[QUOTE="James the Newbie, post: 5949831, member: 6692006"] I think people are taking the wrong approach here. Is it possible to refute that drowning can do lethal damage to the tarrasque? No defiantly not, that would utterly ignore the rules. However the rules do say [B]Effect[/B]: I would defiantly class drowning as an effect. And while it could be argued that drowning wouldn't kill it instantly, it would certainly kill it in three rounds, logically drowning it should work the same way. then we have So you still need mirical or wish, but drowning almost definatly pushes the tarrasque down to its -10 hit points. This means that drowning is a very viable option. --- Edit: Also as you haven't killed the tarrasque, and each sucessive round it should be suffering the same effect the 40 health it heals should be outweighed by the full normal hit points it has. As it fails its saving throw against drowning every round. this means every 6 seconds it is under water is 868 more health it needs to heal. While not dead, it is quite surly trapped for two muinits and 6 seconds, every six seconds. By trapping it for say an hour you have in fact made it take another 21 hours to regenerate. So by trapping it for a day you make it take 504 hours to regen or roughly 24 days. I could go on, but you can be pretty certain that if you manage this, you have doomed it. [/QUOTE]
