[QUOTE="BOZ, post: 1171937, member: 1241"] actually, its a scavenger and does very little hunting. that's why i thought search would be a good skill. regarding tentacle severing, i did do some research, and here are some examples of how it works now: An opponent can make sunder attempts against a kraken’s tentacles or arms as if they were weapons. A kraken’s tentacles have 20 hit points, and its arms have 10 hit points. If a kraken is currently grappling a target with one tentacle or arm, it usually uses another limb to make its attack of opportunity against the sunder attempt. Severing a kraken’s tentacle or arm deals damage to the kraken equal to half the limb’s full normal hit points. A kraken usually withdraws from combat if it loses both tentacles or three of its arms. A kraken regrows severed limbs in 1d10+10 days. An opponent can attack a giant octopus’ tentacles with a sunder attempt as if they were weapons. A giant octupus’ tentacles have 10 hit points each. If a giant octopus is currently grappling a target with the tentacle that is being attacked, it usually uses another limb to make its attack of opportunity against the opponent making the sunder attempt. Severing one of a giant octopus’ tentacles deals 5 points of damage to the creature. A giant octopus usually withdraws from combat if it loses four tentacles. The creature regrows severed limbs in 1d0+10 days. The giant squid has an identical description for attacks on its tentacles as the giant octopus. So, if I rewrite it a bit, I get this: An opponent can make sunder attempts against a golden ammonite’s tentacles or eyes as if they were weapons. A golden ammonite’s tentacles have 10 hit points, and its eyes have 1 hit point each. If an ammonite is currently grappling a target with one tentacle, it usually uses another limb to make its attack of opportunity against the sunder attempt. Severing an ammonite’s tentacle deals 5 points of damage to the ammonite. An ammonite usually withdraws into its shell if it loses four tentacles or either of its eyes. A golden ammonite regrows severed tentacles in 1d10+10 days and regrows its eyes completely in 4d6 hours. Should I add some sort of penalty to the attack roll if an opponent is trying to hit the eyes? the rest of the above stuff will be addressed later... [/QUOTE]
