the Bastion is a Hidden Threat
Invincible 1x1 combat.

He is hidden, his spells are completely imperceptible, he commands and manipulates through telepathy.

Your commands are exactly what the demons do and love to do, Destruction, Demons love destruction, the command to destroy the Wizards is perfect.

His control is not limited to demons, as he can control any creature. Including Subtle Dominate Person against Wizards.

This is perfect, no matter how much you may argue.


Planar Binding:
"If the creature is hostile to you"

The creature will never know who the Bastion ("Hostile to you' is impossible) is or will realize that it is being magically manipulated, since its effects are imperceptible. The Bastion is the strongest character ever made.

Unless it has Detect Magic, which all demon lords(except maybe Kostchtchie, can't remember) have at will. Or really anyone, since you still have to telepathically order them. Actually, how do you even have telepathy this time around?

Yes and of course no demon lord anywhere with an intelligence of 30 knows what telepathy is or has ever experienced it and would just assume any strange voice speaking Common in its head is totally his inside voice.

In previous discussions Hohige seemed to think telepathy wasn't discernable as separate from the creature's own thoughts, despite no evidence pointing to that being true.

I hadn't perceived that line of thought.

It must make telepathic conversations among a mob of illithid very awkward.

Master of Deception

I had not thought about it, after all the command will be obeyed. But, you made me think even better about it.
Bastion is hidden, its spells are imperceptible, it has an unbeatiable deception check, it can manipulate any creature easily, it has telepathy.

With Telephaty feat and Actor feat he can pretend to be anyone, without any difficulty. Forcing the creature to believe that it is listening to its own thoughs (Telephaty feat + Actor feat).
He can also frame any Wizard, making everyone hunt him down as an enemy. With this strategy he can manipulate anyone, pass himself off as anyone and manipulate them, forcing him to believe that he is his own thoughs or simulating an enemy's voice.

With Subtle Dominate Person, Subtle Mass Suggestion, Subtle Planar Binding, Subtle Detect Through, Subtle Wish + Master of Deception trick. It's so scary.
Well things seem to be getting more and more difficult for Wizards.

On an completely unrelated to this thread note: If I keep making fun of a narcoleptic because they are constantly falling asleep and spilling drinks on themselves, at what point do I start to feel guilty because they can't help themselves versus entertained because it's funny?

 

[Hohige]

I'm surprised at how powerful Bastion is.

I'm surprised at how powerful Bastion is.

A legend in your own mind.

Permit me to suggest you play some tabletop D&D with friends.
At the very least, you need to get acquainted with the fact that everybody else gets a turn too.

Unfortunately for the Bastion my identical build "the Shmastion" secretly subtle Mass Suggestioned him into staying home for the next year and a day and working on his anti-Wizard anger issues.

How did he secretly give him the actual spoken suggestion in the Mass Suggestion you ask? Through the power of raw edginess.
