The Tarrasque is often depicted with a hunched posture if not actually using its front limbs to walk on, so it is unsurprising that it doesn't have a particularly long reach with them. 15 ft is only just shorter that the area it occupies - equivalent to a human with a longsword that occupies 5 ft and can reach 5 ft.A Tarrasque can kill three T-rexes in little over 10 seconds. That seems plenty dangerous. IIRC all swords did increased damage to larger creatures, and I think bludgeoning weapons like clubs and staves did less. I believe the justification was that the blade of a sword could be driven deeper into a larger creature.[/i]</blockquote>
