Would a tarrasque attack a level 20 sorcerer with the fey bloodline?

I don't see why not.

Yes, a better question is whether Big T could win.

One of the major fluff things about Big T is his insatiable appetite. He eats EVERYTHING.

The Terrasque (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/tarrasque.htm), being a low-INT eternally hungry force of nature, should attack anything that moves. If you have the Fey bloodline, let's give the Terrasque the Half-Fey template. Now we have a flying Terrasque that's immune to the enchantment school (i.e. uncharmable/undominatable), which is at least slightly more of a challenge for a level 20 caster. :smallsmile:

For those that aren't aware. I belive the OP is referencing the level 20 capstone ability for pathfinder sorcerers.



Soul of the Fey (Su): At 20th level, your soul becomes one with the world of the fey. You gain immunity to poison and DR 10/cold iron. Creatures of the animal type do not attack you unless compelled to do so through magic. Once per day, you can cast shadow walk as a spell-like ability using your sorcerer level as your caster level.


And seeing as the Tarrasque is a magical beast...I don't think the power would protect the sorcerer.

Even if it did protect against magical beasts, I'd rule that it would only hold him off as long there's something else in the area besides rocks and trees for him to devour instead. The big guy may be preposterously weak for his CR if you can fly or levitate or even jump really high and turn on an immovable rod, but raw primal hunger is literally his entire deal.

I agree its a destructive engine of nashing teeth.

The question is never whether the Tarrasque will attack something. It is when.

Poor Tarrasque. He gets the Worf Effect on him all the time. For a monster with so much fluff about it being "The Ultimate Engine of Destruction" he goes down to a single Allip. I like the 4th Edition version of him where he has a gravity well around him to prevent fliers and even if somehow he is defeated he simple sinks into the core of the earth to regenerate.

Dude, Ailips are literally made of satan. I don't care if they're low-CR foes, the thought of something that sucks the wisdom directly out of your eyesockets is just hideous.

Tarrasque not care puny man. Tarrasque hungry.
