Kraken Variants

Longer reach for the tentacles is good.

I like your proposal for the extra combat text. Let's do 4d6 damage for the slams.

For the normal weapons in the tentacles, how about mostly Medium katanas with a couple Large or Huge swords?

Updating the Male Krakentua Working Draft and Female Krakentua Working Draft.

So you're suggesting what, something along the lines of four Medium katanas (1d10+6) plus two Large longswords (2d6+6) and a Huge shortsword (2d6+6) in the main statblock's Full Attack line?

That seems unnecessarily complicated. I'd rather keep it simple(r) and just have seven sets of the same melee weapons for the default tentacle weapon loadout and the current katanas seem fine.

Hmm…

Wouldn't it be better to just mention alternative tentacle-weapons in the Combat section?

We've already mentioned alternative weapons to the Slams for its main limbs, so it'd just be an extension of that.
