i'm using some MM critters in the coming dungeon adventure, and am reviewing the basic melee attack for the grell (MM p.144).
tentacle rake (standard; at-will) • poison
reach 2; +12 vs AC; 3d8+4 damage, and the target is slowed and takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls (save ends both).
the grell is a lvl 7 elite soldier. the fact that this is a basic melee attack means it can do this on an opportunity attack. is it me, or does that damage seem like a lot--even apart from the slowness or attack penalty inflicted? there's no errata for this so i guess this must be intentional.
but it seems really overpowered to me. am i alone in thinking this?
