Point being, I'm assuming Ross is giving us his stats from when he fought that god. He's had a few hundred years to level up by now; he's probably on the level of an optimized 20th level D&D Wizard.

Even they are vulnerable to Coup De Graces. If we can just immobilize him temporarily, we can stab him through the eye or slit his throat.

why on earth are we discussing such trivialities when we panic facing 30 bandits?

See, the problem is immobilizing them when these guys attack by sniping you with a magical RAILGUN fired from another dimension accessible only to them and if you ever do defeat them it turns out that that was only an astral projection of them, so you never fight the real wizard.

We could make magic cloaks of invisibility.

I'm honestly not sure why we're trying to figure out how to kill the guy when I highly doubt we'd even see him. Maybe hear about him, yeah, but honestly if he's the Prince of Spring he's not just gonna be walking around, he's got responsibilities and shit-to-do. Personally, I say just be thankful he isn't the Prince of Winter, really don't want to know who that guy is. Or girl. Or thing, its most likely a thing.

[Remuthra]

Because he's the author insert and also because we have a duty as players to find the guy you're not supposed to be able to kill and kill him.

[Xanmyral]

Wait, but... *Flips through a few pages in the Great Adventurer's Handbook^TM*

...Right, sorry about that, forgot that rule. Carry on. I think the biggest problem would be him being a Retconjurer, does that mean he can Retcon things outta existence? Or into? Or something like that?

[Ross Vernal]

Ross is the straight-up ruler of the Spring Court, and is one of the two Monarchs of the Unseelie Court. The Erlking of Spring to the Maeve of Winter, if you will.  The Maeve is his/her (female) cousin, and (s)he's partially responsible for the chain of events that lead to the death of the previous Maeve that set the current Maeve on the Winter Throne. His/Her second-oldest daughter is the heir to the Winter Throne, actually.

Also, like I said, Ross is not Sexy Fantasy Wish Fulfillment Me.

There is a specific character in that universe who is my analogue, and he is referred to as "The Author", who looks pretty much like me, except less bald.

I like how you guys think, but keep in mind (s)he is the highest level of Wizard, Priest, and Retconjurer that can possibly be achieved. (S)He can magically bitch-slap you into next week, minus half of your levels.

Retconjuration is "the power to change history for the sake of the plot."

[Remuthra]

If we engaged Ross at the dawn of time, would he be powerless in his specialized area?

[Xanmyral]

I have to ask, are Fae as terrifying in this 'Verse as they are in Ye Olde tales? I also do have to ask though, is he a Seelie, or a Unseelie, or is that just a title instead of distinction? This makes all the difference in approaching him. One being approachable, another being approachable but with extreme caution, the last being oh god flee.

{Note, if Jewel dies next character is Unseelie Winter Fae. Expect full terrifying.}

[Xero]

I feel like it's important to mention that one time Ross openly insulted Daimonas, and got violently exploded. That was pretty intense.

Unseelie is Winter, which is terrifying, and Seelie is Summer. Less outright kill you, more trick you into killing your entire family.

Also, about killing the wizard: I'm not familiar with how the system works, but if he can create dimensions for himself he can manipulate time in it so that every million years that passes on the outside is only a second outside, aging any non immortals to death and giving him functionally infinite time to plan everything.

[Xanmyral]

Nah, I know that Xantalos, reason I'm asking is because he's a monarch in the "Unseelie Court." Which worries me. But he's the Prince of Spring, so I'm wondering if such is just a title instead of an actual distinction with him.

[Xantalos]

Hmm, that may be a difference. The Erlking is the holder of the Wild Hunt, though, IIRC, so I may have to encounter him at one point.
