Who here thinks they know the answer? I heard that there have been rulings about this in Living Greyhawk campaigns in the not too distant past. Anyone know about those rulings?
Jedi_Alec_Swann 06-24-04, 10:37 PM	anytime you are grappled you lose you dex bonus to your AC and anytime you lose your dex bonus so can be sneak attacked.
carusoscrux 06-25-04, 10:10 AM	Even if you are grappled by a spell you lose your Dex bonus to AC? So then that means that while the spell is grappling you, other rogues in the room can perform sneak attacks on you?
Steve_MND 06-25-04, 01:50 PM	Yeah; you're not being grappled 'by a spell,' you're being grappled by a bunch of physical, tangible tentacles called up by a spell. If the tentacles use the same rules as other things for grappling, then yeah, you lose your Dex bonus towards attackers outside the grapple, just like with any other grapple.

carusoscrux 06-28-04, 01:33 PM	Yeah, I suppose rogues can avoid being grappled by making ranged sneak attacks on their opponents who are being grappled by E's black tentacles.
