08-18-04, 12:44 AM I just had an idea, what if you built a golem out of mirrors of opposition? As far as I can tell it would be a pretty nasty opponent.

08-20-04, 06:06 PM It would give you as many allies as enemies, if they worked every round.
Round 1: Player A is opposed, creating opposite A.
Round 2: Player A is opposed to create opposite B. Opposite A is opposed to create ally A.
Round 3: Player A is opposed to create opposite C. Opposite A is opposed to create ally B. Ally A is opposed to create opposite D. Opposite B is opposed to create Ally C.
Round 4: Player A is opposed to create opposite E. Opposite A is opposed to create ally D. Ally A is opposed to create opposite F. Opposite B is opposed to create Ally E. Ally B is opposed to create opposite G. Opposite C is opposed to create Ally F. Ally C is opposed to create opposite H. Opposite D is opposed to create Ally G.
Round 5: Player A is opposed to create opposite I. Opposite A is opposed to create ally H. Ally A is opposed to create opposite J. Opposite B is opposed to create Ally I. Ally B is opposed to create opposite K. Opposite C is opposed to create Ally J. Ally C is opposed to create opposite L. Opposite D is opposed to create Ally K. Ally D is opposed to create opposite M. Opposite E is opposed to create ally L. Ally E is opposed to create opposite N. Opposite F is opposed to create ally M. Ally F is opposed to create opposite O. Opposite G is opposed to create ally N. Ally G is opposed to create opposite P. Opposite H is opposed to create ally O.
Repeat indefinately.

08-20-04, 08:55 PM It could have a Bad Luck ability that affects any creature that breaks it (delivers the killing blow) - something like Bestow Curse (or its greater counterpart from BoVD) that is difficult to get rid of and has either no save or a ridiculously difficult save.

You could stat it as a stained-glass golem from MMII and add some reflective powers/defenses.... perhaps the mirrors allow it to function as if under a constant spell-turning.

If you have access to Malhavoc's Complete Book of Eldritch Might (http://www.montecook.com/mpress_BOEMC.html) you might be able to use the assorted spells associated with the Mirror Master PrC from that book as additional powers for your Mirror Golem.

And/or it could blind anyone carrying a light source, as that light is reflected back - and perhaps magnified - by the mirrors.

Just some thoughts.

08-21-04, 11:20 AM Well, there's a mirror golem in the Mirrodin set of M:tG. Or maybe it was Darksteel. All I know is that it's one of the Mirrodin cycle, and not Fifth Dawn.
