Not only that, the tarrasque never fails a saving throw against such an effect, because drowning doesn't offer a save- it offers a Con check.Nothing there indicates that drowning does damage, merely that your hit points drop to 0, then -1, then dead (and it doesn't even specify that you ever hit -10!).Damage is measured in hit points. Drowning is a simple "You're screwed now". But you can't just screw the tarrasque; the only way to slay it is with tons of damage and a wish/miracle.This might seem like splitting hairs- if you want the tarrasque to be an easy kill for epic pcs.</blockquote>
