Let's Get Kraken! (With Pointy Hat & DnDShorts) 

Best Logan can do is a level 1 gnome druid.

You had your chance

@@wolf_from_beyond8282 I dunno he kinda lives rent-free in my head as the "silly little guy" creator. I'm sure there's a few gremlins in the phonebook Logan could call up.

Or keep the attacks as they are but 3-5x the hp of it. A creature this massive should have more hp IMO

I'd love to see a collection of artworks of Krakens with various different forms for different environments and lifestyles

That i really interesting, I’ve never heard of that before, what sourcebook is that from?

Don't they try and modify away their ability to reproduce because male Krakens die immediately after the conjugal act?

Most knife fish, which include electric eels, are electric to some degree, as well as some rays and stargazers as well. So you've got a couple species of catfish, knife fish, rays, and stargazers to pull from. I'd go with a stargazer, slap some tentacles on one of those and make it 100 times larger and you basically have the picture from the monster manual.

So what I’m hearing is that me being a Stormherald Barbarian makes sense

That reminds me of Hydrus from Shadow of the Colossus, a gigantic electric eel! Give it some range on its electric attacks and it could be a kraken form. I miss playing that game.

One option I've looked at is having a secondary creature that buffs the Kracken and supplies it the lighting it needs. Think of Sharks and Remora. You could have the Kracken as the Shark and the secondary as the Remora. They would using their electrical skill to remove dead skin, parasites and such from the Kracken. Then the Kracken then stores the energy and discharges it in a form that looks like lightning. You could also have someone in party or town that knows if they want to find a Kracken, they need to look for the secondary.

Well that's one way to make an impression.

Storm giant pc Let that sink in Storm giant player charchter Sure why not Just let the party be formed by also an ancient gold dragon and a solar Or why not a titan at this point There is home brew rules and there is insane ridicolous things done for laughing That is ok But if you play your campaign as dm seriously and you let your player choose as race the strongest non epic level giant in the entire game you are doing it wrong It is not epic It is just laughable

For all you and I know that's a custom subclass or they awkwardly worded it being a goliath storm sorcerer, let people do whatever they want to do m8 ​@@tripleh327

@@tripleh327 no such thing as playing the game wrong , as long as people are having a good time, u playin right. Also I think they're talking about a Giant Soul sorcerer, UA subclass that lets you draw power from certain giant lineages, (i,e storm)

@@christ297-x5j nope There are wrong way to play the game Especially when you left the party do insane things and basically left them derail any kind of structure of the story You can play a campaign for fun where you give the players any kind of stupid liberty like being a gold dragon But that are for shit and giggles Nothing to be proud or boast about on the net DND is a game of choice and liberty But is also a game About structure storytelling and rules I played since childhood with my Friends and every single successful campaign I ever participate in was one where the dm actually follow the suggested rules Deviation and home brew is ok only in little doses Making a katana not an exotic weapon in your game? Homebrew yeah but with minimal impact and easy to balance Letting your pc using monster races like storm giants or dragons? Recipe for turning your campaign in a fantasy power trip. There is a reason why we don’t see player monster The reason is balance Monster races are so powerful that they completely destroy any kind of balance or encounter difficulty They trivialize most of the mundane challenges that the party might encounter like closed doors walls to climb river to cross etc And they absolutely destroy challange rating Forcing the dm to literally toss a bunch of dragons onto the party to make the encounter last more than 2 turns Yeah the manual suggest a level adjustement( that in many cases is like +8 or more) but also stress the fact that letting of mister be a thing is at high risk of derailing the entire campaign If you are an extremely good dm you can do it Sure But in 25 years of playing dnd I never saw anything remotely successful down the path of “ letting your pc chose to be literal dragons” I agree with point of if they are having fun is a good thing But having fun is one thing Having fun and managing a succesful campaign and boasting it exploit in the net is another Also divine soul sorcerers derive their powers form otherworldly or divine bloodline (given their nature as mixed holy and arcane casters) Giants are not extraplanar (otherworldly) or divine Storm giants have some arcane powers related to thunder and lighting but they are not divine being that can grant divine magic So it matters little if it is a literal giant with that class or some other species with a giant bloodline in both cases it should not be a thing without heavy homebrew And the more you homebrew the less anything you describe of the fear of your campaign have meaning or sound impressive

ah the railgun, classic fantasy weapon

WHERE'S THE DRAGONATOR!?

​@@marcogenovesi8570magical railgun , like in my world there is something called a magical accelerator wich doubles whatever spell is casted into it and the longer it is the more times its doubled and the further range it has for example hand held versions which are about a meter and a half multiply the spells by 4 but the largest that exists is one placed whithin a gigantic dwarven war golem which is a kilometer long that thing can turn a fire bolt into a lvl 20 meteor swarm

Nobody tell the kraken about the big red self-destruct button every -inator has.

@@marcogenovesi8570 at least it's not a peasant railgun. Instant rock's fall.

Eldest of Kraken, Ancientest of Red Dragons, and the Terrasque walk in to a bar…

Wow, that is really cool, did not know that, what sourcebook is that from?

@@finderfinder4290 Look up What They Don't Tell You About Krakens - D&D by MrRhexx!

@@finderfinder4290 9:00 in What They Don't Tell You About Krakens - D&D

@@monkeibusiness thank you, apparently the source that person got their lore from was Dragon 334, ecology of the kraken

​@@finderfinder4290it was also mentioned in 'Lords of Madness' a 3e supplement about aberrations. Mostly focused on Aboleths (kraken discussed under their minions section but get way more attention than any other minion does), Beholder's and Mindflayers

sounds like we have the workings of a Godzilla rip-off film series featuring 6+ radioactive baddies

6 Incidents. 9 total missing on that list.

​@@Ziek2006 FR. I've been scrolling through comments and no one else read the list. 3 of the entries alone have two nukes missing a'piece. That's 9 nukes missing 😂

I hate how much I love this.

I've heard enough baffling stories about the Soviet air forces to believe it was probably more than 6. We're talking about the same guys who lost 16 admirals and generals in one plane crash.

When Ukraine turned over their nukes after the USSR broke up (incidentally that agreement was contingent on the USA and NATO pledging to defend their borders) they found at least 21 missing from their inventory. Even more terrifying, they only had about 20 of the Soviet's arsenal. Meaning if that's representative then there's 100+ unaccounted for..

Explain this. I’m confused.

@@LordCrate-du8zm Basically, a lot of lore places monsters and races before the beginning of time. I basically just added to my campaign’s lore that time just isn’t a thing in most places. The Astral Plane already doesn’t have time. So, in my lore, when the Material Plane was created, time was created with it. Since the Material Plane, and therefore time, had a distinct beginning, everything before that beginning was “before the beginning of time”. A lot of things happened before the beginning of time, but all those things were in an un-aging eternal state where beginning and end were indistinguishable from each other. After the formation of the Material Plane, time made its way into the other planes. Since comparably less stuff has happened since time was introduced, I like to tell my players that time is a “recent” thing. Recent because it would take a very long time for all the stuff that happened before time to occur if they had to occur in sequence.

@@throwaway2931 I see. Thanks!
