Same rules apply but I'd also throw in that the GM is screwing with
you if they say the only thing you can do is break free when the
pixie is grappling you. I've done it to people just to make fun of
the rules before :) If 200' draco grabs you, expect that he'll also
be flying and frying your friends while you struggle to break free.

Grapple should be ammended to read tat the only action you can take
is to break free, _UNLESS_ the creature is puny by comparison :)
