If we somehow manage to win a plot rail fight, what happens?

[Xantalos]

Why yes, yes it does!

Remember the 60th-level Unseelie Sidhe Wizard-Lord? He'll show up and ensure hilarity ensues. And yes, he's since gained levels; it's been a few hundred years since the WotG and he's had plenty of time to do so.

Oh dear.
...
Does he get bonuses on speech?

[Maxinum McDreich]

Oh gosh, yeah, he may speak to us to death! It's the greatest weapon he has! PLEASE SAY HE HAS NO BONUS TO SPEECH!!!

[Xantalos]

Trust me, this may be important.

[Remuthra]

Who exactly is this mage?

[Xanmyral]

Haha, thanks for the rules post Ross. After reading through the armor spoiler, seems I did make a good decision to sink two feats into not having armor affect Jewel's movement. Nimble armor tank ahoy! (Well, as nimble as Jewel already is, which isn't that nimble honestly)


EDIT: Remurtha: The mage was talked about by Ross when he mentioned how a deity got erased from existence. It was with the discussion of "how to kill a deity."

[Ross Vernal]

Oh dear.
...
Does he get bonuses on speech?

Yes, (s)he does.

Who exactly is this mage?

Rhoslyn "Ross" Amadeus Vernal, the Unseelie Erlking and the Lord of Spring. A powerful wizard, the first/last/only Retconjurer (there can only be one), and the Battlepope of the Godking.

Before you ask, no, (s)he isn't the most powerful non-deity figure in the universe, and yes, that is the origin of my username. No, (s)he is not Sexy Fantasy Wish Fulfillment Me.

[Xantalos]

Hmm.
Well, in the case that I ever meet him, the only thing that I can see me doing that will come out with me victorious is ... actually, I'll try to figure out how I'd do it first.
Then I'll keep it a secret.

[Xanmyral]

That all depends on if you'd actually see 'em. I imagine its akin to seeing the wizard in Ross' other game, the chance is there but hilariously slim if only to be a funny thought that it could happen, but never really will. Unless it does.

[Xantalos]

Of course, my plot kinda exploits that.

[Ross Vernal]

Throw rock salt at him/her to disrupt the Sidhe magic, and have a 100% mundane, cold-forged iron weapon on hand. Or at least, a good iron skillet.

That will actually cause you to start dealing damage, assuming you break through his/her epic-level damage absorption.

Spoiler: You're Fucked Because (click to show/hide)

His/her innate soak is at LEAST 5 Slashing, 5 Piercing, 5 Bludgeoning, 5 Ballistic, 8 Fire, 8 Cold, 6 Electrical, 6 Acid, 4 Holy, 4 Unholy, 7 Death, 7 Magic, 6 Auric/Psychic, and 2 Unblockable; (s)he does know how to add another +14 to that for at least 100 rounds of combat, how to brew Potions of Immunity to all non-physical / magical / auric/psychic / unblockable damage, AND how to loophole "Innate armor does not stack with worn armor" rules.

[Xantalos]

Yeah, I'm not even considering fighting him/her.
Is s/he actually the legit Erlking?

[Remuthra]

What if we use magic to immobilize him without actually affecting him directly, such that his resist doesn't trigger, then perform physical attacks taking advantage of attacking a helpless opponent?

[Xanmyral]

Hm, yeah I did notice that all resists and so such deal with Damage, but nothing deals with debilitating effects like, say, being made immobile, or asleep, or whatever. I figure though that resistance to such is brought about by stats though, or some items and so such. Wouldn't be surprised if there was something akin to a "freedom of movement" enchantment in this universe, along with "immunity to mind control" also.

Man, these psuedoedits have a long window.

[Remuthra]

Ah, but if we don't actually cast the spell on him, but rather on the area around him but not where he is, it's reasonable to assume he wouldn't get a save. If time is slowed to a crawl in an area spanning from three to fourteen inches away from him, he still can't defend, but he can still move all he wants.
