[QUOTE="FormerlyHemlock, post: 6725345, member: 6787650"] You say you disagree, but I'm not sure with whom you're disagreeing because you're fully aware that you're not disagreeing with [I]me[/I]. We agree that krakens in aquatic settings are scary. Reread post #90: Our disagreement is about epistemology, not CR or D&D: you assume the kraken must have been encountered in advantageous aquatic terrain (+1 to difficulty level), whereas I don't think that assumption is justified by shoak1's words in post #20. (Yes, I know that Shoak is miscalculating the difficulty rating in that quote.) I don't think Shoak was using tricky kraken tactics like smashing a ship the PCs are riding on, grabbing two PCs with tentacles, and retreating underwater to digest them--it sounds like the kraken was being used as basically a meatsack, so it's not surprising that it died like a meatsack. I could be wrong in that guess, but that's not a disagreement over krakens and their potential, it's a disagreement over Shoak's writing, and only Shoak knows the answer. [/QUOTE]
