remember the iron siege?

[Daniel678]

Several things, diplomacy is given huge penalties since it is broken. I do not suggest relying on it.

People are trying to take him on head-on because he almost never leaves his tower. The only time he leaves is for the meeting with the 8 other Lords of the Nine. Players can't gain entry to the tower legitimately and so going commando is by far the simplest solution. It is also the one that has been the most successful. There has been at least one attempt at diplomacy but it didn't go anywhere. That said, some strategies that might work are, summoning him from outside the tower/plane, persuading him that the tower is dangerous, or ambushing him while he is traveling to the meeting (I forget the name) with the other lords of the 9. If you kill Dispater outside of Dis you don't kill permanently but you do get information and his items. If you immediately go to kill him on  Dis he will be lacking buffs and might be a little disorientated.

Counterspelling is nice to have. The SDA instant counterspell will give you everything you want.

Good luck with the challenge.

[The_Mad_Linguist]

The most irritating thing for me is that you're forced to start in Dis, while it'd be far simpler to hijack a preexisting summoning.

[Daniel678]

I'm pretty sure that starting in Dis was more for convenience and you are not forced to do it if you don't want to.

If I recall correctly you start in Dis because Dispater stopped astral links and planar portals and so you start by entering with a custom epic teleport spell.

Is Illithid Savant allowed? Seems to me like an Illithid Savant + Stolen Thrallherd ability (for 2 more illithids with Illithid Savant) + Stolen Metamind's Font of Power + Fusion (We Are Legion) + Shrodinger's Cat Shenanigans should be silly enough to overcome the challenge.

Said character would be able to turn back time to the beginning of the challenge every time he met a "failure" and restart from the top. All enemies would roll natural 1s on every die roll, he would always roll natural 20s.

[Prime32]

Necromancy, eh?
Would some variant of this work? (add in Improved Cohort, familiar can gain Divine Ranks through "Nut-Pun" method, master is a primordial half-giant who was subjected to return to nature spam until he became Fine then swallowed)

EDIT: Ho?

EDIT2: Could a hairy spider build do well in this?

[Sippin]

The problem I have always had with the iron siege is twofold.
First the lack of openness of what the DM is actually doing. Secondly that Dispater gets to impose absolutes on beings equal in rank to him with no save or check.
At this level of play, things are so complicated that it is hard for the player to remember half of his abilities from 80 levels, hundreds of millions of gold in equipment, permanent buffs, etc. let alone the DM. Even past that, my opinion has always been that since this a challenge directly against the DM it is important for both parties to agree to any houserules that they want in effect.

With the way that the Iron Tower works, not even Pun-Pun could touch Dispater. It cant be destroyed in whole or part, has inescapable traps with no save and no check and is unaffected by essentially everything. Oh, and it is infinite. It was not written to be challenged. The only way to get to Dispater is DM fiat which is rather unlikely in a challenge where it is you vs the DM.

Our group is going to be running the Iron Siege here, but we are hashing out some changes to make it less arbitrary and actually beatable without fiat. Houserullings will be by consensus, full disclosure of abilities and effects is in play, no made up no save/check abilities/traps. Even that is not enough, still are trying to work out the nature of the Iron Tower itself.

[PhaedrusXY]

I can say that at least when Tshern was running it, the abilities he was using were 100% legit. He chose me as a "moderator" of sorts, and told me exactly what the NPCs were doing. I only performed this duty during one challenge, but I suspect everything else was "by the book" as well. It's just that as you said it is incredibly complicated due to the levels and abilities involved, not to mention minions, and the Iron Tower itself is nearly impregnable. There have been credible attempts to get into it, as well as at least one that seemed to be successful. Unfortunately, it led to the demise of the one using it...

But getting to Dispater is certainly the real challenge. Actually beating him is a snap for pretty much all contestants that have been entered.

[Sippin]

I have absolute confidence in the integrity of Tshern's challenges, I have no doubt that he did everything by the book.
 I still think full disclosure should be in effect however. I dont know if any houseruling came into effect on parts of what he did, but if so I would think the community should get some say on that. I may be in the minority, but I consider the player as an equal to the DM when it comes to houserules and custom material especially when this is a challenge of player vs DM. If for nothing else disclose so that the audience knows how they are doing those things. The challenge is biased against the challenger enough that even if they are allowed in character to know the exact mechanical effects Dispater and his minions use they still have basically no chance of winning.

By the rules Tshern could have all the other lords of the nine and every major demon in the nine hells show up between you and the Iron Tower. Unlikely setting wise, but not too difficult to make a excuse for (ancient pacts, prophecies, etc). Would that be fair for the challenge? There is no check and balance on the DMs power in the iron siege, it is futile unless the DM wants you to win. If it is going to be run as it is, there should be some constraints on both sides (no epic spell that outright kills Dispater;no saveless super traps so on).

As written the Iron Tower isnt nearly impregnable. It is utterly impregnable. Assuming you get to it, assuming you open the doors  (Dispater lets you) you can walk inside to a featureless, inescapable room, have the doors close behind you and be trapped forever. No save to avoid, no check to escape, cant knock down or damage the walls. Very difficult to teleport, pointless even if you can since the rest of the tower is the same and infinite in size and Dispater is so paranoid he has countermeasures to your every epic scrying spell.

Run Pun-Pun against the iron siege with every ability and class level there is. He still cant get to Dispater. Still cant get around the Iron Tower's defenses. The only chance he has is if the DM lets Pun-Pun have custom abilities or epic spells that enable him to get to Dispater. It is unbeatable as is and was never designed to be beaten.

[PhaedrusXY]

Tshern says otherwise, but he hasn't told me the specifics of how he thinks it can be beaten. He's holding out because he thinks someone might beat it someday. AFAIK, he didn't use any house rules at all except those found in the Dicefreaks pdfs and mentioned in the game setup thread. As you've said, it's not like he needs them...

[ImmortalSoul]

Showing everything to the players would imho make significant parts of the challenge rather pointless for those who read them to figure strategies for their own later attemps.

What I actually liked most about reading the attempts that have been made (and that I could find) and some of the character concepts was not actual rule mechanic anyway. This is partly because I don't know some of the rules (those for the Divine Ranks for example) and abilities used well enough, but also because I feel beating the system by actual rules is half of the challenge, at best. The entire rest is "being smart enough to really impress your DM" (which is, find the weak part in a seemingly unbeatable setting). On a certain level of optimization (where most of the challengers worked) the characters are solid enough, so obvious weaknesses in your builds are probably not the problem. The real challenge is finding the exact weak point your attempt is going to attack and utilize it.

[Tshern]

Daniel678: It is possible to enter the Tower. I've got an idea or few.

PhaedrusXY: Thanks for defending me.

Sippin: Full disclosure is in a way against the challenge. If I reveal all the tricks I use, all the challengers will be directly to be countering those shenanigans. For example, if you know you are going to face foes that stun you a lot, you'll want Freedom of Movement. A big part of the challenge is to simply figure out what the DM does.

Some random issues you raised:
-Dispater can call Dukes and other devils, not archdevils or Lords of the Nine. I, or any other of the DMs, has used other Lords or archdevils unassociated with Dis (Glasya and Merorem are the only ones).
-Checks and balances: A moderator, I've used PhaedrusXY and Mister Sinister.
-There are no saveless supertraps. Heck, I have not even used a single custom epic spell yes.
-Tower is not immune to teleporting through the means of Wish, Miracle and Alter reality.

A handful of general notes:
-I still maintain the challenge is beatable. By no means easy or even just difficult, it is a formidable task, but can be done. Not sure if I could do it, at least if I gave the new DM my notes on Dispater's tactics and tricks.
-No custom epic spells have been used from the DM's side.
-I think the main problem in the challenge is that it has been conducted by the same DM for so long. I have a rudimentary grasp of character optimization and I've had time to figure out defensive maneuvers.

Anyway, if there are any questions directly to me, I am willing to answer.

This spell suppresses the activation of all contingent spells or powers within a 300' radius. The contingent spells are not dispelled, but if their trigger condition is met, while within the radius make a caster level check using the CL of the contingent spell against the CL of Extemporaneous Aura. If the check is unsuccessful, the trigger does not activate. Once outside of Extemporaneous Aura's area of effect, suppressed contingent spells go off normally if their triggering condition continues to be, or is once again met. However, if the triggering condition is a specific event rather than on ongoing condition nothing happens until that event occurs again.

[/spoiler]
Vs Casters[spoiler]
I have many different defenses and options when fighting casters. To begin with I can Counterspell any spell they cast as a free action by using either a spell-like ability or a spell. Such spells then rebound upon their caster. My Otiluke's Suppressing field spell suppresses any spell cast into or in it's range on a CL check so weaker casters may find themselves completely ineffective. Dampen Magic reduces the effect of any magic cast against me. I counter any spell that allows spell resistance and negate any spell that I save against. If any caster is able to affect me with any detrimental persistent effect I can seize control of it and change it's variables so that it no longer affects me.

Offensively I can pierce through spell resistance and have a wide variety of spells and spell-like abilities to choose from.
[/spoiler]
Buffs[spoiler]
He always has the listed persistent buffs active. He persists and extends all of them and casts them every day so he always has one set of spells up and usually has two. He buffs inside of an Innervated Speed and suppresses Dampen Magic while he is buffing. He casts an Extraordinarily Aimed Otiluke's Suppressing Field at one lower caster level than normal and then takes 10 on his caster level checks against it for the rest of his buff spells. He also uses Cunning Breach to penetrate his own spell resistance when casting any buff spells that would otherwise be negated by it. Additionally, every buff spell with a visual component is cast as an Invisible spell. Esoteric Aegis is cast while receiving maximum benefit from Cosmic Connection. Every spell with a radius greater than 60' is trimmed to 60' with mastery of shaping so that it is concealed with Epic Consecrated Stealth Bubble.
[/spoiler]
Abilities[spoiler]
Metamagic Effect: Aside from the obvious uses, I can use the corresponding epic feats to modify an harmful effect to not affect me through Extraordinary Spell Aim or apply Cunning Breach along with Purify to enhance it and make it not effect me. If I am unable to use Extraordinary Spell Aim on the spell effect and I need to get rid of it I can always reduce it's area to one square through Mastery of Shaping.

vs Dispater[spoiler]
Negated Abilities: [spoiler]Aura of Hell, Hell's Fire, Perseverance Glance, Acedia's Influence,  The Might of Hell[/spoiler]
Relevant Abilities
[spoiler]Ferric Affinity: Don't carry iron and if you are hidden the don't interact with iron. With Ironward you can avoid doing this by accident.
Interestingly, Dispater can animate slightly less than 8 square feet of Iron (or a greater amount of lighter iron alloys) at a time. This ability is a free action and therefore  Dispater is limited by the movement speed of the iron itself. Animate objects without legs or wheels have a maximum movement speed of 40' per round. As there is time for 2 move actions per turn Dispater can therefore move 38,400 pounds of iron 80' per round He could move less iron a proportionally further distance since he is limited only by quantity and not by actions.
By far the most dangerous part of this ability is that by using a move action he can gain LoS and LoE from any iron within the radius. He can use this ability to steal your time stops and cast his own without them being stolen. To to counter this move so that he need to constantly re-use this ability. Basically, this allows him to constantly attack you without any chance of reprisal. The only way to win this game is not to play.
One method that could be used to reach him could be to wish to be transported to the opposite side of the Ferric Affinity effect.

Iron Curtain: This ability has a long duration so expect it to be constantly active. Since Dispater can negate any attack with a very easy fortitude save there is no way attack him directly while this effect is active. Alter Reality can negate this on a successful opposed rank check. A Wish would be able to do it without requiring the save.

Spellcasting/Psionics: As per page 56 of the XPH the all of the psionic disciplines with the exception of Psychoportation powers are equivalent to a school of magic for the purpose of psionics-magic transparency. Since the Iron Siege uses psionics-magic transparency I can use Otiluke's Suppressing Field to negate all spells, powers, and items duplicating them which have a CL or ML less than mine. This does not include Psychoportation powers or spells from the Universal school. Unless Dispater has some CL increasing trickery or some other way around this trick he cannot affect me with normal spells. Also of note is that any spell targeting me has it's caster level reduced by 23.

Call Devils: It is within Dispater's capabilities to summon 9 Dukes of Hell to come to his aid.  None of the Dukes of Hell are strong enough to challenge me in a straight up fight although the possibility of distraction renders this ability a threat.[/spoiler][/spoiler]
The Iron Tower

Immunity to force effects negates the telekinesis.

[The_Mad_Linguist]

Full disclosure is in a way against the challenge.

Fuck that.  I'm the goddamn god of secrets. 

Reveal us the answers then.

Dispater is unaware he possesses a deadly peanut allergy.

Basically you slip him a Snickers and call it good.
