[QUOTE="Wrathamon, post: 6414913, member: 7989"] oh look it has a tower in its hand ... it tosses it in your area. What type of attack is a tower falling from the sky? D&D does have rules for hitting large areas. hmm... sounds like a number of spells that affect and area and we have spells that do this and they appear to be make a save or take damage. 1/2 damage on a miss. I am sure the idea that not all monsters are going to have rules for every weird thing they can do listed. As giant things can knock things over we need to apply DM common sense and modify something for the situation. If a flying archer is pelting the monster with magic arrows ... the monster isnt just going to stand there and go I m a dumb monsters so I am just going to stand here and let you kill me. It is going to either A do something to swat the fly that is irritating it, or B run away from the harassing bee and flee the area, the honey just ain't worth it. If your vision of the Tarrasque is a monster that cant grab things (picture above shows me that isnt the case), then your vision can alter it in anyway you want to allow it to swat flying or really fast characters that it needs to. It has a reallly long tail ... and get smashed into the side of the castle as it turns around. If a player said to me Big T cant toss a tower on me, cause it isnt listed in a stat block, I would show the picture above and say "oh he just smashed a tower and it happen to fly in your direction. It happened to be a vault with an antimagic field inside of it so your flying carpet turns off." Not only did you get hit by a giant tower, and knocked off your magic carpet, your falling and you splat on the ground. And yes its based on a french legend meets godzilla. It has been since it was created. I think they didnt give it a breath weapon cause that was too obvious and it probably made it feel more like a dragon and they didnt want that. [/QUOTE]
