[QUOTE="Fieari, post: 2758110, member: 16221"] Hey, Upper Krust... a week ago or so there was a thread in the main forum about whether or not Lavos, from Chrono Trigger, was a tarrasque. I thought the resemblence was similar myself, except that I always pictured Lavos as being the size it appears on the map screen... that is to say, as being comparative to the size of an entire city by itself. So I applied the Brobdignagian and Teratoid templates to a tarrasque in order to make a Macro-Large one, and came of with this monster: [url]http://d20npcs.wikicities.com/wiki/Brobdignagian_Teratoid_Tarrasque[/url] The fact that it's so devestatingly powerful kinda dissapoints me a little though, as it becomes an [i]impossible[/i] encounter for anything less than a party of four 256 level characters, and even then it's horrific. Epic literature, however, regularly has heroes fighting such massive creatures though... I mean, like in Chrono Trigger. But the heroes of Chrono Trigger didn't seem to be anywhere near the power of even a single level 256 character. At their peak, I'd hardly put them much into the epic levels. Any thoughts for how to take a massive massive massive creature like that, and still make it possible for less immortal heros to fight it? I suppose you could use stats for a smaller creature, and just DESCRIBE it as being that big, but... Also, didn't you come up with rules for really huge creatures attacking much much smaller ones? I seem to remember something about having it make an area attack when sufficiently large, but I can't find anything like that in the IH preview. [/QUOTE]
