[QUOTE="Creat, post: 2029881, member: 15038"] I found another argument that would not allow him at all to fly up with the frog: Let's say you (meaning your character) are in a moving train and cast fly on yourself. You would not expect to fly relative to the surrounding landscape but relative to the train. So casting fly allows you to fly in your current environment, which in this case would be the frogs digestive organs, so he could fly up pressing against the skin form the inside, it just wouldn't move the frog in any way. at least I think this is reasonable :) No it's alright. Because the moment you swallow someone you have all your natura attacks free again and most creatures who can swallow whole can also hold more than 1 medium-sized creature (usually at least 2). So you can attack the foes around you doing the damage you would've done to the now swallowed one (only if you hit them, of course) and still damage him every round, think of it as bonus damage. Also he usually needs a small slashing weapon to get out of there and can only use only small weapons in genera to attack in there which pretty much incapacitates most characters (spellcasting is completely impossible for spells that have somatic components, which is most spells). In other words: It easily reduces the number of enemies by (almost) disabling them. [/QUOTE]
