{{ I dunno. There're a few notable 'compromises' between the ideas that could be put into effect, if a compromise is desirable.<br/><br/>A 'flat' number needed to escape does seem a bit weird, especially because preds DO exert control over their gut-muscles here-- it's what lets them make extra attacks against prey in their bellies, for instance. :9 On the other hand, with auto-20s making it all but impossible for similarly-strong folk to escape... could just be something like instead of rolling d20 for their grapple against an in-stomach escape, a pred rolls d10+10 and then applies their normal bonus, effectively meaning all their rolls fall between 11 and 20. No fumbles or below-average rolls, making it a lot tougher but still possible for a somewhat-comparable prey to wriggle back up, if they can weather the conditions down there. >3<br/><br/>...Though I guess I have to ask just to be sure. No throat-phase, even when the pred's smaller than the prey or whatnot? :3 Gulping straight from maw to belly would sure be impressive to see, though, I s'pose...} }
