Basically it summons a medium animated object with the constrict special ability in the form of a thorny vine. I go to look at animated objects and it gives details for constricting, but animated objects get no improved grapple or grab. So does this mean that though this bramble is meant to grab it still triggers an attack of opportunity?

The Vorpal Tribble 02-11-06, 10:22 PM	Alright then, another question. If this vine attacks in a surprise round in which its foes are surprised, does it still trigger an attack of opportunity?
