Description

After a successful bite attack, a python will wrap itself around the victim (in the same round), constricting for 1d6+1 points of damage plus an additional 1d6+1 per round thereafter. The hold may be broken on a roll of 1 on 1d6 (add the victim's Strength bonus to the range, so a Strength of 16 would result in a range of 1-3 on 1d6); breaking the hold takes a full round.
