..what's a locked door going to do?
Heck, he can break into the Kremlin and the White House simultaneously.
And if he can look like anyone, why on earth would people shoot the president's wife? Or the PM of Britain? Or Secret Service Agent B?
So why can't he knock the door open?A security door that is controlled by someone not actually standing where he is, but is instead controlled by someone at a control center? It will stop him until he can scrye behind it.
Slight exageration. I mean, if he can teleport back and forth 10 times a minute, it's not bilocation, but it's close.Are they really capable of bilocation or are you exaggerating?
No, but two minutes with the person will get you everything but the biometrics (and I'm not sure about that either), given their charm capabilities. Supply closet. Bathroom. Never mind a leshay that plans ahead and shows up at your house for a sleepover.They might if he doesn't have proper ID- passwords, magnetic cards, RFID, biometrics* or whatever is required at the place he's trying to access. He may LOOK like the person, but appearance alone won't get you in.
So why can't he knock the door open?
SRD
...Knock does not raise barred gates or similar impediments (such as a portcullis)...
I just checked some stats: apparently he has "greater" teleport, so there's no chance of error and he only needs a "reliable" description.
POTUS isn't in a bunker 24/7 for four years, and the leshay doesn't -look- like a threat. That's the whole point. It's a total stealth operator. He walks in as a tourist. A quick chat with the guide, and he's shaking hands with a Secret Service agent, who introduces him to his superior as a favor. A little smile, nod of the head, and one of the top secret service agents is arranging for him to meet the president for a moment, while POTUS is walking from one photo-op to another.
Look, my point isn't that the scenario is impossible, just that there are enough ways things can go wrong that the outcome is not a given.
I think we can assume that almost everyone who has been assassinated didn't mean to be, and that a mistake was made in protection, surveillance, or procedure.Even assuming he does take over the world, he can't rest on his laurels. There are IEDs in the world as powerful as some military ordinance, and "The Resistance" would probably not shy away from using them. A classic: a shaped charge was used to deform and launch a thick plate of copper at a heavily armored car in an assassination about a decade ago- the blast made the plate into a heavy, near molten airfoil that traveled at hypersonic speed into the car's side, sending the car flying sideways through the air in multiple burning pieces. (There was also a banker killed in similar fashion.)
Why did it work? Becsuse the leader in question was so confident in his safety that he never varied from his routine paths on official business. They knew where he would be at that time right down to the minute.
I wouldn't.Why would the Le Shay even bother with the president?
Magic has an overwhelming upper hand in asymmetric warfare. So, that's where the smart magic forces would seize victory.Lol this went from "high tech forces vs magic forces" to "magic spies vs Obama"
Shooting it won't stop it.
So what? That janitor has a life. She has an apartment, a family, goes to the movies, buys groceries. And in six seconds she'll tell the leshay everything it wants to know.
You'd have to be willing to destroy your own cities to pull that off.
