I'm going to pick another monster from the SRD at random (as I think the kraken is not CR12).Ok....this monster appears to have a grapple check of 15.  Assuming a 7th level fighter with STR16, the fighter has a grapple check of 10. If it wants to do the grapple check at -20 (so it's not considered grappled - has DEX, and can attack someone else), the fighter should break free the next round.Another monster at random - Rast - grapple check of +6, CR 5.  A 5th level fighter with STR 16 would have a grapple check of +8.Anyway, yes, grappling is difficult ESPECIALLY against really big creatures (which is how it should be in my mind) and even more so if you aren't a fighter.  I don't know if it's broken though - I think the CR of these big grappling monsters are off.IceBear</blockquote>
