A creature with improved grab who took a -20 penalty is not grappling, so you do not roll randomly to hit such a creature.  However, do you roll randomly to hit the victim of such a grapple?  Consider the case where a spellcaster's summoned monster grapples the party fighter with improved grab at -20.  If the spellcaster wants to hit the fighter with a ray spell, does he have a chance to hit his monster? 2. When you grapple, you move into your opponent's space, or you pull your opponent into your space (improved grab).  Does this actually imply you share the space or, say in the case of a medium creature and a large creature, does the medium creature only occupy one of the four squares of the large creature's space?  Who's option on which square? 3. Can you squeeze while grappling, or forced to be squeezing while grappling?</blockquote>
