===(5E) How to Kill the Tarrasque in 1 Easy Level===

*Be an [[Aarakocra]] or winged tiefling cleric, sorcerer, or wizard. Cleric is the optimal choice here, as Sacred Flame is better than Acid Splash and aarakocra get a Wis boost.
*Choose as one of your cantrips either Acid Splash or Sacred Flame (as both require a Dexterity saving throw, and the tarrasque has a +0 Dex save and advantage, it'll fail about 36.1% of the time).
*Fly 85 feet above the tarrasque
*Repeatedly cast your chosen cantrip at it, flying down 25 feet to be in range and then flying 25 feet back up (both cantrips have a range of 60 feet).
*Spend 1 hour blasting away.
*???
*<strike>Win</strike>. <strike>Die, because it's trivial for the Tarrasque to cover 85ft, even vertically, and kill the caster.  The thing is already 50 feet tall, it has a 20ft reach on it's tail, and +10 to all Str skills, that's more than enough to hit a target 85ft away by jumping at it</strike>. Read better. <strike>Win. 85 feet above them, not 85 feet above the ground</strike> <strike>Die again because the Tarrasque can just hold it's action so when you dive down into range it will then jump and get you for sure.</strike> <strike>Win because you can't ready movement (which jumping is) AND an attack. It's one or the other, so the Tarrasque can't reach you. </strike> Lose because the Tarrasque readies an improvised weapon attack with a boulder it ripped out of the ground or something, which RAW does 4d4 damage and a lot more if the DM is logical, and has a max range of 60 feet, and if chimps are smart enough to throw thi gs. The Tarrasque definitely is.
