[QUOTE="Gansk, post: 2320474, member: 16383"] I'm not so sure that you can make an assumption that closing a hole and healing are the same thing. The wound may be sealed off from the standpoint of the creature's internal organs, but the internal organ itself could still be exposed and bleeding through a wound in the skin. In the case of both the tendriculos and the tyrannosaurus, the internal AC is two less than the external AC. Since swallowed creatures are considered grappled, they get -4 to hit while inside, which makes the effective AC two better than the external AC. Plus only light weapons can be used, spells are a pain to cast, etc. So I don't see a clear advantage to being swallowed except possibly as a defensive strategy to avoid more damage. Did you see Men in Black? ;) [/QUOTE]
