Does Black Tentalces cause friendly fire?

[magicalmagicman]

To myself and my allies.

[VoxRationis]

Yes, yes it does.

Of course. Why wouldn't it? There's nothing in the text that makes targetting exceptions possible. It grapples every creature in the area, period.

I thought because the tentacles are creatures maybe you could control what they attack like how you control spells. Ok, complete friendly fire. Got it.

No, it is not a creature. That would be a summon or calling spell. Black Tentacles are a creation with a specific effect. You have to get levels in Archmage, or take Sculpt Spell if you want to exclude anything from the effect.
