[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 7822964, member: 57383"] Aw hell, let's just kick this conversion back into life and give it darkvision 750 feet so it can see as far as it can reach. Updating [URL='http://enworld.org/index.php?posts/7612822/'][B]Mystaran Kraken Working Draft[/B][/URL]. Shall we decide on attack damage next? The original had tentacles which did 7-42 damage (i.e. 7d6) and a bite that did 8-80 (i.e. 8d10) plus it could constrict for 7d6. Also, its tentacles had 60 hit points apiece. By comparison: [B]Giant Octopus[/B] is 1d4 tentacle[10 hp]/1d8 bite/2d8 constrict; Large=>Colossal would make it 2d6 tentacle/4d6 bite/6d8 constrict. [B]Giant Squid[/B] is 1d6 tentacle[10 hp]/2d8 bite/1d6 constrict; Huge=>Colossal would make it 2d6 tentacle/4d8 bite/2d6 constrict. [B]Kraken[/B] is 2d8 tentacle[20 hp]/1d6 arm[10 hp]/4d6 bite/2d8 or 1d6 constrict; Gargantuan=>Colossal would make it 3d8 tentacle/1d8 arm/6d6 bite/4d8 or 1d8 constrict. Hmm… those are all significantly less dangerous than the Mystaran version. I would be game just giving the Mystaran Kraken 7d6 tentacles and an 8d10 bite like the original, but that doesn't match well with standard 3E damage progression. How about making the tentacle attacks either 6d6 or 8d6 damage and the bite attack either 8d8 or 12d8? Of the two options, I prefer the 6d6/8d8 version since 12d8 is at the end of the Improved Natural Attack feat's d8 damage progression and is roughly equal to 10d10 (average 54 vs. 55) it leaves room for advanced Mystaran Kraken to get Improved Natural Attack to bump up their bite damage.
