[QUOTE="Ellie_the_Elf, post: 1842579, member: 17018"] Hi all, My PCs (all 18th-20th level) have recently learned the Tarrasque is due to wake up some time in the next few days and are preparing to go and fight it.. I've just learned of their new plan for killing the thing, and am not sure if it would work- can anyone clear this one up? Their basic plan is to use limited wishes from one caster to reduce it's will save, then another caster will attempt to possess it using magic jar. They are capable to repeating this several times if the first attempt fails (I've calculated they'll have a 50/50 chance of Big T failing their DC for the magic jar, once it's save is lowered but they don't know that) Once they've managed to possess it, the possessing mage plans to voluntarily lower 'his' (ie the tarrasques) spell resistance and then stand doing nothing, allowing the party to throw everything they've got at it. Now I can't see anything in the rules that would prevent this from working...is there something I'm missing? Also where does spell resistance come in with magic jar- is it rolled when possession is attempted? We are still playing 3.0 if that affects things at all. I would appreciate any help anyone can give on this :) Leisa. [/QUOTE]
