[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5150023, member: 57383"] Well what "more standard Swallow Whole" are you proposing? You mentioned regular Swallow Whole + Drowning, but what description would you like? An adaptation of a Tendriculos's Swallow Whole/Paralysis strikes me as a promising approach: Swallow Whole/Paralysis (Ex): A tendriculos can try to swallow a grabbed opponent by making a successful grapple check. Once inside the plant’s mass, the opponent must succeed on a DC 20 Fortitude save or be paralyzed for 3d6 rounds by the tendriculos’s digestive juices, taking 2d6 points of acid damage per round. A new save is required each round inside the plant. The save DC is Constitution-based. A swallowed creature that avoids paralysis can climb out of the mass with a successful grapple check. This returns it to the plant’s maw, where another successful grapple check is needed to get free.
