Re: Tartanians
Uhh... ok clearly you have not been savaged by Tartarians yet so allow me to shed some light on the subject. Tartarians are, for all intents and purposes, like mini-Pretenders. They have great HP, good abilities (being undead mostly), and have magic paths. This means that they can do... well basically anything.
For spellcasting they have easy access to various devastating battle spells: Fog Warriors, Army of Gold/Lead, Rain of Stones, Earthquake, Weapons of Sharpness - the list goes on. The ability to cast any one of these spells utterly blows away the Tarasque in value. But wait, theres more!
Not to mention thier magical prowess, Tarts also make tremendously good SC chasis. They have full slots, are undead so no Encumbrance and various resists, and have great HP. If you dont know the standard SC loadouts, then take this anti-personnel one for example: Frost Brand, Lucky Coin, S.Skullcap, Jade Armor, Flying Boots, RoR, AmA. Again, since you dont appear to have used SCs much, note how extra value is gained from the full slots not only from Flying (which is insanely useful in combat and out) but also the ability to modularly switch out your weapons to get the most bang for your buck - whereas the Tarasque is just forced to bite people or whatever its attack is.
And if that wasnt enough, most Tarts have paths which are awesome for buffing, too! So you can cast whatever of that variety of spells you have available out-of-the-box: Mistform, Invulnerability, Soul Vortex, etc. This makes an already good chasis even more powerful.
