Re: Simple Q&A (By RAW) III
Expansion of A 583
According to The Draconomicon, Page 73, under the feat "Snatch and Swallow" it indicates it does. Due to this feat basically granting the Swallow whole ability, it is not unreasonable to rule this to be the case.
edit: Ninja'd. Oh well. My answer is different, so I'll call it a expansion.
Q 584
Refering to "Snatch and Swallow" (Draconomicon Page 73), under the text:
A Swallowed Creature can try to cut its way free with any light piercing or slashing weapon (The amount of damage required to get free is noted on the table below)Last edited by Gralamin; 2007-09-02 at 08:51 PM.

Re: A 583
I do not own the Draconomicon, so I have to make do with the description at Realms Help. However, it should be noted that the feat never states it grants the Swallow Whole ability as it normally works. It is therefore reasonable to assume there may be some differences.
A 584
I believe the table was left out and a Sage Advice article included the table. Unfotunately, the table doesn't appear to have made it into hte FAQ, and I don't recall which issue of Dragon (if any) included the table.Last edited by Shhalahr Windrider; 2007-09-02 at 08:59 PM.

A. 583 Continued
I looked through a few Swallow Whole descriptions and none of them said that the HP damage done to the gizzard or digestive tract was actually healed, just that the hole was closed.

Q 585
If you initiate Raging Mongoose and Time Stands Still in the same round, do you get the additional two attacks on both full attacks, or just the first?Thanks to Veera for the avatar.

Q. 586
Spirit Naga
The description of the creature contains such a phrase:
Spirit nagas cast spells as 7th-level sorcerers, and can also cast spells from the cleric spell list and from the Chaos and Evil domains as arcane spells.
Q. 587
Grabbing and constricting - again.
Just to clarify, as my mind got hazy on these recently due to grab-discussion traffic and player questions - for creature with improved grab and constrict damage:
- does the constrict damage get applied in the same round the creature did hit&grab?
- does the constrict damage replace or gets added to the normal unarmed damage in the following rounds, when the creature does its "make a grapple check to damage" routine?
- i was sure that the improved grab grapple check breaks the full attack routine. Now i've read some interpretations that the full attack routine should continue, and the improved grab grapple checks should be resolved at the end of it. Which one is correct?

The Spirit Naga casts spells as a sorcerer and therefore needs to know the spell before it can cast it.
Spells known can be chosen from all the lists mentioned in the entry.
This can also be seen from the list of spells typically known.

If a creature has the Constrict ability simply establishing a hold is enough for it to be able to deal Constrict damage.
Constrict damage is in addition to the damage dealt by the weapon used for the Improved Grab ability.

If it choses the first option and establishes a hold they are now grappling and the creature cannot continue the full attack as normal.

Re: Simple Q&A (By RAW) III
Yes, but it does not actually say that this damage does not count for anything else. The next person has to cut a new hole, because the old one is closed, but there is no mentioning of this process not hurting the creature.
Maybe that is why it is important to always chew your food?

Re: Simple Q&A (By RAW) III
If this was a special case where HP damage taken to a part of a creature should not be deducted from the HP total I think it would deserve at least a casual remark.
The old friend a Hydra can also take damage to a specific part and here it is specified in detail how this damage does not equate the damage done to the body. (Considering how poorly the Hydra entry is written this says quite a lot. )
If this was not the case the following comment about rogue tactics by the sage makes very little sense.
Does a character who has been swallowed whole treat the swallowing monster as flat-footed?
The Sage thinks that’s a reasonable interpretation. ...
Put together, this means that letting the rogue get gulped
might make an effective way to defeat a swallowing monster . . . assuming the bite and ongoing damage doesn’t kill her.
...I think we're probably headed to "new individual thread" territory. Otherwise we have to leave the answer as, "RAW is unclear on the issue."

You use your grapple modifier:
BAB + STR modifier + size modifier
