Domestic Tarrasque (3.5e Martial Discipline)/All Maneuvers
| Domestic Tarrasque (Boost) | |
| Level: | 4 |
|---|---|
| Prerequisite: | Two Domestic Tarrasque Maneuvers |
| Initiation Action: | 1 swift action |
| Range: | Close (25' +5'/2 levels) |
| Target: | One magic item which was destroyed less than 1 round ago |
| Duration: | 5 rounds |
| Saving Throw: | None |
Holding your chainsaw aloft, you catch the swiftly evaporating magical energies of excalibur in time to slice king Arthur in half.
Choose a magic weapon, armor, or shield which was destroyed in the previous round, and a weapon, armor or shield in your possession. Your item gains all the enchantments of the destroyed item for 5 rounds, in addition to any enchantments it already has. For example, if you absorb a destroyed +2 Vorpal Longsword into your +3 Keen Scythe, your Scythe will effectively be a +5 Vorpal Keen Scythe for the next 5 rounds.
No destroyed item may be absorbed more than once through the use of Absorb Enchantment.
This maneuver is supernatural.
| Desert Wind, Domestic Tarrasque (Rush) [Fire, X-Discipline] | |

| Prerequisite: | One Desert Wind Maneuver, One Domestic Tarrasque Maneuver |
| Initiation Action: | 1 move action |
| Range: | Personal |
| Target: | You |
| Duration: | Instantaneous and 1 round |
| Saving Throw: | None |
The wooden boards beneath your feet catch on fire.
Move up to your speed. Any unattended flammable object you pass within 5' of catch on fire, and any unattended mundane metal or stone objects melt. For objects that extend farther than 5' away from you, only the parts of the objects within 5' catch fire. If you were currently on fire, you stop being on fire.
Until the end of your next turn, you cannot catch on fire, do not take damage from burning objects, and may walk on molten metal or lava as though it were ordinary ground.
This maneuver is supernatural.

|---|---|
| Prerequisite: | One Domestic Tarrasque Maneuver |
| Initiation Action: | 1 standard action |
| Range: | Melee attack |
| Target: | Each creature within reach |
| Duration: | Instantaneous |
| Saving Throw: | None |
You assault so enthusiastically that your opponents have to stab to keep you away.
Beg for Pain provokes an attack of opportunity from each creature that threatens you. Then you may make a melee attack against each creature within reach at a -4 penalty to hit. When attacking a creature within reach that could have taken an attack of opportunity but didn't, you don't get the -4 penalty to hit, and instead get a +2d6 bonus to damage.

| Initiation Action: | 1 full-round action |
| Range: | Twice your move speed |
| Target: | One creature |
| Duration: | Instantaneous |
| Saving Throw: | Fortitude negates |
With a brutish chest bump, you knock your target backwards.
Move up to twice your speed (with any movement mode) in a straight line towards your target. Unless that target succeeds on a Fortitude save, they are knocked backwards the remainder of the distance. For example, if you have a 30' fly speed, you could use Billiards Bounce on a creature 40' away, moving up to them, and unless they succeeded on a Fortitude save, they would be knocked backwards 20'.

You dance across the field of the fallen, with the sound of crunching following you in perfect harmony.

With a massive swing, you destroy the wall while gesturing towards the carpenter's shop.
Make an attack against an object; if it's attended, this is a sunder attempt. You get a +2 bonus to your attack roll, and the attack deals 5d6 extra points of damage. When the owner of the object discovers that the object has been destroyed, they must make a Will save. If they fail the Will save, they cannot be displeased in any way about this destruction.

Make a Jump check, and jump a number of feet equal to your check result.
You deal 1d6 points of bludgeoning damage per initiator level to anything in your path. Creatures can make a Reflex save for half damage. Things you successfully break and creatures you reduce to 0 or less health don't interfere with your arrival at your desired destination. Creatures that succeed on their Reflex saves also don't interfere with your travel. You may have this damage be nonlethal, at the cost of a -10 penalty to damage against creatures.

| Initiation Action: | 1 swift action |
| Range: | Personal |
| Target: | You |
| Duration: | Stance |

| Domestic Tarrasque, Infinite Lotus (Strike) [X-Discipline] | |
| Level: | 4 |
|---|---|
| Prerequisite: | One Domestic Tarrasque Maneuver, One Infinite Lotus Maneuver |
| Initiation Action: | 1 standard action |
| Range: | Long (400 ft. +40 ft./level) |
| Target: | One object |
| Duration: | Instantaneous |
| Saving Throw: | Will negates (object) |
The work of the Domestic Tarrasque and the Infinite Lotus couldn't be further apart. However, both are practiced by pragmatic individuals, even if some would consider them both slightly mad. With the complex mathematical arguments against the existence of an object provided by the Infinite Lotus, combined with the raw power of the Domestic Tarrasque's ability to wreck stuff, a technique was created by swordsages that can unmake even very large objects with incredible ease by simply speaking at them. However, the arguments used by the Infinite Lotus Disciples who helped make it are nearly useless against living creatures - you can't share all your secrets, after all.
One object within range weighing up to 200 pounds per level and occupying no more than one contiguous 5' cube per level must make a Will save or completely cease to exist.
This maneuver is supernatural.
| Domestic Tarrasque (Strike) | |
| Level: | 5 |
|---|---|
| Prerequisite: | One Domestic Tarrasque Maneuver |
| Initiation Action: | 1 standard action |
| Range: | Melee attack |
| Target: | One creature's body armor |
| Duration: | Permanent |
| Saving Throw: | None |
With a metallic crunch, the target's breastplate bends inwards.
Make a normal sunder attack against the target's body armor. If the armor would be destroyed, it is instead bent inwards, doubling its armor check penalty, and giving its unmodified armor check penalty as a penalty to the Strength and Dexterity of the wearer. The armor still provides armor class, and its hit points are effectively reset to full. A spell or skill check that can repair this armor removes the effects of Crunching Metal Dent.
| Domestic Tarrasque, Pungeon Pendragon (Strike) [X-Discipline] | |
| Level: | 6 |
|---|---|
| Prerequisite: | One Domestic Tarrasque Maneuver, One Pungeon Pendragon Maneuver |

| Range: | Medium (100 ft. +10 ft./level) |
| Targets: | Up to one creature/level within range |
| Duration: | 1 round/10 points of Truespeak check |
| Saving Throw: | Will negates |
With a bit of truespeaking nonsense and a definite downward slash, you cut the very ability to speak from your victims.
Make a Truespeak check. Each target must make a Will save or lose the ability to speak for a number of rounds equal to the Truespeak check divided by 10.
This maneuver is supernatural.

| Prerequisite: | Three Domestic Tarrasque maneuvers |
| Initiation Action: | 1 full-round action |
| Range: | Melee attack |
| Target: | One creature |
| Duration: | Instantaneous |
| Saving Throw: | None |
You carefully study your opponent before smashing them in a strange glancing arc. As your weapon passes by, a rippling shockwave goes through the opponent's gear, and all of it shatters.
Make a single melee attack against the target. If you hit, deal normal attack damage to each and every item that target is carrying.
| Domestic Tarrasque (Stance) | |

| Duration: | Stance |
| Saving Throw: | None |
With a scornful snort, you knock those pesky halberdiers flat for their insolence at trying to stop you from walking leisurely towards your target.
While you are in this stance, whenever a creature attempts an attack of opportunity against you and misses, that creature is knocked prone.
| Domestic Tarrasque (Rush) | |
| Level: | 4 |
|---|---|
| Prerequisite: | One Domestic Tarrasque maneuver |
| Initiation Action: | 1 move action |
| Range: | Personal |
| Target: | You |
| Duration: | Instantaneous |
| Saving Throw: | None |
You leap gracefully through the air and smash violently through the wall.
Make a Jump check, and jump a number of feet equal to your check result. Use that Jump check as the result of your strength check to break anything in your way. Things you successfully break don't interfere with your arrival at your desired destination.
| Domestic Tarrasque (Strike) | |
| Level: | 3 |
|---|---|
| Initiation Action: | 1 standard action |

| Target: | One creature |
| Duration: | Instantaneous |
| Saving Throw: | Reflex partial |
Your target's eyes open wide as you hit them hard in a soft place, and they forget to hold onto their weapons.
Make a melee attack against the target. If it hits, the attack deals 2d6 extra points of damage, and the target must make a Reflex save or drop everything it's holding.
| Domestic Tarrasque (Strike) | |
| Level: | 6 |
|---|---|
| Prerequisite: | Two Domestic Tarrasque Maneuvers |
| Initiation Action: | 1 standard action |
| Range: | Melee attack |
| Target: | One creature |
| Duration: | Until adjusted |
| Saving Throw: | None |
With a single swing, you rearrange your opponent's headgear for maximum blindness.
Make a normal melee attack against the target. If it hits and they are wearing a Head slot item or Heavy armor, their headgear is lodged over their eyes. They are Blinded until they use a full-round action to make a successful DC 10 Strength check to put their headgear back in place.
| Domestic Tarrasque (Boost) [Sonic] | |
| Level: | 6 |
|---|---|
| Prerequisite: | Two Domestic Tarrasque Maneuvers |
| Initiation Action: | 1 swift action |
| Range: | Personal |
| Area: | All unattended objects and creatures within range when you land. |
| Duration: | Instantaneous |
| Saving Throw: | Reflex partial |
With a moment of concentration, you arrange your body so that your next landing will be particularly loud and violent.
The next time you land from a jump, you create a sonic shockwave out to a distance equal to half the height of the jump. For example, if you jump upwards 30' off a 100' cliff and land at the bottom, the shockwave will hit everything within 65' of the landing zone.
Each other creature or unattended object within range of the shockwave takes 1d8 points of sonic damage per initiator level and is deafened for 3 rounds. Anyone who succeeds on a Reflex save negates the deafness and halves the damage.
If you don't land from any jumps within 1 minute, this maneuver is wasted.
This maneuver is supernatural.
| Domestic Tarrasque (Stance) | |
| Level: | 2 |
|---|---|
| Initiation Action: | 1 swift action |
| Range: | Personal |
| Area: | Destroyed magic items within 30' |
| Duration: | Stance |
| Saving Throw: | None |
The taste of wasted enchantments drives you into a fury. As you slash into your foe's supply closet, each new shiny sword you destroy spurs you onward.
While you are in this stance, you whip yourself into a destructive fury. You get a morale bonus to attack and damage rolls as shown on the table below, depending on the total value of magic items you have destroyed recently. If you go for more than five minutes without increasing your bonus to the next step on the table, the total value for this calculation resets to 0.
| Total Value (gp) | Bonus |

| 200 | +1 |
| 1,200 | +2 |
| 6,000 | +3 |

You bound forwards, hopping onto the chests of anyone in your way.
As part of this maneuver, move twice your speed (with whichever movement mode you desire) in a straight line. You smash through unattended objects and terrain with hardness less than your Jump check modifier without difficulty. Each creature in your way may attempt a Reflex save to get out of your way. Any creatures who fail their Reflex saves are knocked prone, and you deal damage to those creatures' armor equal to your Jump check modifier.

You bring your weapon up to block, and... oops! Looks like he'll need to find something new to fight you with.
Initiate Overenthusiastic Parry immediately after an attack is declared against you, before the attack is rolled. Make a Sunder attempt without provoking an attack of opportunity against the weapon that attack is declared with. If the weapon is destroyed, the attack misses.
| Domestic Tarrasque (Strike) | |

| Initiation Action: | 1 standard action |
| Range: | Melee attack |
| Targets: | One creature and one object in their possession |
| Duration: | Instantaneous |

| Stone Dragon, Domestic Tarrasque, Eternal Glacier (Rush) [Earth, X-Discipline] | |
| Level: | 2 |
|---|---|
| Initiation Action: | 1 move action |
| Range: | Personal |
| Target: | You |
| Duration: | See text |
| Saving Throw: | Reflex half |
Curling up your body, you become like a boulder tumbling down the mountainside, flattening all in your way.
This functions like the mountain avalanche[1] maneuver, except that it can only be initiated while moving down a slope. Once the maneuver is initiated, you cannot take any actions other than move actions at your full speed to continue moving downhill, though you can change your course as long as each space you move into is at a lower elevation than your previous one. The maneuver does not end until you reach the bottom of the slope, you are forced to stop moving by an external effect or status condition, you collide with a solid barrier that you cannot deal sufficient trample damage to destroy, or you succeed on a DC 18 Tumble or Balance check to end it early (you may attempt such a check once per round). If you end up on a flat surface or get forcibly stopped by an external effect or condition, your inertia still carries you forward 3d4×5 feet. If you end up on another slope after rolling along a flat surface, you continue rolling (though you may roll back the way you came if the new slope faces the opposite direction of the old one). If you were forcibly stopped, you end up prone in the space where you stopped moving, and do not resume even if you're on a slope when your movement ends. If you collided with an immovable object, you stop at the location of the collision and take 1d6 damage, plus 1d6 more damage for every 10 feet you moved while rolling during that round, and fall prone. If you stopped yourself with a Balance or Tumble check, you may stop moving at any point within your current move action, and may take any remaining actions for the round normally. You cannot voluntarily end this maneuver unless you succeed on the aforementioned Tumble or Balance check, or otherwise steer yourself into a situation where the maneuver will be terminated.
You flatten all creatures whose space you enter, regardless of whether they are friend or foe, as if performing a trample attack, so long as you entirely occupy the space of the creature in question. Your trample attack deals 1d4+1½ your Str modifier damage, plus 1 damage for every 10 feet you moved during that round (assuming that you're Medium - larger creatures deal more damage and smaller creatures deal less). A creature whose space you partially pass through may either attempt a Reflex save to take half damage (DC = 12 + your Str or Con modifier + your size modifier for grapple/overrun/bull rush attacks) or attempt an attack of opportunity against you. You provoke attacks of opportunity from any creatures whose threatened area you pass through unless you trample them and fully occupy their square (if you partially occupy an enemy's space, the enemy gets a Reflex save or an attack of opportunity, but not both). You may, of course, alter your course to avoid allies or fully collide with enemies, so long as you follow the limits imposed by this maneuver.

You simultaneously hit and miss the rope bridge, and now it's sometimes a collapsed bridge and sometimes a fully functioning bridge
You automatically hit and do maximum damage to the target object. If the object is destroyed, you can now make it switch from destroyed to not destroyed and back again. Switching states is a free action. At the end of the 1 hour duration, you must choose which state it remains in.

| Range: | Centered on you |
| Area: | All objects within 10 ft./point of essentia |
| Duration: | 1 round/3 levels (D) |
| Saving Throw: | Will negates (object) |
You release a pulse of incarnum, infusing everything in the area with it. Objects infused in this way hop, vibrate, and shatter.
Spend some amount of essentia. All objects within the area become infused with this essentia. Each round, every object in the area takes 1 point of damage per initiator level.
In addition, each time a creature enters a square occupied by infused terrain objects, that creature must make a Balance check (DC 20 + initiator level) or fall prone. You are the only creature exempt from this effect, as the objects calm down slightly in your immediate presence.
Unlike most other Essential Cut maneuvers, essentia spent on Soulquake isn't regained until the effect ends.
This maneuver is supernatural.

Make an attack against an unattended object. If the object is destroyed, its pieces spray outwards in a 50' cone, oriented in any direction. All creatures in the cone take 1d10 points of piercing damage per initiator level, with a Reflex save for half damage.

| Duration: | Instantaneous |
