That's pretty much what I was thinking, Frag.  I'd probably go with regrowing a set number each round instead of all of them after every few rounds, but the ones that regrow can't act until the next round, so you still reduce how many times it can attack by cutting them.  (Ideally, it would be able to grow all of its tentacles back in 3-4 rounds.)  If you've got a reason to prefer regrowing all of them at once, but less often, I'd like to hear it.<br/><br/>Anyway, I'm thinking 3-4 tentacles to grab and hold a girl sounds like a good number, so that means about 10 or so total tentacles across all monsters, at minimum.  Probably more if there's several different monsters, maybe less if it's only one big one.<br/><br/>And here's an ability that an upcoming monster might use...<br/><br/>Lust Pollen (Spell-like Ability)<br/>Target: One creature<br/>Saving throw: Reflex partial<br/>Range: 5 feet<br/>Duration: Special<br/><br/>The target instantly gains 2d6 pleasure (half that on a successful Reflex save) and must make a Will save with a DC equal to her current pleasure.  On a failed save, she is affected as if by a Charm Person spell, regarding the monster as a friend and any grapple attempts made against the target as non-hostile actions; this effect lasts for 1d4 rounds.  In addition, her pleasure does not decrease as normal for 2d4+1 rounds.  On a successful Will save, the target is not charmed, but her pleasure still does not decrease as normal for 2d4+1 rounds.
