They also don't have a background, appearance, personality, and even counting the Double Finisher there's still one more action they can make.
how about we just start and let him procrastinate, but not let him join till he finishes?

I figure at some point, you're just gonna run outta fucks to give and just off yourself whenever you get hurt at all. It's not like there's any downsides to it. Hangover? Suicide will fix that. Stubbed your toe? Suicide. Headache? Suicide. Papercut? Suicide.

I am desperate to suck the fun out of every single encounter by summoning an inordinate amount of time wasting minions.

Not just for the enemies.

So UPS plz

Beam mode, fires the slimes, or alternately, I just keep casting it.  AOE isn't as lethal to the teammates as single target damage, so distraction plays are perfectly viable, since they either kill the slimes every single turn with an AOE, or have lulls in which i can build them up, Antimagic and antisummon fields would not just cripple me, so I would just screw off with the rest of the summoners, and if there aren't any summoners, I can broforce one up out of another player or NPC every 5 levels.

That assumes my slimes cannot attack the turn they are summoned of course, since if they could it would be 8d7 damage per turn stacking if they didn't kill them all on the same turn, and have no RES.

It's all balanced by them having 0 initiative and dying in one hit though, so AOE would STOP the insanity, but it wouldn't cripple me.

The reason I say now is so I can mentally prepare to be useful every 1 out of 200 encounters as all the others have some detail that makes it impossible for me to use my powers effectively like a classic superhero narrative.

Yes. Killing you would, however, cripple you.

Each slime has a small chance to intercept an attack independently, they would have to AOE, then attack me, and hope that they either have a higher initiative, or that The 25 I summon this turn do not beat the odds, or attack me and beat the odds with however many slimes are currently in play, or have an attack that pierces through multiple targets.  All reasonable thoughts, but then I also have maxed resilience at the very least.

To make a long story short, I learned my lesson about making fun characters in Tresspassers.

What I mean is I learned to not make a character that relies on anything they can't just make/do themselves, like normal enemies.
