Powers:
Constriction (non-magical): The linnorm can only use this attack on a victim of Size +3 or less. Constriction is based on the grappling rules (see Non-Lethal Combat, ArM5, page 174). As long as the linnorm maintains the grapple, its opponent is considered deprived of air (see ArM5, page 180). The victim must make a Stamina check every five rounds, or suffer the normal effects of deprivation. Once the serpent has successfully grappled an opponent (and begun constricting), on subsequent rounds it can continue constricting and still attack with its bite. These attacks may be directed at the grappled victim (in which case the Grapple Strength adds to the Attack Total), or at another opponent. The serpent can usually only constrict a single creature at a time.
