SM7: Giant Squid and Constrict Damage


Rules Questions

Grand Lodge

Hi!

Just got to Summon Monster 7 and have a Question about how the Damage of the Giant Squid works, in special the Constrict Damage.

The Giant Squid has:
- (Primary) A Bite +14 (2d6+7)
- (Primary) 2 Arms +14 (1d6+7)
- (Secondary) tentacles +12 (4d6+3/19-20 plus grab)

It can deal Constrict damage (using grab):
- 4d6+10

Where does the 4d6+10 Constrict Damage come from ?

I assume that it comes from the tentacles (as in the Constrict Description) but if, why does it deal +10 Damage and not +3?

Looks like the +10 are the STR x 1,5 Bonus, but i cannot find any reference where this is described. Could also be a special "Giant Squid" Rule, but (another but) if it were so, should it not be written in the Description?

Regards, Calimar.

(love the irony of someone named "Calimar" asking about giant squid)
