[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9063270, member: 7035894"] Against a Tarrasque? You tell me - it depends on what spells the wizard has prepared and a level 20 has a lot of options, but most of them would involve escaping in this scenario. If the Tarrasque gets to him the wizard likely dies in one round. Its base damage is 184, and the Wizard won't have much to reduce it - shield spell is not gonna help a whole lot. Their best bet is to wish to be someplace else. The fighter doesn't need to prepare anything special for the encounter. But even if the wizard had access to every spell in the game and knew they would be fighting a tarrasque, this would be a very tough fight. Maybe true polymorph into a dragon, fly back and forth waiting for breath to recharge, and sloooowly wear it down? That would work until it found cover. There are a lot of spells that could mess with it, but killing it before you run out of options and it kills you would be tough, given its various innate magic resistances and legendary resistances. Reverse Gravity would be fun; there's no save against the initial effect, but falling 50' would barely scratch the beast. A level 20 wizard has a lot of strengths but soloing a tarrasque would be a very tall order. [/QUOTE]
