We figure out how grappling interacts with dodging. Namely, dodging doesn’t affect grapple attempts (because, while it is an attack action, it does not involve an attack roll). So if one of your players is tanking up in a chokepoint, grab em and drag em outta there.

Erratum: John consulted with a “snake expert,” who said that snakes would not feast upon a dead body, as Daniel ruled in this game. Sorry, players: next time you’ll have to come up with alternate tactics.
