In my homebrew world, Tarrasques live in the deepest pit of hell where they watch over space prison. They can talk to and sense any creature in this space prison, and are actually decently chill. The problem is they were decreed by the Gods to guard the prison forever, as they are the last of the First Races, the first races who ever lived that were massive and almost all died out. If they ever leave, they lose their minds incredibly quickly (like dragons from the astral plane) and start rampaging, losing their ability to telepathically communicate.

[@Aplesedjr]

Willian Cruz I’ve heard of a great many campaigns centered around the tarrasque, so I guess it’s just personal experience. Also, it really depends on what is considered a noble. Is it anyone with power? That’s a lot of people, so it’s extremely likely that most campaigns will have some. Someone born into the position?

i believe CR should be changed from "challenge rating" to "Combat Rating," as the number is only referring to if you got into a physical fight with the monster and not how the monster would interact with his daily life, that part is up to the GM's imagination. Combat is easy to focus on and streamline as most monsters of the same type will fight similarly. Meanwhile, out of combat, they might have different social standings or a cursed weapon, something outside of the stat block that would make them more or less dangerous.

In previous editions, the Tarrasque also had regeneration, a high damage reduction that could only be bypassed epic weapons (the total value of its enchantments went up to 6 or more, so you had to ask a Balor if you could borrow its +1 Vorpal Sword), and the only way to kill it was to cast a Wish or Miracle Spell while its hitpoints were at -10 in the split second before its next turn started and regeneration kicked in.

I don't have a crippling Dice Addiction, actually, because I mostly play online on Roll20

[@patheronaetherson2860]

If your dice bag doesn't have at least 8 sets of dice, are you really a d&d player?

The tarrasque. You can easily get rid of a noble by luring him into a room with a lever mounted on the wall opposite from the entrance. What that lever does is up to you but make sure it is suitably !FUN! for the noble. The tarrasque on the otherhand can only be dealt with by DM fiat or by wish.

I remember running the Mistborn tabletop system once. Noble is literally its own race for the reasons described in this video. Seriously, it really surprises me how little nobles and politics are utilized as a form of danger by DM's. I did like the Mistborn system of having three different health bars to encapsulate this idea, and think the idea of Social Reputation should be worked into dnd in some way. I mean, not all the time, but like an optional rule mechanic is something DM's should totally be allowed to do by saying to the party "This is your Reputation health bar. If you fuck with a noble, they will attack it in some way over time." Hell, technically if money is really no object for a high ranking enough noble, equipping a major city's army with enough magic arrows to shoot at the Tarrasque can kill the thing. We calculated out once how a level 20 wizard necromancer in dnd can use just their undead army of skeleton archers equipped with magic arrows, how many die each turn, and how much money it all costs. And the answer is....not as much as you think lol. Now imagine instead of shitty skeleton archers, you instead have an army of trained soldiers. Yeah. Maybe the Tarrasque is a HUGE challenge for a party, but numbers win in dnd. That's just how it is.

Two of the nobles in my campaign had to flee the country after being caught by the party that snuck into their home, in response he and his wife furthered their aid of an unknown entity and even looked into the ability to become immortal via lichdom, after time the party discovered the wife, who ran immediately and they faced a boneclaw. 8 levels later they encounter her again and destroy her original body activating her ritual, she reformed as a lich and attacked, after a tense fight they destroyed her and realized there were disgusting vile decrepit like bodies of different sizes in the ornate jars around the room, they destroyed them all, but didn't realize the phylactery was left unharmed in the center of the magical circle of the room a simple ruby amulet, later on they faced the lord who was an even more powerful lich which had taken a lone path rather than taking knowledge from a previous liches life like his wife. He managed to put down half the party before having to escape and rethink his plans, their original contractor in the back of their minds still unknown. The party expects to see them again, as their rogue was cursed with a powerful spell that will take time to remove. They've been a part of the campaign since lvl 3 when the party went on their first big boy quest to investigate the local nobles, and i plan on them continuing their revenge for as long as they can!

In the SKT book, Liffelas does not have a challenge rating, he has an NPC statblock that doesn’t list CR, it appears that the program you have just defaults to giving no CR a CR0.

Tarrasque is why it's so easy to gain the power of flight in 5e, that is a monster you NEVER fight on their level.

Mixing up gameplay is generally a good idea. After my party turned a werewolf into paint I make finding its mate a big game of cludo, took 3 in game months and 9 dead villagers. Its how I've run werewolves ever since, as opportunistic ambush predators who hide in crowds. Parties either get hit when they're weak then they play werebeast wackamole in the nearest village until they feel safe.

The Tarrasque's defeat gives you a lot of XP once. The Noble's defeat gives you a steady stream of XP in the form of guards, law enforcement, bounty hunters, tax collectors, soldiers, assassins, and so forth. The Tarrasque is a nice trophy, but the Noble's death is an investment that keeps on paying as long as you have the moral compass of a Tasmanian Devil with a Tooth Ache.

[@lordsplashingtontheiii6778]

5e Tarrasque sounds scary until you realize a level 1 character with a horse could kill it as long as they had enough magic arrows.

[@ProfessorVuubik]

Depends- are you fighting the forgotten Realms tarrasque that singlehandedy slaughtered combined dragonflights of both Chromatic & Mettalic in an attempt to stop it- bring piloted by a mad cultist, or your generic monster manual tarrasque? Best use of the creature is it’s beefed up dragon magazine statblock- including the 1d1000 shell diamonds reward, and a preliminary fight with a tarrasque cultist from one of the monster cult dragon magazine articles- butter it up with the return of the beast cultist trying to awaken the beast by killing dragons to summon it- and you’ve a small adventure to take on- there’s also the introduction of a tarrasque stomach dungeon you can add to the mix if I recall.

Can confirm Tarrasque is annihilated by 4 lvl 14 adventurers.

[@psychospeech6189]

Ok so its funny you made this vid as the last campaign I had a Noble turn into a Tarrasque

[@ASquared544]

On the topic of Tarasques, did you know that Tarasques are monstrosities? And they have an exact intelligence of 3? Did you also know that the Mark of Handling in the Eberron setting allows you to cast Animal Friendship? On monstrosities? With Intelligences of 3 or less?

[@Mare_Man]

A single clay golem can take out the Tarrasque, provided Big T decides to just... Not walk away from it.

[@abyssGazerTV]

A noble can hire a wizard to transform the both of them into two tarrasques.

[@gepapa3633]

What I got from this video is that if you want to kill a tarrasque you first teleport it onto the city of the nobel you want to kill take a long rest and then go fight it so you are seen as a hero. Thanks for the advice!

[@watcherofsomething7439]

"Can do more damage than a Tarrasque in its mortal lifetime." What mortal lifetimes these things are basically imune to death.

Thanks for the code, I've been looking for a good dice set for a new campaign I'm in and dice apps just ain't cutting it

[@classarank7youtubeherokeyb63]

I saw a reddit post a while ago that did some math. If we assume that a max level fighter has enough magic gear to ensure that he never gets hit by normal people unless they roll a natural 20, it still would only take around 400 archers with longbows dealing average damage to kill him in one round. You'd need a lot more for the tarrasque, but a large city has thousands of soldiers.

[@arbiterskiss6692]

I have homebrewed tarraques that are slightly taller than horses, same proportions as their legendary selves, and domesticated. A tarraque would not be out of place in a quarry or under a noble for a daily stroll. I love these monsters, they deserve more love, and a lot more homebrewing.
