 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 :)

I'll add that into my proposal, Steve.
