[QUOTE="Zlorf2004, post: 2071274, member: 17610"] Hi, Can someone try to explain how Stirges fights, after reading the Stirge entry in the monster manual were still unsure exactly how a stirges fights. Here what we came up with. 1) Stirge attacks with touch attack +7. Lets say its hits. 2) Stirge attaches to PC, losing DEX, now AC 12 and Grapple is now +1 3) PC attempts grapple to pin the stirge and suceeds. Stirge is now pinned. Now this where the confusion sets in, the Stirge is now pinned and has a grapple of -11 right? So its pretty hard for the stirge to actually break the pin. Now lets say it did. Would the stirge have to make another melee touch attack +7 to latch on again or does it reattach automatically? Can the PC damage the Stirge while its pinned, by either punching it or using a small/light weapon? TIA Zlorf [/QUOTE]
