If at any time bigger than 4 member parties look like the only way, you could always simply grant your Terrasques additional actions via some form of Action Points, or hell, even minion helper squads.
Mini-Tarrasques?!  bogsnes: That's my thought exactly. I never get to play that high, so I figured this should be fun. It's all about crazy-fun exploits. While still being challenging, of course.  |

Mini-Tarrasques?! Eh, a tarrasque worshiping cult could be fun. Especially if they're a bunch of spellcasters that think the tarrasque is the personification of some forgotten god, or of dimensional anomalies or something equally weird. |

A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?
Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.

I'm happy with any level. I'll go ahead and figure out what I'm going to be once we get some groups together in case there is some obvious role that needs to be filled, there are too many ideas in my head right now.

I was thinking, is there a way to Wild Shape or Polymorph into a Tarrasque? A fullblown Kaiju-battle sounds awesome |

Pacing is very important for this game, so if any of you know you'll be gone for a week or more than a couple days in the middle of a fight, I'd encourage you to leave behind directions for your character. |

I hope there is going to be some sort of hyper dimentional tavern where we can trade tarrasque stories and get drunk...

(maybe you could trade out the illithid's sorcerer casting for wu jen casting?) |

Teaser Update: We're finishing up the rules this evening when I get off work and get home. But in the mean-time here are a couple rules we settled on. Level: 190,000XP (Effectively 20th) Point-buy: 36 points Starting Wealth: 760,000gp Books allowed: By default, no variant rules will be used. Variant Classes and ACF are fair game, though. UA, Gauntlet structure, Banned spells, etc will be forthcoming later. |

I'll bring it up in the next batch of rules discussion. It hadn't crossed my mind before. We'll discuss it when we talk about homebrew stuff.  |
