Now, when advancing an epic creature to truley epic levels do you just keep advancing it as any creature under 20 HD? I've never really played epic levels but I do know that when characters advance beyond 20 HD they start using some other method or something.

The Vorpal Tribble 07-07-06, 07:41 PM	You think that's much? You've seen nothing. Yeah, I guess it is only a CR 37, but still...
dok 07-07-06, 08:55 PM	That's not scary. That's just silly. Nope. To make the Tarrasque really scary, go ahead and add 100 HD, and then apply the phrenic template. I'll take psionic dominate with a range of 1100 ft. and a DC of 60+charisma mod against all creatures in a 15 ft. spread. Or just mind thrust for 100d10, Will DC 60+mod to negate. Still not scary enough? Add 5 levels of Hulking Hurler to deal with those pesky flying NPCs; wanna guess how much the tarrasque can lift & throw?
The Vorpal Tribble 07-07-06, 09:11 PM	Naw, this guy says no templates or anything.
Spike_Fightwicky 07-08-06, 08:13 PM	Naw, this guy says no templates or anything. It may seem unbalanced, but for a CR 37 monster, it's lacking many of the things most CR 37 monsters have. - Movement type other than standard walking - DR that will be EASY to overcome at that level - Still no way to deal with airborne creatures (a ranger on a flying carpet with a +6 bow can whittle him down) - No fancy attacks - unlike 99% of monsters by CR 37, it still has to run up and melee the party to death - It is subject to a good lambasting from epic spells Honestly, without templates, this guy is just a walking HP sac that will likely not be able to attack the party (who should all be airborne by level 37)
The Vorpal Tribble 07-08-06, 10:15 PM	*shrugs* I just gave what was asked for. Personally I think those who run games that high are nuts anyways :rolleyes:
Dociere 07-14-06, 08:12 PM	So how'd you figure the CR as 37?
Lord_Canius 07-14-06, 09:26 PM	Still not scary enough? Add 5 levels of Hulking Hurler to deal with those pesky flying NPCs; wanna guess how much the tarrasque can lift & throw? Well, because it has intelligence 3, its allowable for it to have class levels, I suppose. But I wouldn't allow it, simply for the fact that a half-orc could beat the snot out of it, were they on opposed debate teams. Half Orc: Grug demand that opponent use real words in counter-points!! Tarrasque:WWWWRRRAAAAAAARRRWWWW!!!(Knock ing over several acres of forest, due to sonic resonance.) Half Orc: Grug find counter-point acceptable. Or maybe not. Still a funny thought.
