Eight-Bit · « **Reply #212 on:** September 19, 2006, 07:33:13 am »

So, about the Tarrasque...

Does it have it's own model? I'm curious what the Layonara take on one of DnD's most powerful critters is.

Leanthar · « **Reply #213 on:** September 19, 2006, 07:35:25 am »

I have not seen the creature in action so do not know what it is set up like. But I am with you on the statement 8bit. It should by its very nature be the walking terror of the server....nobody in my PnP games ever beat one but they did get it plane shifted off the prime....however...hehe.. well the rest is another story.

Dorganath · « **Reply #214 on:** September 19, 2006, 07:55:02 am »

The tarrasque has its own model...and it's HUUUUUUGE

D Blaze · « **Reply #215 on:** September 19, 2006, 08:16:57 am »

Bigger than a breadbox?

LoganGrimnar · « **Reply #216 on:** September 19, 2006, 08:34:48 am »

Did you use the model i sent like.. a year back now? That one as about twice the hight of a dragon.. crazy.

Dorganath · « **Reply #217 on:** September 19, 2006, 08:47:07 am »

I have no clue which model you sent a year ago, so I can't answer that.
And much bigger than a bread box.

LoganGrimnar · « **Reply #218 on:** September 19, 2006, 12:24:27 pm »

heh.. okay good point, i asked about the Tarrasque ages ago, and L said something about get the model made. So i got it and sent it to him, cant wait to see how it looks IG though, just hope it dosent eat me first!

Dorganath · « **Reply #219 on:** September 19, 2006, 12:33:30 pm »

Ahh...The model is from the vault.
If you want to see what it looks like, you can fire up your own toolset, associate the Layo HAKs with the module and make a creature with the Tarrasque appearance type.
