DESCRIPTION

The area becomes difficult terrain. Make a single grapple attempt and compare it to each target’s CMD. Your CMB for this attempt is equal to 5 + your caster level. If your CMB for the round exceeds a target’s CMD, the target is grappled and takes 1d6+4 damage.

• You can use black tentacles once per round, rerolling your CMB each time.
• You get a +5 bonus to your CMB against already grappled targets.
• A creature that enters the area on its turn is affected by your most recent grapple attempt.
• Your CMD with black tentacles is 10 + your CMB above.
