Thoughts on the Tarrasque

[Jack Mann]

And I could beat him at level 4 (or was it 5?)...with a kobold divine minion. I'm happy that you can put together a level 9 character that can reliably find a way to deal almost 900 points of damage followed by a miracle in one round. the fact that you must optimize to that point probably says something about it's power. Also, any self respecting DM who really wanted to challenge a 20th level party would give the Tarrasque some sort of way to make it be able to deal with flying foes (such as say, templating it to have wings.

My build isn't that cheesy, really. It's cheap in that it doesn't take many resources for what it accomplishes. It''s nothing you couldn't see in actual play.

And the build doesn't do 900 points of damage and it doesn't use miracle or wish. Why would I want to do that? That would kill the Tarrasque.
