR]]; hp 8 [[COLOR=red]?[/COLOR]]; immunity to bludgeoning, poison, and psychic damage), if the damage is 16 [[COLOR=red]?[/COLOR]] or more the creature will also break free of any arm-branches grappling them. In addition, the basket star can choose to move any creature it is grappling up to 20 ft. [[COLOR=red]?[/COLOR]] in any direction; it normally pulls the creature inwards towards its bite attack. If the creature isn't restrained they can prevent the movement by succeeding on a DC 17 Strength check (a free action). * Large creatures have Advantage on escape and Strength checks against the [I]Net of Arms[/I]. Huge and Gargantuan creatures automatically succeed on escape and Strength checks against the [I]Net of Arms[/I], so a giant basket star can only net creatures of Huge or larger size if they are dead or incapacitated.
