[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 1412481, member: 114"] Do your T-Rexs feel full after swallowing a few moles and monkeys? I have the solution for you! [house rule alert] Swallow whole just doesn't make sense in most of the cases where it is given, I find the best thing to do (which sounds bad but actually works out better for the PCs) is to treat it as "pick up and chew/shake". Once the improved grapple succeeds the character is grappled in the creatures mouth. Each round the creature gets to make a grapple check to apply its bite damage and the grappled character has his normal difficulties in doing anything when held in a big creatures grapple. Unlike swallowing whole, this ties up the creatures mouth so it isn't doing any other bite attacks while it chews its first mouthful into bite sized chunks. Also unlike swallowing whole it is a darn site more realistic for T-rexes and many other creatures with the swallow whole ability. [/house rule alert] Cheers [/QUOTE]
