    desc: "⬲ ([[manipulate]]); __Trigger__ An enemy targets the choker with an attack __Effect__  The choker tries to pull a creature it has [[grabbed]] or [[restrained]] into the path of the attack. The choker attempts an [[compendium/skills.md#Athletics|Athletics]] check, including its bonus to [[Grapple]]. If it succeeds against the [[grabbed]] or [[restrained]] creature's Fortitude DC, the choker redirects the attack to that creature, and the attacker compares its attack roll result against the new target's AC. The choker must move the creature into a space adjacent to itself. The creature must also be moved within the attacker's reach against a melee attack or into a space between itself and the attacker against a ranged attack. The choker can't use this ability to make the attacker target itself, even if it's grabbing or restraining the attacker."

    desc: "  If the choker starts its turn [[hidden]] from or [[undetected]] by a creature, that creature is [[flat-footed]] against the choker's attacks until the end of the turn. Strangling Fingers Any creature hit by a choker's arm [[Strike]] is automatically [[grabbed]], and the choker begins to strangle the target. The creature is suffocating and can't speak as long as it's strangled. This prevents it from casting spells with a verbal component or activating items with a command component."
