'''Manipulate Spell Effect''' | '''Manipulate Spell Effect''' | ||
Some spells, such as [[Black Tentacles (Spell)]], emulate the effects of one or more [[Combat Maneuvers]]. As such, the effects of the spell go against the creature's Maneuver Defense score, instead of its Armor Class. Instead of using your own [[Might]] or [[Sleight of Hand]] skills to challenge your target, you use the power of your spell to manipulate your opponent on your behalf. You don't need bulging muscles and an obsession with high-protein diets to grapple monsters — you've got MAGIC! Spells which work inflict combat maneuver-like effects will also describe the need to use a concentrate check in place of might or sleight of hand in the text of the spell. | Some spells, such as [[Black Tentacles (Sorcerer/Wizard Spell)]], emulate the effects of one or more [[Combat Maneuvers]].
