    You’d need a magic bow. Or better yet, a bow with the Repeating infusion.

    Also, they improved it in the 2024 version. It has a 150-foot ranged attack and a Burrow speed for if things go sideways. I think they could have done better, but at least you don’t have to worry about Aarakocra poachers driving them to extinction.

      True I forgot that detail. Sacred flame would do fine, as well.

      Those level 1 aarakocran clerics might die by being tapped and falling the whole distance but they’ll bag a tarrasque no problem.

      As for the 2024 Tarrasque, they downgraded it to resistance against physical damage, instead of immunity to nonmagic physical. I mean, it’s nice that it resists magical physical, now, but any source of advantage to cancel the disadvantage of being in long range lets you kill with any bow/crossbow.

      Repeating would still be ideal, for ammo usage, but it needed its regeneration back. At least if you needed 100 aarakocran to start reducing its HP meaningfully, it’d be beyond the scope of “first time player who thought flying sounded cool”.
