Whirlwind Question (not about size)

[Darthslash]

Say I turn into a Whirlwind and pick up a couple of creatures. According to the PRD, the creatures can act normally with a couple minor penalties.

But, can they attack the whirlwind they are trapped inside of? Do there attacks pass harmlessly thru me?

[Avianfoo]

I have the same issue with the Whirlwind monster ability. It simply does not say. Nowhere does it say the whirlwind-ing monster is immune to attacks. The only conclusion I can come up with atm is that the creature can still be attacked and its AC and other abilities remain the same (except as noted in the whirlwind ability)

[FLite]

Pretty much, they can attack you, and you get one free hit against them each round.

[Rikkan]

IIRC they do get an attack penalty if they are inside the whirlwind though.

[Taenia]

They have a -2 to attack and a -4 Dex similar to Entangled condition. Therefore you do have some protection while they are in the whirlwind.

I agree. .
Btw - the ultimate tactics is using call lighting - the whirlwind make it storm damage - so nice
