04-24-06, 02:31 PM OK, before anyone flips out I have 2 words EPIC...LEVEL.

I had a game that was about 25th level, and my PCs where going to try to take down some big bad assess in the outer plans. I came up with an idea...
The Armageddon Brigade:

Back-story: around level 10 or 12 the party went after 2 artifact swords. The Divine Blades: One named Dragon, the other named Phoenix. They were the legendary weapons of the great heroes who helped destroyed the tarrasqu 5,000 year ago. They beat it, their friend wished it, and it died.
Now because it had done so much evil it went to hell. The demon lords saw it and said "WEAPON!!!!" So a bunch of Devil lords and evil Arcmage took it and created a race of them. Human size, unstoppable killing machines.
24 of them were made, 18 identical super soldiers, and 6 specialists. They are the ultimate weapons against good. Birthed from the trasque and trained by balors.
They are dark Grey with obsidian carapace, and sharp jagged obsidian claws.
The 18: 48HD Magical beasts (Exterplanar) 12th level blackguard
HP 1,600 60D10+1140
AC 46 (w/ greater mage armor &+4 ring def)
DR: 20/Epic, Holy and Adamantine
Saves Fort 55 Ref 47 Will 38
str 48 Dex 24 Con 40 Int 6 Wis 14 Cha 18

Punches as per full attack with 2 weapons 1D12 damage (+2D6 unholy and 1pt wounding) 18+/x3 crit

30% reflect any ray or missile spell or psi power
Sr/Pr 40

Regen 40 (a wish or miracle can be used to shut down the regen for 30 min per caster level, if it dies during that time it stays dead, the only other thing that does real damage are the Divine swords)

Immune to Mind effects, Fire, Poison, Diseases, Energy drain, ability damage, and Stun effects.

Feats: Wild talent Weapon focus punch, Vile martial strike punch, Combat reflexes, Power attack, Cleave, great cleave, Imp imitative, Awesome blow, Iron will, Two weapon fighting, sunder, Epic toughness x8 superior initiative, Psionic fist, greater Psionic fist

The CR on this I gave was a 30 base 19 treasure double HD=+2 so 21, plus 3/4 of class level (Because the black guard didn't really feel it should add as +1 per sorry) so 30cr.

This was meant for 1 of them to be encountered alone and give the PCs a really big challenge, then for them to find out about them (They have an archivist that researches in the city of union and at Baccobs plan)

what does everyone think???

04-24-06, 03:08 PM At int 2 it can't be evil or have a class, sorry but RAW says no. If DM says "so what?" then RAW can sulk in a corner but thats another topic.

04-24-06, 03:27 PM It wasn't that it was evil that sent it to hell, but the amount of people killed and things destroyed made it a shoe in to go there, and they are NOT really tarasques but a new mediam sized creature that is based on it

So? Technically every PC goes to hell under this...including the goody goody paladin ... PCs=collerateral damage caused in some way, unless they're being specifically careful or an exalted party (which may well amount to the same thing).
Point is the Tarrasque shouldn't technically go to hell (blows open your idea, but the alternative is several potentially depressed PCs, after discovering that for having killed things/been a part of civialsation they go to hell...)
