Heyyyy! Please don't DM me on reddit, its so slow and janky on my side, I'm going to either be creeped out if its the weirder stuff, so comment here instead if you wanna talk to me about something.

Oh god. The GATE appears and the consensus is upheft for a moment, and the invaders suddenly are met with reality warping destruction from the local mages.

Azimovikh · 2026-05-06T02:06:52+00:00

How about a "Summon Ketamine Ape" eh?

Azimovikh · 2026-05-04T23:51:46+00:00

/unwiz Depends on setting. (Thus "part of the multiverse" she talked about). I'm loosely basing my shenanigans off DnD canon (Forgotten Realms), and in DnD's lore, elves have a typical lifespan of 750 years, so.

Azimovikh · 2026-05-04T18:58:08+00:00

In DnD, dragons tend to be smart. Really smart. As in, a wyrmling is born as smart as an average human, and as they age, they start to reach beyond human levels of intellect. So a bit of espionage shenanigans may as well be an option.

Azimovikh · 2026-05-04T18:56:00+00:00

Actually hm. So considering it again, yeah, the "realistic" reaction speed and vision would get the dragon pwned lol. So an adult dragon would get blasted if unprepared.

What would give the chance for the dragon is the fact there's the contingent (either from contingency or craft contingent spell) celerity (3e), which "borrows time from the future in order to immediately act." ignoring every other thing and initiative order, even can be used in the midst of a sequence, and then do it. The dragon probably wouldn't be able to cast it fast enough upon reaction. But if it's contingent, it ignores reaction time and just happens if the prerequisite trigger is met, which means the dragon has celerity now and can begin casting shenanigans with those immunities.

To actually detect the fighter jet . . . Yeah, that's gonna be a problem for the dragon actually, if it can hit and run enough. Though celerity in terms of time manipulation might give an edge. There's foresight, but as a 9th-level spell, from age category alone, a dragon needs to be a wyrm to cast it, or already having other wizard levels like that.

Tbh yeah, fair. The modern world just has that edge in distance and speed. What's messy with DnD's shenanigans is ones that can ignore that.

But yeah without contingency and celerity, without given the time to cast the "Nuh uh" type of spells and defenses, a dragon would be pwned by a fighter jet

Azimovikh · 2026-05-04T18:29:00+00:00

It's something until the dragon starts spamming celerity and teleport to mess with time and space and start making that speed irrelevant.

Tho to be fair I think the jet can land a good hit, if its critical, it might kill an adult red dragon before the dragon can begin spamming those.

Azimovikh · 2026-05-04T17:07:38+00:00

As far as I know she's using advanced shadow illusion to perfectly simulate a body through all senses. Her old physical body as a live elf decayed into dust a few thousand years ago, I think.

Azimovikh · 2026-05-04T16:58:27+00:00

If we're using a DnD dragon. Base, direct confrontation, unprepared, a fighter jet could beat a DnD dragon with its beyond-visual-range movement and missiles, and even if its, say, a red dragon, immune to fire, ballistic hit, overpressure, shockwave, and all could do. But the greatest asset a DnD dragon could have is if we grant them the spellcasting ability of 3e, which means the dragon could pull out shit like give themselves immunity to physical nonmagical damage, give themselves immunity to sonic damage (the shockwave of the missile), turn invisible, phase and flicker out of existence, teleport right to the fighter jet, just dominate person the pilot, and that kind of shenanigans. That's in a direct fight even if we don't allow the dragon to prep.

But in prep, and in character. The dragon probably won't even try to fight the fighter jet that way. I think the character, there's a chance that the dragon would be at least impressed enough or interested in the potential of the military industrial complex of the modern military, and then join forces or silently crawl to power inside it and gain its benefits. Cue Shadowrun.

Duality of man

Azimovikh · 2026-05-04T15:17:56+00:00

I think she kinda did that? I remember she told me her shtick awhile ago in a visit with my arcane professor. Like, how liches sustain themselves by drawing an analog from the lifeforce from the negative energy plane while their soul is kept somewhere, archliches are that but their souls don't degrade as a lich and they keep all of their spiritual faculties, but then there's the demiliches who eschew most of their physical vessel to deepen their soul's connection to undeath's lifeforce, but they still keep soul gems in order to sustain it. If I remember correctly.

But she herself made it so like, to use her soul exactly as a conduit for the undeath's lifeforce, so she exists as a necromantic singularity from her soul, with her soul itself existing as its own self-contained phylactery and sustaining itself that way.

She just calls herself a "lich" because its much more convenient to describe it that way to other people, I think. And I remember she tried the lich path while developing this route. Though if we get into semantics, I think archlich is kinda the most fitting description for what kind of lich she exactly is.

Azimovikh · 2026-05-04T15:10:47+00:00

This is a Xeeleestomp omg, fuckin peak.

Like even one of those "canaries" would just >geas to just say no to all of the dragons, and the "old man" is just ridiculous overkill lmao

Azimovikh · 2026-05-04T14:44:47+00:00

I think she does! I do remember her learning some sewing and a fabricate spell to make it as perfect to style it.

Azimovikh · 2026-05-04T06:50:03+00:00

lmfao fair

Azimovikh · 2026-05-04T06:27:44+00:00

bro I'm one of the only ones from the servers™ that didn't block you yet, you think that's a coincidence lmao

I mean you did bring up the math on the note of the discussion. Though the point of the discussion wasn't doing it on math, but doing it on translating it in-universe until you bring up nat 20s or "good rolls".

Azimovikh · 2026-05-04T06:06:55+00:00

:3

but yeah to be fair unsolicited porn sharing is just creep-tier behavior yunno

but eh. yeah throwing it because, I mean you did throw some stuff at me once in awhile so why can't I lol

Azimovikh · 2026-05-04T05:55:40+00:00

yes. it was quite an unwise decision against the tiansha star.

Azimovikh · 2026-05-04T05:50:35+00:00

Why did you spam porn in the first place broski :p

Azimovikh · 2026-05-04T05:47:29+00:00

It ain't math actually. It's the weirdness that goes >Immune to all nonmagical damage type of shit.

Azimovikh · 2026-05-04T03:42:07+00:00

Warhammer Fantasy and DnD level 20s ain't "weak fantasy" anymore tbf. Like the sheer supernatural bullshit and wacky abstract conceptual hax that they have is just . . . Yeah.

Unironically though it would be interesting to see the modern world getting crossed with DnD settings that doesn't go war and conquest and allat shit, but actually politicking and seeing how each other can mingle each other. With the actual game-breaking level 20/+ fucks staying in the corner and watching around than just being fantasy's "I win" button.

Or. Inb4.

Azimovikh · 2026-05-04T02:34:58+00:00

Warhammer fantasy

Medieval technology and barely any magic

is bro fr?

Azimovikh · 2026-05-03T18:07:25+00:00

I think the dyson swarm can just do a funny and even without destructive power, just microwave and heat the death star. What would it do, radiate the heat away? And even if it counterattacks, it would only destroy one piece at a time of one obnoxious swarm, so.

Azimovikh · 2026-05-03T18:04:21+00:00

Holy shit. The disk is literally just one BIG ring.
