Gluttonous Gobbler is an Ogre feat from the monster codex. It allows a creature to swallow a foe as if they had the swallow whole special ability.
The swallow whole special ability says that "Being swallowed causes a creature to take damage each round. The amount and type of damage varies and is given in the creature's statistics."
How do you find out how much damage the swallowed creature takes?

I see three possible interpretations here:
1). The damage would normally be listed but isn't, indicating that this does no damage.
2). This is a function of the grapple rules, so damage done each round should be the same as if the Ogre were doing damage to harm without natural attacks (unarmed strike damage).
3). The author didn't realise there was no quick way to determine swallow whole damage or the original specific amount was cut for page count, in which case it could be any amount of damage.
As a GM I'd rule 2, but with acid damage as it maokes sense and makes the feat not super situational unlike door 1, and 3 really isn't helpful. FAQ'd in case you need an official answer, but if that is the case you might consider checking the threads in off topic discussion where you can get a faster unofficial response from a dev. Hope this helps.
