Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cleon" data-source="post: 9853047" data-attributes="member: 57383">Updating the <a href="https://www.enworld.org/posts/9132473" target="_blank">Male Krakentua Working Draft</a> and <a href="https://www.enworld.org/posts/9132474" target="_blank">Female Krakentua Working Draft</a>.All the current Creature Catalog versions of the Krakentua have 120 foot darkvision, so I'm inclined to leave that unchanged.Come to think of it, regular Kraken also have low-light vision so should we add that as well? Or maybe even superior low-light vision?Although the AD&D texts don't mention any ability to see in the dark, it does have "ACTIVITY CYCLE: Night" and the female krakentua in OA7 - Test of the Samurai (1989) appears "precisely at midnight" to receive tribute from villagers.Those suggest it could have low-light vision.The CC's 3.0 conversion has no damage reduction while the old 3.5 one from 2005 have damage reduction 20/magic and good. It was a long while ago, but I think we/they were trying to make it more "Epic" so thought adding DR was appropriate.The AD&D originals lacked any weapon resistance or immunity.I was aiming to make these conversions non-Epic critters, so am fine cutting the "Damage reduction? ##/###" from them.That said, I'm thinking we should consider improving the NA a bit to, say NA +15 or +16 to make them AC 20 or 21.The current AC 16 (-8 size, +14 natural), touch 2, flat-footed 16 is a literal translation of the AD&D original's AC 4. In AD&D Kraken have AC 5 heads & tentacles but AC 0 bodies, while the 3rd Edition version have AC 20 everywhere, the equivalent of AD&D's Armour Class 0.For comparison: AD&D Kraken (90′+ long)—AC 5/0 3.5 D&D Kraken (Gargantuan)—AC: 20 (-4 size, +14 natural), touch 6, flat-footed 20 3.5 D&D Kraken (Colossal)—AC: 21 (-8 size, +19 natural), touch 2, flat-footed 21</blockquote>
