05-23-06, 11:02 PM Alright, I've got a running challenge of one-ups with a friend of mine, Basically a theory battle more than anything. Most of his stuff I've been able to deal with in some way or another but I'd like the boards assistance in dealing with some things:

High-End Energy immunities/Resistances - Any stratagies you know that would allow me to deal with the following damage types (I know there won't be much.):
Divine/Corrupt
Arcane (straight damage, disintigrate type mostly.)
And the frostburn/Sandstorm Searing/Freezing (Get through immunity to fire/Cold.)

Timestop - Dealing with a person who does not die from age and has innate timestop (I did say high level ^_^;) The problem is that he can enter timestop and once every two rounds cast it to extend (Or overlap depending on your reading of it) the duration.

Disjunction - I'm sure there are a lot of discussion of the D+D Magic nuke, Anything that you can suggest would be helpful. Thanks

05-23-06, 11:21 PM Why not aim for death by massive damage or due to inescapable circumstances? Seeing as you guys are near (or past) epic, there's a battle tactic I've always wanted to try: drop a mountain on him.

Open a gate to one of the elemental planes over his head, it will either be a waste of a 9th level spell or leave him or crush him under tons of anything.

05-23-06, 11:28 PM I'm pretty sure one of the planes you can reach (one of the layers of Hell, IIRC) is a massive pool of some sort of acid. That'd be an alternative if he has a way to avoid being crushed. (Assuming I'm actually remembering this from 3.5 D&D material)

Pick his character sheet up, walk over to the paper shredder, put it in the paper shredder and last of all light the house on fire.

05-23-06, 11:40 PM I believe if you make an epic caster, with epic leadership, and circle magic, and TONS of followers, you can actually get a spell with a spellcraft check of +10,000. The spell is called "I win". Seriously, I think its listed as a lark in the epic handbook, or on the wizard's site somewhere. Thats how you deal with it. "I win" really and truly vanquishes all foes. Viva estupidos!

But... if you're epic level... Get some magic as Supernatural abilities, and make use of the permanent emanation Antimagic Field.
