I'm unable to find anything that specifically references this, and maybe some of you can help me understand it better. If I tried to grapple a creature that is half-way "melded" into some material, and I grapple the half that is sticking out, can I move it out of that material back into the open?
The case that brought this up for me:
In a mythic campaign, the party is fighting a huge spider that has cast Earth Glide on itself, and has sunk 5 feet into the ground, with 5 more feet of itself sticking out (10 feet height). I succeed on starting a grapple, then use greater grapple to maintain, which then allows me to use the Champion ability Uncanny Grapple. I want to use the Throw ability of Uncanny Grapple, to throw the spider up into the air 30 feet (we are tier 3).
The gm says this would be impossible because that would be including "the rock and earth that the spider is apart of", which would require more effort than my character is capable of. Since there's no limitation set by Uncanny Grapple or grappling rules on the pfsrd-- afaik, then I would think I'd just pull the spider out of the ground. Again, I'm unable to find anything elsewhere that says explicitly if this is or is not the case. Outside of mythic, how would this affect being able to pin and move?
Thoughts or clarifications?
