I'd say give it a fast burrow speed, and the ability to lunge out of the ground like an orca so it can hide from flying guys then eat them midair.

Well, Flying guys would lose the concentration to maintain flight the second they saw the Tarrasque so flying people are probably less likely.

It could still use something like: "entropic field: all ranged attacks and spells that target the tarrasque and/or any space around it within 200 ft, that originate further than 50 ft away from the tarrasque (or whatever space is targeted instead), scatter harmlessly at it's feet or dissipate harmlessly into nothingness. Any flying creature or object of any sort, with any means of mundane or magical flight, that comes within 200' of the tarrasque, is limited to only flying 20' off the ground. Flying creatures above 20' that enter the area immediately fall, but can recover harmlessly at 20 feet." Alternatively: "Durable carapace: the tarrasque is completely immune to all spells and attacks of any sort that do not target it's (relatively) soft underbelly. The carapace completely blocks line of sight to the vulnerable belly from all directions except a cone projecting straight down from the centre of the tarrasques space, which on the ground extends to a radius of 30 feet around the tarrasque".

Covok posted:Yeah, I forgot add that line in. Whoops. RE: Horrific Visage, one of the lessons Call of Cthulhu has taught me is that RPG players are perfectly willing to strategically blindfold themselves to avoid line of sight effects. Maybe add in something natural language-y like "Any creature that could have line of sight and is aware of... ." The multiattack action seems clunky to me. I wouldn't want to keep track of 4 different attacks each with slightly different to hit bonuses and slightly different damage expressions. Can I suggest folding Frightful Presence into Horrific Visage and replacing the bite/horn/claw/tail retinue with a single melee attack like "Eater of Worlds: +20 to hit, 20 feet reach, one target. Hit: 4d10+10 damage, and the target is grappled in the Tarrasque's maw (escape DC:20), if the target was already grappled they are instead swallowed." And then replace multiattack with something like"Rampage: The Tarrasque moves it's speed, and makes up to 5 Eater of Worlds attacks at any point during this movement." I mean, whatever, just so long as I wouldn't have to track that many different kinds of attacks.

Just give it an inhale action. As a legendary action it can pull any target it can see towards it by 200', half on save (str, hard). Take away the blind thing as well. Give it loving truesight, let it see everything. Yes, that includes the moon. Even thinking about making the Tarrasque believe the moon is edible is enough to make a number of Gods very interested in your personal well-being.

Well, the multiattack is unaltered from the core Tarrasque and good point of horrific visage.

Covok posted:Well, the multiattack is unaltered from the core Tarrasque and good point of horrific visage. I should have known! On reflection the Tarrasque's melee ability should be replaced with an Aura that lets it make a free melee attack when someone gets/ starts their turn within 20 or 30 feet. It's actual attack actions should be stuff like "Destroy a huge piece of scenery and then throw it at someone," "Leap into the air, biting something flying within 500 feet, and then drag it back to earth," or "Release a wave of pure entropic anti-magic that makes spell slots explode out of everyone's head."

Yeah the Tarrasque should be able to rip up the ground and scenery and use it as missiles.

Quick note the Terraque has Blind Sight but it is not blind itself. For the Monster Manual one if you get within 120 ft of it it is aware of you. It is not Blind beyond that radius. Sage Genesis posted:

Playing 5E at PAX this weekend has sold me on the concept of organized play (and thus, 5E) although I probably won't try to get a consistent group together. The modules I ran at PAX got my lovely wizard up to 3rd level and I'm actually invested in getting more XP. How well has organized play worked out so far, with this downtime/renown/whatever stuff?

I had one particularly problematic rules lawyer. Most of the time I could deal with him by just firmly telling him "no", like I was dealing with a small child. The rest of the time I relied on the loosely written "natural language" rules and my two years as a litigation attorney to out rules lawyer him until he accepted the futility of the effort.

Draw up a rules lawyer licence. Then citizens's arrest him for rules lawyering without a licence. If he argues with you just keep pointing at your licence like that cgi wizard with the chalkboard.
