The constrict special ability has me a bit confused. I will be using an Ochre Jelly in an upcoming battle against my PCs, and I want to make sure I understand it correctly.
The relevant attack stats for the monster are:
Melee slam +5 (2d4+3 plus 1d4 acid and grab)
Special Attacks constrict (2d4+3 plus 1d4 acid)
How much damage will the Ochre Jelly do if it (1) starts its turn grappling a PC, (2) succeeds on its check to maintain the grapple, (3) chooses to deal damage, per the standard grapple rules, (4) and constricts.
I believe it should be 4d4+6 plus 2d4 acid. [that's from 2d4+3 plus 1d4 acid for grapple damage and an additional 2d4+3 plus 1d4 acid for constrict].
Is that correct?
Yes, that's correct.
