Be the Tarrasque!

I just feasted my eyes on this thread (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=235689), and I suddenly had two questions.

1. What other ways are there to be a Tarrasque?

2. What kind of shenanigans could you get up to, being a Tarrasque?

1. What other ways are there to be a Tarrasque?

True mind switch with a hagunemnon (is that really how it's spelled?) and use its abilities to take on the appearance and most significant aspects of the Tarrasque.
Reserves of Strength Shapechange to remove the CL cap.

Probably a lot of others.


2. What kind of shenanigans could you get up to, being a Tarrasque?

Well, mostly having enormous NA and ridiculously good regeneration.

May need to do some serious size-shrinkage to really be useful, but fortunately Psions can get compression pretty easily to go back down to Huge.

kill epic level parties. i do not care what the cr says, it is way higher than 20, and i have seen plenty of epic parties struggle to take it down so have fun, rule the world! the best they can do is wisdom drain you to becoming unconcious

Or, you know, fly.

your still a manifester, you can still use your powers, that doesnt work.

Before we all go crazy here:

I think Iceman means that a Tarrasque with full manifesting is quite a dangerous opponent.

True, I was referring to the 'regular' Tarrasque which is tough to kill but by flying you neutralise it's ability to harm you almost entirely. Bit of a shame really.

Isn't that why it has the antiflying aura?

that does work, but not the fastest way to bring it down.

That's why 4e gave it one, yeah. It's a bit underwhelming in that edition as well, however, and this is the 3.X forum.

Of course, there is one other way (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8Ra1ecLhtI) of defeating the tarrasque...
