[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8256850, member: 57383"] I'm not that fussed about it to be honest, and would be fine leaving it alone for the time being. If we do an update we might as well make it a full revision for the Kraken thread and tackle the Krakentua Spawn and Tentacle from OA7 at the same time. There seems no hurry though. I think I'd keep the "squishiness" and make the low AC a bug rather than a feature. It allows mid-level heroes and the KSDF (Kara-tur [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Self-Defense_Forces']Self-Defense Forces[/URL]) catapults to be able to put a dent in it. Speaking of which, the original monster didn't have the AD&D equivalent of damage reduction (no "+# weapon to hit" or "half damage from # weapons" or the like), which'd argue for the 3.5 version not having it either. That'd definitely merit it having a low Challenge Rating! Yes, it's from 2005 which is a year before you joined Enworld and two years before I joined. That increases my preference for doing any corrections as a separate entry called "Krakentua (revised)" or the like, since we had nothing to do with the original version. Besides, we've got a whole bunch of other correction issues queued up on this thread to deal with and I'd like to do them in order only so I don't completely lose track of the things. [/QUOTE]
