The creature with the highest published Challenge Rating (CR) in Dungeons & Dragons is the Great Wyrm Time Dragon, with a massive CR of 90, appearing in Dragon Magazine #359 (3.5 Edition), significantly surpassing the iconic Tarrasque (CR 30 in 5e).

What is the maximum CR in D&D?

The highest official Challenge Rating (CR) in modern D&D (5th Edition) is CR 30, shared by god-tier monsters like the Tarrasque and Tiamat, but older editions (like 3.5) featured absurdly high CRs, with the Great Wyrm Time Dragon reaching a legendary CR of 90. In 5e, anything above CR 30 is generally considered powerful homebrew, though some third-party or specific official content pushes these boundaries slightly, like a CR 32 gargantuan construct in Eberron.

The monster with the highest base Armor Class (AC) in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition is the Tarrasque, sitting at a formidable AC 25, a score also shared by Tiamat in some sources, making them nearly untouchable for most adventurers.

What CR is a level 20 character?

A Level 20 D&D character's Challenge Rating (CR) isn't fixed but generally falls between CR 12 (for weaker builds) and CR 16-19, with powerful ones potentially reaching CR 20 or higher, depending heavily on magic items, feats, class, and optimization, as PCs have more resources (items, spells) than standard monsters. For example, an optimized Level 20 Wizard with powerful magic items might rival a CR 30 Tarrasque in sheer destructive power, while a simple Level 20 Fighter might be closer to a CR 12-14 in solo combat.

What is more powerful than a Tarrasque?

There's the gods, and Tiamat has an official 5e stat block. More well-rounded and powerful than the Tarrasque, I'd say. Then there's the older Tarrasque. The 5e one is weak and puny compared to the older edition ones, so those are stronger.
