Fleshcrawler Constriction ommission

Post by quithanire »

Hey I was working on some stuff for a game and noted the constriction section for the fleshcrawler from the M&T is apparantly missing, unless there is a generic rule I haven't spotted. I used the constriction from the large constrictor snake, with a d6 damage and, since the creature has these little claws along its body, I was going to rule that these are usable against a victim being constricted. I would think that, given how small the claws are, this would be the only effective way to use them. Really a nasty creature. That harmless cow explodes and...
Any ideas?

They were intended to use a similar rule to that of snakes, with one slight modification - escape requires either a Strength or Dexterity of 13+ before a check is allowed. I would probably reduce the damage to 1d4, maybe 1d4+1, but otherwise... yes, you've got it right.

And, I'd be the one to know.

Make sure you send a PM to both myself and the Trolls so they're aware of the missing text.
