May 22, 2008 10:13:29 20th Level both, all WotC books allowed, 100.000 gold given to each. Who will win? Elaborate freely.

celerity not init right?

if your druid can pick up a domain then they can time stop also...

either way, its a go first matter.

May 22, 2008 15:35:57 Could the druid cast a celerity using greater anyspell from the spell domain? That would even the playing field. Of course, the wizard's contingencies would still give him the win.

May 22, 2008 18:18:59 Assuming the wizard does not have time to prep, with foresight (so he can cast celerity), and the druid wins the initiative. I would give it to the druid. But those are two very large ifs.

He can cast celerity anyway. Don't you just love that cunning property from Weapons of Legacy?

May 22, 2008 20:43:55 It really comes down to what strategies they use and the skill of the players. I mean, a Druid can start out Wild Shaped in the form of a Dire Tortoise, making sure he can act in the surprise round that doesn't exist. Then the Wizard with Foresight or similar abilities casts Celerity and Timestop, allowing him to go first in the round that doesn't exist... yeah, it's wacky.

You mean the wizard's contingency celerity goes off and he time stops. I really don't see how it's possible for the druid to win this.

It's possible the Wizard can't prep foresight and doesn't have an item that makes him immune to being flat footed (since IIRC all of those are custom), and that he uses a different contingency. After all, what is the contingency here? If a Druid tries to act, cast Celerity?

For my contingency, it's: "Whever I speak the word 'supercalifragilisticexpealidocious,' do X"

In general, speaking is a free action that you can perform even when it isn’t your turn. Speaking more than few sentences is generally beyond the limit of a free action.

Gotta love it.
