  • I had used one as the BBEG in a campaign I ran once. It was strictly for a their tier 4 climax and they had multiple side quests to help get some advantages like overcoming the spell resistance or temporarily stoping the health Regen. However, I also gave the Terrasque a ranged attack, and a few extra abilities so the players couldn’t metagame and fly and kite.

    And they had to figure out a way to trap the monster in a canyon.

    Even still I dropped every PC to 0 health at least once in that encounter before they won. A real nail bitter.

    It was one of the top five boss fights I ever was a part of on either side of the screen.

    It might work like how my table handles the shield spell but in reverse. For example…


    DM rolls attack against Pat’s Tiefling Wizard named Tim.

    DM: I am rolling the goblin’s attack. Pat, what’s Tim’s AC?

    Pat: 15.

    DM rolls a 16. Does not tell anyone.

    DM: Okay, the goblin hits you. I know you have at least one possible reaction, what does Tim do?

    Pat: Tim casts shield! His AC is now 20.

    DM: The attack misses!

    DM then describes to the Party how the goblin arrow slings towards Tim, stopping only when it gets stuck in a last second distortion of abjuration magics.
