Like grappling thoses creatures but not me, or not my allies?

However, in Complete Adventurer I noticed the feat called "Extraordinary Spell Aim" which allows you to exclude a single creature from a spell's area. Now, because the feat specifies that a single creature is excluded as opposed to an area, it looks at first glance like you could use it with Black Tentacles, exclude (say) yourself from the area and thus be immune to that casting of the spell, since you are excluded from the area at the time of casting but the spell's area persists.

I wonder if you could also use this with Anti-Magic Field...

09-09-05, 04:55 PM The Freedom of Movement spell makes you immune to being held by the tentacles. Same for clerics with the Travel domain (special power for a few rounds).

Grease is also a great spell to give you or an ally a bonus on escaping from the Black Tentacles.
