## Barbed Stinger (Monster) Your stinger is unusually difficult to dislodge. **Benefit**: You gain the impale special attack with your sting. If you hit an opponent of any size with your sting attack, you can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If you win the grapple check, you establish a hold and deal automatic sting damage (including poison, if applicable) each round that the hold is maintained.
