[QUOTE="kinem, post: 4192668, member: 24234"] Regarding the spirit jaws: A grappled creature can move with the jaws by making an opposed grapple check, as always when in a grapple. That is the only way they can move, since the spell provides no movement rate for them. That is not the only way to interpret it, since as I said it is unclear from the spell description; however, it would be very overpowered to allow the jaws to chase the target around even if he managed to escape. I think it's still overpowered even with my interpretation. Evard's Black Tentacles is a 4th level wizard spell, often considered overpowered, and while it can affect multiple opponents it is confined to a small area. Other limitations of BT are that it can't attack flying foes and that your allies must also avoid the area. And while BT has a higher grapple check, it only attacks once per round and deals less damage. I don't think a 3rd level druid spell should be Black Tentacles on super-steroids even vs. one foe.
