[QUOTE="Fralex, post: 6460452, member: 6785902"] Well, I think it's reasonable to expect someone who suddenly views the TARRASQUE in the most frightening light possible and is unable to push back their abject terror would probably have a hard time concentrating. This is covered under the part mentioning the DM may require other distracting events to require Constitution saves to maintain a spell effect. While I wouldn't make Frightful Prescence have a chance of disrupting concentration as a constant [I]rule[/I], I think it's safe to say the sort of fear a legendary guargantuan CR 30 monstrosity would inspire in a mere level 5 wizard would be pretty intense all on its own. And then it has a special ability where it actually [I]tries[/I] to be as scary as possible? I don't think a player in that situation would dissagree with the DM's ruling. If the wizard did not make her save against the fear effect in the last test, she still might just manage to hold herself together enough to keep flying. What I do think is clear so far from these tests is that you can really only call killing the Tarrasque in this manner a victory if you're some crazy big game hunter who just wants to, I dunno, mount its horns on her mantle. If you're an adventurer, it's a safe bet that your goal is to prevent the Tarrasque from destroying everything. You can't win against it as an adventurer with these methods. I [I]do[/I] plan to continue my tests, though, because all this speculation made me curious. The third wizard is still hanging in there! Let's see if she can succeed where her predecessors did not!
