Have you ever wondered, "You know what would be really cool? If Asmodeus and Pazazu duked it out!"
Well step right up ladies and gentlemen. This is your chance.
A Simple Build:[spoiler]Any good native outsider with 13 con (Savage progression aasimar, otherworldly elf, whatever)
Enhanced Summoner Wizard 5 / Malconvoker 9 / Sacred Exorcist 1 / Wizard 3 / x 2
with infernal Bargainer (RoF166) and alternative spell in addition to some other metamagics to DMM your normally arcane spells[/spoiler]
How to Catch'em All:[spoiler]0 Do a LOT of research including learning truenames, etc. You will also need multiple action abuse or have your cohort to help you perform some of the below
1 Prepare your spells including a contingency to go off right before you finish your implore spell
2 Be in a safe place on the prime with a nicely prepared 'arena' for your guest.
3 conjure some snow to your destination
4 Start casting the
Implore spell (Drag Mag 336 p82): transparent with greater planar binding but "target: one elemental or outsider 22 HD or less" and requires the targets
true name. Target takes -4cha checks and will saves and makes no efforts to subvert instructions. XP cost of 50*HD meh
5 The cohort or you with rapid spell shenanigans is ready to Gate to whoever / whatever you are going to bind
6 Delay some locate city nukage with fell drain to bestow up to 24 negative levels (depending on how much metamagic you use) to your target
7 Gate back to your location on the prime. Your cohort's spell (or yours) should finish as time resumes and the negative levels have hit. Remember "You do not have to select your target until you finish casting the spell." so, say, Asmodeus' aspect is now fair game (you keep out of range of that aura)
8 Tell the
victim contestant to do nothing but stay and wait while taking no actions until you give further instructions. Thanks to Implore, they can't subvert your commands
9 Repeat the above for your contestant number 2 (sleep if needed)
10 Tell the two fight each other to the death without leaving the arena and whoever wins gets to go home.
Note: the extra energy-draining work is only required for evil outsiders above 26HD that aren't immune to energy drain. If they are, no dice. Non-evil outsiders or elementals can't be above 22HD, but no one cares about them.[/spoiler]
What to Post
Some good match-ups where people
pony up after deciding the strategy the outsider will take to fight the opponent. Posting said strategy gives a heads-up to your enemy.
Match-Up #1: Pazazu vs Asmodeus. Simply post who you want to take and once we've got a few for each, I'll say who I think will do the best job which gives them
the green light to
roll initiative.
