The guy's got a Swim check of +15 from his Strength score. That means that even in stormy water, he treads water 20% of the time and successfully swims forward the other 80%, never sinking. How are you expecting to sink him?

Hush you!

I was about to get a literal boatl-load of pie a la mode!

Now you've ruined it...

Didn't your mother ever teach you not to swim for half an hour after devouring sentient creatures?


I wouldn't worry about it. The terrasque in my game got turned into an undead a few hundred years ago. No need to breath.


"Cut me up? Repeatedly? You, sir, are very mean. What did I ever do to you?"
It is all for science ;-) , don't take it personally when heroes try to kill you, it's their job.

How about the sphere of annihilation idea? You really think that your regeneration is stronger than direct divine intervention?

I AM divine interventin. Created by the gods, for the gods' amusement. Divine intervention is inherent in my armor, my flesh, my bones, and my soul.

What? You thought I am a random production of lucky evolution?

Think again. Intelligent design allt he way. You mortals might have evolved from pond scum through luck and happenstance, but not I. Nope, I am god-crafted perfection. A veritable god myself.

Yeah, sure, your petty toy might destroy me temporarily, but I'll be back.

And I'll be angry.

That sounds awful!

Who would want to do such a terrible thing? Unded never sleep - your tarrasque must be rampaging throughout the land all the time, day and night, unstoppable, unsleeping.

How can there be refuge from such an abomination?

That's okay, because by the time that happens I will be dead or a god myself, you won't be my problem, and if you somehow become my problem I will make you go away again.

Use the Half-Celestial or Half-Fiend templates, you'll get +4 instead of +2

I was keeping to the core races, with the exception of lich, which can be acquired by any spellcaster through simple adventuring and item crafting. To my knowledge, you cannot gain the half-celestial/fiend template. You have to be born with it, which means it will require a lenient GM.

I figured I would just post the things that were reasonable obtainable.

If you could be a half-c/f, why not just be a unicorn or something else that gets even more insane bonuses to your spellcasting stat?

Vampire is +4 cha.

Hey, what the crap is this? I just looked up the vampire and it states that they can be any evil, I've seen too many good aligned vampires to accept this, and none of them were glittery... I'll start with The Count from Sesame Street (probably neutral good, but true neutral at worst) and end with Seras Victoria of Hellsing (Lawful Good enough to make it as a paladin, in fact she puts most of the paladins I've seen to shame, which given her setting, is absolutely amazing), none of which had goodness artificially attached to them like Spike or Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

This and the asteroid idea. Much fun.

Lure me out onto a boat? What boat? The USS Enterprise?

Lure me? Appernetly I eat whole kingdoms, so what will you bait your aircraft carrier with to make me want to get out onto it?

Back to the drawing board.

We'll let you wear the nautical themed Pashmina Afghan

really made my day.

Thanks a bunch to both of you(also for the other funny posts). I literally had to lol reading you, and thats seldom.

Either way, i'll accept the ruling that despite being a timed doom that mimics a proper suffocation(also stating at the description of round 3 not that the target dies, but that the target suffocates(okay, sorry, i think this may be wrong. How did i get that idea? It does say die)), it still remains an instant death effect.
Just to clarify, as such, death ward will help against suffocation? Every single save, i guess, not just the last one?

Of course, you could also just duplicate that with a wish. Wish for a sphere of 100 feet around the tarrasques head moving with him that contains no oxygen and lasts for, say, a day? Then he has time to properly suffocate without an instant-death effect? Would that kind of suffocation bypass his regeneration? Or is it just too superior?(not that the automated golems or a sphere of annihilation wouldn't suffice)

Not sphere of annihilation.. BEER of annihilation, you can actually transport it. Well... let's see... 1 minute is 10 rounds, so statistically speaking it will fail that save once every two minutes, staggering it, fail two of them in a row every 40 minutes, and probably die once every 5 days 12 hours and 30 minutes or so.
