Message: <blockquote data-quote="dvvega" data-source="post: 117183" data-attributes="member: 524">To bring hope to those would-be Tarrasque killers:I wrote to Monte Cook a while ago, asking about the Tarrasque, and he wrote Skip Williams. The question was basically regarding what someone here already noted, you can't get someone to -30 if they only take subdual damage. You can't even get them to negative hit points at all. It cannot be killed by normal means, all "death spells" set it at -10 hit points and then it regenerates from there.The answer came back as:===You're right. That doesn't make sense. So I contacted Skip Williams (the writer of said beast). He says that the tarrasque's entry should be changed to this:Regeneration (Ex): No form of attack deals normal damage to the tarrasque. The tarrasque regenerates even if disintegrated or slain with death magic: These attack forms merely knock it unconscious and set its total subdual damage to 850 points (unless it already has more subdual damage than that).It is immune to effects that produce incurable or bleeding wounds, such as a sword of wounding, mummy rot, or a clay golem's wound ability. The tarrasque can be permanently slain only by raising its subdual damage total to 870points and using a wish or miracle spell to keep it dead.====Basically you need only a wish and lots of damage capacity.</blockquote>
