When it comes to those delicate items your opponents are wielding, you're like a Tarrasque in a potion shop. While other disciplines focus on getting you places and killing people, the Domestic Tarrasque discipline helps you get over people and destroy objects. Invented a couple dozen years after the destruction of the Temple of Nine Swords by a rather inattentive Minotaur Warblade, Domestic Tarrasque has acquired quite a cult following by non-murderous warriors and raging madmen.

Game Mechanics of the Domestic Tarrasque

Available To: Any

Discipline Skill: Jump (Str) - The art of flinging yourself through the air is a good starting point when learning to fling yourself through the chair.

Discipline Weapons: Unarmed Strike, Gauntlet, Spiked Gauntlet, Heavy Shield, Heavy Spiked Shield, Warhammer, Greataxe, Greatclub, Primitive Machete, Spiked Hammer, Greathammer, Chainsaw, Tulwar - Masters of the Domestic Tarrasque discipline tend to use either big destructive weapons or their bare hands. 

Saves: 10 + half Initiator level + Strength modifier 

Special: When you use a Domestic Tarrasque maneuver to destroy a magic item, the broken pieces of that item can be used as the materials for creation of other magic items with a total value no greater than the value of the destroyed item.
