[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 9296704, member: 57383"] Works for me. Updated the [B][URL='https://www.enworld.org/posts/9132473']Male Krakentua Working Draft[/URL][/B] and a [B][URL='https://www.enworld.org/posts/9132474']Female Krakentua Working Draft[/URL][/B]. What I was thinking of was making the Slam its primary attack and its tentacles secondary attacks, but give it enough Multiattack and Multiweapon feats that is can use its tentacles and tentacle-held weapons without penalty. So for the male we'd be talking: [indent] [B]Attack:[/B] Slam +41 melee (#d#+12); or tentacle +41 melee (#d#+6); or weapon +41 melee (#d#+6) [B]Full Attack:[/B] 2 slams +41 melee (#d#+12) and 7 tentacles +41 melee (#d#+6) or 7 weapons +41 melee (#d#+6) [/indent] And the female with her higher Strength would be: [indent] [B]Attack:[/B] Slam +42 melee (#d#+13); or tentacle +42 melee (#d#+6); or weapon +42 melee (#d#+6) [B]Full Attack:[/B] 2 slams +42 melee (#d#+13) and 7 tentacles +42 melee (#d#+6) or 7 weapons +42 melee (#d#+6) [/indent] I'm thinking either Huge wakizashas or Medium greatswords for the weapons, so it does 2d6/19-20 slashing damage. Females have more powerful tentacles than males, so I'd have them do different base damage. The AD&D original has male tentacles do 1d4 slap and 1d10 constriction and female tentacles do 1d8 slap and 2d6 constriction. However, 1d4 for the male slaps is way too weedy. We've given it the same Strength as a Kraken, so how about giving the tentacles the same 1d6 damage as a Kraken, and boost the females a tad to match. Like, say the male have 1d6+6 tentacles and 2d6+6 constrict and the female have 1d10+6 tentacles with 2d8+6 constrict? That just leaves the slam. The original did a very modest 1d10 damage, so how about we just treat it as an unarmed strike or gauntlet which scales up to 2d6 damage for a Colossal creature. It is basically just punching them with a huge humanoid fist after all. If it wants to punch harder, it can get levels in Monk! [/QUOTE]
