The Grappler

[GutterFace]

So quick question, if a BM Ranger chooses the Giant Crab from the MM;

Does the Ranger's proficiency bonus apply to raising the DC of the crabs grapple check (normally DC11)?

[MadBear]

My gut says yes.

To escape a grapple they need to beat the targets strength (athletics) check which is a skill check.

also as a note....the crab is not proficient with athletics? but has grapple.....how bizarre...
ugh BM ranger makes me sad.
