I know I certainty would be caught off guard if I was attacked by a cartwheeling Tarrasque.

*googles images to double check* Eeh, blade to handle ratio is a little different and blade shapes don't seem very similar. Plus they're used completely differently from each other, so not entirely a fair comparison.

Eeh, I don't really buy that explanation. Smaller things can very easily resemble larger things. Small and large rocks, small and large cats, small and large people, varying sizes of rubber band balls, etc.

With the square/cube law being what it is, the Tarrasque should be lucky he can even walk, much less overhand throw hillsides.

Problem is, going this way just opens a can of worms. For example, Cavalier Bob's Glaive resembles a Barbed Devil's Glaive, so he can "improvise" their Glaive attack for 5 extra damage on each of the enemy's turns.

Apparently I was mistaken. Though strictly RAW is dumber than I thought. Improvised weapons that don't resemble other weapons deal only 1d4 damage. So the Tarrasque and Wizard are both going to be pinpricking each other to death, when the Tarrasque can even reach the Wizard since improvised...

A houserule that I honestly agree with. Another thing I suggested elsewhere was giving the Tarrasque the ability to treat any improvised thrown weapon as having the Thrown property, so he can throw rocks, cows, chunks of building, each other, etc. That said, it's still a houserule, and I try to...

Last I checked, the Tarrasque can't fly, so as soon as his upward movement ends, he falls down and then gets his attack.

For weapons with the Thrown property and monster abilities that specifically use Strength. Normally, chucking improvised weapons falls under Dex.

If you're going strictly by what the rules say, good luck hitting anything with that Dexterity score.

Surprised the easy exploit hasn't been pointed out here yet. Fly+Acid Splash=Killed by acidic pinpricks. Garbage Dex save, Acid Splash is unaffected by Reflective Carapace, and the Tarrasque has no way to handle flyers outside of houserules. A couple level 5 Wizards(at minimum, higher...

Awesome. I suppose spells doing damage on a successful save is next on the chopping block then?

One note for Pathfinder(though I blame this mostly on it being a 3.5 derivative) is to take CR rating with a hefty grain of salt. CR in 3.5 was very badly designed and a creature's CR and actual difficulty were at best very tangentially-related. For example, the Monstrous Crab(nicknamed "That...
