[QUOTE="Flamestrike, post: 6836450, member: 6788736"] Nope. The croc bites and grapples on its turn. On your turn you can either try and break out as an action (or cast a spell or attack the croc). Then on the crocs next turn it can munch on you again (retaining the grapple regardless of if this bite damages you or not) or release you and bite someone else. It also get a tail slap (although I would rule it cant tail slap the creature it has bitten as thats physically impossible). It could also just hold the grapple, refrain from biting you again, and instead take the attack action to attempt to knock you prone (while holding its grapple). Twisting its jaws and flipping you onto the ground. Then it gets to move half speed (likely dragging you into the water, just like IRL). As an Australian this is pretty much what happens. Victims of croc attacks die from drowning. They drag you into the water then 'death roll' to knock the air out of your lungs and drown you. Then they stuff you under a log underwater and let you rot for a week or two (their teeth are not good for cutting, so they let you decompose a bit to make your bits easier to tear off). You really dont want to come toe to toe with a Saltwater crocodile. Those bastards are big. Largest land based apex predators in the world from memory, and a great way to ruin your day. [/QUOTE]
