A number of posters here have shown ways to foil your strategy, you're the one who have a problem. You sorcerer has been defeated at least 5 times here...In fact, the Wizard has a problem. The guy created an account, to kill himself.

I think you're misunderstanding. The simulacrum casts dream on the true polymorphed wizard.1) "You shape an illusory duplicate of one beast or Humanoid that is within range for the entire Casting Time of the spell. The duplicate is a creature, partially real and formed from ice or snow, and it can take Actions and otherwise be affected as a normal creature. It appears to be the same as the original, but it has half the creature's hit point maximum and is formed without any Equipment. Otherwise, the Illusion uses all the Statistics of the creature it duplicates."
Simulacrum is a construct that has your statistic. It doesn't have any goal or personalities.
Their personalities and goals
2) When you turn a Simulacrum into a True Polymorph.
"If the spell becomes permanent, you no longer control the creature. It might remain friendly to you, depending on how you have treated it."
The Wizard no longer control them.
The Simulacrum doesn't control the WizardI think you're misunderstanding. The simulacrum casts dream on the true polymorphed wizard.
I also realized that dispelling true polymorph isn't necessary. The beholders can just bite you until you drop the form. Save those valuable spell slots.
If you can glyph of warding a dream on yourself then you don't even need the simulacrum.
Why? True polymorph doesn't change the mind, just the body. The true polymorphed wizard wouldn't kill their simulacrum and the new beholders share the original's personality and goalsThe Simulacrum doesn't control the Wizard
Well, The Beholder defeats the Simulacrum.
No. Just alignment and personality.Why? True polymorph doesn't change the mind, just the body. The true polymorphed wizard wouldn't kill their simulacrum and the new beholders share the original's personality and goals
Nice. I like It. Complete your build. Feats, race, prepared spells.Ok, let's recap.
The sorcerer has 60 galvan magen, reducing his hit points by 180.
The soecerer remains in his original body because magic jar doesn't work that way.
The sorcerer does not have a simulacrum of a drow matron mother because that would be outside the scope the character's abilities.
The Diviner wizard has discovered his identity with a good Intelligence (Investigation) check and has been harassing the sorcerer every night with dream.
The sorcerer has finally had enough! On a day after he makes his saving throw against the dream and has recovered all his spell slots, sorcery points and hit points, he emerges from his lair and starts randomly destroying stuff because he doesn't know who the wizard is. Now the wizard can engage him directly.
The wizard has used a wish to cast find greater steed, giving him a pegasus. They fly to the sorcerer and when they get close, the wizard uses his 9th level slot to cast invulnerability, which is shared with the pegasus. The pegasus has a fly speed of 90 feet and easily outpaces any of the sorcerer's minions, keeping a distance of about 120 feet from the sorcerer's group at all times. This puts the wizard out of range from anything but the celestial spirits' ranged attacks and the sorcerer and the simulacrum's spells which deal no damage because of invulnerability.
The wizard then proceeds to unload his daily complement of attack spells. Every galvan magen killed is a galvan magen the sorcerer can't get back because he has no more hit points left. If the sorcerer and his minions aren't all dead by then, the wizard flies off, keeping one 5th-level spell slot for dream, and repeats this the next day.
Sure he does! The sorcerer has been dispelled, so it's easy to pick him out. Wizard summons, say "kill that one," and it's done.Build it first. You just spent a 9th slot on this dead one. Celestial doesn't know who the Sorcerer is.
Well, no, we're at 120'. I mean you quoted where all this happened and asked how I'd get tgrpugh your 26 hitpoints, remember? I messed up and went with the 56 from Aid, so, yeah, could have used a 9th level magic missle. I firget, do ypu know Shield? Ah, probably best to stick with the irnoy. Or... use Horrid Wilting. Man, what a service! Your Sorcerer just rehabilitated Hirrid Wilting!The Sorcerer attacks at 660ft. It's out Celestial Range.
Well, not really. They're uncommanded since your dearh, so they dodge and use they're move to avoid danger.My celestials kill him quickly.
Oh, who killed him?Now, the Wizard is dead.
Dude, ypu got dispelled -- you don't have any of that! Again, you've already quoted this part and asked what happens next, so ot's a little late to be reneging on this. Maybe, if I might be so bold, you should read things more carefully?His damage cannot defeat the Sorcerer's HP with Warding Bond.
Which we? The Sorcerer died, so the Celestials are off the hook. You've got to be more specific, man.We deal 260 instant damage to 660ft damage. Well, the Wizard died.
You wished... with what spell slot?!I wished Celestial. Next turn. Sorcerer alpha strike. The Wizard is dead.
Sure he does! The sorcerer has been dispelled, so it's easy to pick him out. Wizard summons, say "kill that one," and it's done.

You wished... with what spell slot?!
Binky: I am extremely impressed, I think I may write a sequel the story about you and Eilirilia, I hope you do not mind.He'd have to recreate a Simulacrum anew to replace his tired butler, but that would be a task for tomorrow. Right now, it is time to make some herbal tea: Binky will arrive soon for tea and biscuits and he might be interested to learn about the strange events of the day.

It really is like arguing at a bar..
Let me see if I understood.
Is your Wizard fighting the Demigod build?
You are simply ignoring the Demigod's defenses and tatics.
1) Let's recap.
You are fighting a highly efficient creature in disguise and you cannot know who the real caster is.
2) He is surrounded by powerful minions that simply kill any Wizard instantly.
With a general command (He doesn't have to be giving command all the time).
"Protect me with your best abilities and defeat any creatures other than us."
Even if the Sorcerer is knocked out, his command remains.
3) And all of your minions have long range, fly and can instantly kill a Wizard 660ft.
4) Do not think that you will simply approach and cast a spell, without first explaining in detail how you will approach, recognize the target and not be killed right away.
5) Everything seems very easy with all the spells, feats, races and subclasses available, assemble a complete build and you will see that it will lose 80% of its theoretical power.
"Sure he does! The sorcerer has been dispelled, so it's easy to pick him out. Wizard summons, say "kill that one," and it's done."
Read 1, 2, 3 and 5.
No, you cast dispel him.
"Well, no, we're at 120'. I mean you quoted where all this happened and asked how I'd get tgrpugh your 26 hitpoints, remember? I messed up and went with the 56 from Aid, so, yeah, could have used a 9th level magic missle. I firget, do ypu know Shield? Ah, probably best to stick with the irnoy. Or... use Horrid Wilting. Man, what a service! Your Sorcerer just rehabilitated Hirrid Wilting!"
No, you are not at 120ft.
You are dead long before you get it. Read all numbers.
"Well, not really. They're uncommanded since your dearh, so they dodge and use they're move to avoid danger.
Oh, who killed him?
Dude, ypu got dispelled -- you don't have any of that! Again, you've already quoted this part and asked what happens next, so ot's a little late to be reneging on this. Maybe, if I might be so bold, you should read things more carefully?
Which we? The Sorcerer died, so the Celestials are off the hook. You've got to be more specific, man."
Nothing about It Works.
"You wished... with what spell slot?!"
You wished for the celestial, not the sorcerer.
The celestial cannot reach the sorcerer by numbers 1 to 4. And even if it were, it would be useless. Sanctuary spell blocks any potential efficient attacks.
"he asks the drow matron mother to cast her unique and non renewable Summon Retriever"Of course. I hope you too will be able to defeat HUN-HAT! I have all confidence.
Meanwhile, here is my course of action for the situation mentionned above.
Everything occurs like in the Alfred post up until the moment he casts Scrying. The locator appear, being seen as a glowing luminous ball by creatures that can see invisibility. Knowing somehow it's a threat, HUN-HAT engages his usual behaviour in that case: he asks the drow matron mother to cast her unique and non renewable Summon Retriever and order her to run toward Alfred. The HUN-HAT takes not of the bearing and starts destroying everything on his path, seemingly ready to do that for the next few months.
Alfred then had a pause, while facing his mirror revealing the surrounding of the HUN-HAT. He knew the girl. Her once-fierce look had subsided, replaced by a demeanor of subserviance, but he recognized her fine black skin and her silky white hair. It was Eilirilia... she hadn't changed over the past 40 years... Then, Alfred wept. He had thought the avatar of Ilmater knocking on his door was a prank. But no. It was not. Ilmater really spoke to him, not because he wanted the HUN-HAT dead, that's of little consequence. He wanted to see how his selfishness in his love affair led Eilirilia to a life of unhappiness. The god of compassion had wanted to give him a last chance to correct his course of action and make things right. Alfred sighed and decided to free Eilirilia from the sociopathic destroyer (since he wept for two round and swore for one, HUN-HAT was at this time destroying an anthill 160 feet from his original position.
"Simulacrum, I order you to kill this guy. I want him dead. I must learn what he did to Eilirilia but he must pay so I'll go the easy way of asking his corpse. Use every means available. Walk the Path of Extreme Prejudice".
During round 5 to 10, the Simulacrum goes to the basement and make a careful path among it chanting words of power that were triggers for empowering glyphs of warding woven into the pattern of the carpet, for situations of emergency, hence the nickname his master has devised. Rarely did he allow the use of it, but today was a special day, and he seemed moved by what he saw in the mirror. Once buffed by the glyphs, who had been created over the past years (prep time), he was the subject of Greater Invisibility, See Invisibility, Far Step, Fly, Mind Blank, Intellect Fortress, Protection from Energy, Haste, True Seeing and Protection from Cameras (the latter being a really obscure scroll Alfred had copied from a tome in Candlekeep, never really understanding its use but as a Wizard is always prepared, it was integrated into the spell glyph pattern). He was ready to perform its task an signalled his presence to Alfred, whose eyes were still locked on the mirror, with grief and pain on his face.
Alfred cast Demiplane, opening the rift between worlds and reaching for his extraplanar laboratory, a supernatural extension of his cottage's closet where his treasures were stored. Both Alfred and the simulacrum entered, while Alfred gave the last orders that would seal the HUN-HAT's fate. "You can go now", did he say, opening a Gate to the material plane again, on the precise location above the HUN-HAT groups. Then Simulacrum crossed the Gate as a move action, finding himself floating above the group. The Simulacrum's mission was to kill HUN-HAT but avoid harming Eilirilia. He wouldn't disappoint his master. He would neutralize the HUN-HAT, who was clearly distinguished from his Simulacrum by the fact that the Scrying Locator was hovering over him, a telling glowing ball of light. Forcecage does not require concentration and Alfred's simulacrum made the bet the sorceror had less capacity to planeshift or teleport than he could withstand uses of Convergent Future to make him miss his saving throws, still expanding the spell slot. As a bonus action, he far stepped 60 feet up. In effect, at most he would have to spend a single use of it, since only Demiplace could qualify as a way to exit the cage.
It was obvious the Eilirilia was a Simulacrum herself, given that she adopted the same behaviour of attacking Alfred's Simulacrum as the HUN-HAT's simulacrum. With a flying speed of 30 ft, even Extended Finger of Death or Power words wouldn't reach the Simulacrum this round. Plus, the Simulacrum can't see invisibility unless he spends some time casting it. It will be a problem the next round. The fake Eilirilia was lacking any meaningful way to see invisible creatures and could only levitate upward clumsily she wouldn't be a threat to reach an invisible attacker able to take a move action and an additional Dash action of 60 ft, plus a far step of 60 feet, and still cast a spell. Carefully staying outside of counterspelling or extended dispell magic range (240 ft, this one is nasty), plus move, at the end of his turn, Alfred's Simulacrum decides to lob a fireball at the group, hurting magens and severely injuring the Simulacrum as he had just cast See Invisibility, before finishing them off on the latter rounds (spending 3rd and 4th level slots). At some point, Eilirelia would be floating slowly, lone survivor of the split group and since the goal wasn't to hurt her, Alfred's simulacrum would use his superior manoeuverability to fly around her and Feeblemind HUN-HAT (expanding his lone 8th level spell and possibly a second convergent future to ensure success). It could harm his move speed, but speed was only useful to split the group and at this point it was no longer needed (in the extraordinary event of a successful INT save) and potentially a third to ensure the failure of the counterspelling. With a CHA and INT of 1 for the next 30 days, he won't be a threat while Alfred's simulacrum kills him with cantrip through the bar of the forcecage.
"Satisfying..." said Alfred again poring over his silvery mirror... "This might not exactly be what Ilmater wanted as outcome but hey..." It is a slow death (though unexplicably, the HUN-HAT died very quickly... how could he have so few hit points? He shoudln't have made a Simulacrum of Eilirilia without her consent. Her body, her choice.
He'd have to recreate a Simulacrum anew to replace his tired butler, but that would be a task for tomorrow. Right now, it is time to make some herbal tea: Binky will arrive soon for tea and biscuits and he might be interested to learn about the strange events of the day.
HUN-HAT has been killed by Alfred, dying of cantrip, without him bothering to leave the comfort of his own home.
Distant Empowered Freezing Sphere hits at 660ft x 2 (The Sorcerer and Simulacrum) + Celestials hits at 600ft.It occurs to me a basic level 20 Ranger could take care of this. The only 600 ft range applicable is for the celestials, and it's with a long range disadvantage assuming they can even see their quarry.
A Sharpshooter Ranger has no such penalty, and can either dash or hide as a bonus action, as well as apply aoe pressure through something like volley or conjure volley. Base movement is as fast or faster than every single mob the Demigod has at their disposal. The ranger could kite the entire sorcerer's army to death.
...Unless..
The only thing that could close the distance is the demigod using something like dimension door, or burning their Wish spell for mobility. In which case, they'd have to find the bonus action hiding ranger (maybe using tree stride) without the benefit of their army of magen taking constant search actions.
We dealt with this -- he's either in his little hidey hole, and so not even a problem, or he's out. If he's out, then we can scry the group and figure out who the leader is -- he's the one giving orders, the one we can't scry, and one of the two winged creatures.
Let me see if I understood.
Is your Wizard fighting the Demigod build?
You are simply ignoring the Demigod's defenses and tatics.
1) Let's recap.
You are fighting a highly efficient creature in disguise and you cannot know who the real caster is.
Yes, accounted for. He has 60 Magen, which leave the Sorcerer with a base of 2 hp, buffed with spells and the Leadership feat. He also has his simulacrum, who doesn't have a 9th level spell slot. He also has the DMM -- which is a heck of a lot of cheese, because it's not the character that does this himself, but whatever, accounted for.2) He is surrounded by powerful minions that simply kill any Wizard instantly.
With a general command (He doesn't have to be giving command all the time).
"Protect me with your best abilities and defeat any creatures other than us."
Even if the Sorcerer is knocked out, his command remains.
Which is why the wizard didn't approach from range.3) And all of your minions have long range, fly and can instantly kill a Wizard 660ft.
Easy, we know it's one of the two winged medium creatures. The approach is as follows -- the Simulacrum teleports both the Wizard and the Sim to the location, both invisible (concetration by the Sim) and flying (concentration by the Wizard). They appear at exactly 120' from one of the winged medium creatures, with surprise, and the Sim casts a 9th level dispel magic on the target. 50/50 chance. If the target doesn't disappear in a puff of snow, it the sorcerer. If it does puff. the wizard teleports out. Recasts Sim next day. Waits until the Sim reappears in the scrying, and then scrys the sorcerer because they don't have Mind Blank (having used Wish to recast Simulacrum). Attacks again, this time with precise targeting.4) Do not think that you will simply approach and cast a spell, without first explaining in detail how you will approach, recognize the target and not be killed right away.
You can pick the subclass -- doesn't matter. You can pick the spells, so long as I have the ones detailed above -- they don't matter. The Sorcerer is powerful, yes, but only because of his minions, which are his Achilles heel due to the loss of hitpoints. The needed buffs to counter this are the focus of this attack -- dispel the buffs and the sorcerer is very weak.5) Everything seems very easy with all the spells, feats, races and subclasses available, assemble a complete build and you will see that it will lose 80% of its theoretical power.
Did, though. Wizard is pretty smart."Sure he does! The sorcerer has been dispelled, so it's easy to pick him out. Wizard summons, say "kill that one," and it's done."
Read 1, 2, 3 and 5.
No, you can't cast dispel him.
We teleported there, so... I mean, pay a little bit of attention?"Well, no, we're at 120'. I mean you quoted where all this happened and asked how I'd get tgrpugh your 26 hitpoints, remember? I messed up and went with the 56 from Aid, so, yeah, could have used a 9th level magic missle. I firget, do ypu know Shield? Ah, probably best to stick with the irnoy. Or... use Horrid Wilting. Man, what a service! Your Sorcerer just rehabilitated Hirrid Wilting!"
No, you are not at 120ft.
You are dead long before you get it. Read all numbers.
And you haven't given a single reason why. I expect that the general thrust of this response is something like "but he's in his fortress!" which is lame. Stay there -- this character is utterly unimportant if he's in his little fort (which has been detailed how that gets destroyed, but I think your last bit was demiplane, which is also losing)."Well, not really. They're uncommanded since your dearh, so they dodge and use they're move to avoid danger.
Oh, who killed him?
Dude, ypu got dispelled -- you don't have any of that! Again, you've already quoted this part and asked what happens next, so ot's a little late to be reneging on this. Maybe, if I might be so bold, you should read things more carefully?
Which we? The Sorcerer died, so the Celestials are off the hook. You've got to be more specific, man."
Nothing about It Works.
Weird, you said, "I wished...." So, very confusing."You wished... with what spell slot?!"
You wished for the celestial, not the sorcerer.
The celestial was summoned at 120'. As for Sanctuary -- you didn't cast it, because it's not on the list of things you cast that you just provided. Also, even if you did, it's been dispelled.The celestial cannot reach the sorcerer by numbers 1 to 4. And even if it were, it would be useless. Sanctuary spell blocks any potential efficient attacks.
So far, you haven't come up with anything that actually answers the sketch I've provided -- I don't need a full build because nothing I'm doing relies on any subclass abilities, or on a complete spell list. It's very simple -- it goes directly for your weaknesses, and leverages the fact that the Wizard can cast Sim way more often than you can, and has a Clone, so can engage in whittling you down. Heck, even if we don't scry, I just send the Sim in on a suicide run with teleport, invisibility, and dispel magic -- this destroys a minion every single time without having to be good at targeting. If it hits you, the wizard can see this via the scrying on the Sim he sent, and leap into action with his alpha against your 26 hitpoint and no spells.If you do not complete your build, you will have no answer for obvious reasons.
We dealt with this -- he's either in his little hidey hole, and so not even a problem, or he's out. If he's out, then we can scry the group and figure out who the leader is -- he's the one giving orders, the one we can't scry, and one of the two winged creatures.
Yes, accounted for. He has 60 Magen, which leave the Sorcerer with a base of 2 hp, buffed with spells and the Leadership feat. He also has his simulacrum, who doesn't have a 9th level spell slot. He also has the DMM -- which is a heck of a lot of cheese, because it's not the character that does this himself, but whatever, accounted for.
He does, however, only have 1 summoned celestial -- the Simulacrum cannot maintain one without burning through his spell slots -- the lack of the 9th level slot for planar binding is the problem -- best the Sim can do is manage 180 days before starting to have to cycle slots, which they run out of pretty quickly.
Which is why the wizard didn't approach from range.
Easy, we know it's one of the two winged medium creatures. The approach is as follows -- the Simulacrum teleports both the Wizard and the Sim to the location, both invisible (concetration by the Sim) and flying (concentration by the Wizard). They appear at exactly 120' from one of the winged medium creatures, with surprise, and the Sim casts a 9th level dispel magic on the target. 50/50 chance. If the target doesn't disappear in a puff of snow, it the sorcerer. If it does puff. the wizard teleports out. Recasts Sim next day. Waits until the Sim reappears in the scrying, and then scrys the sorcerer because they don't have Mind Blank (having used Wish to recast Simulacrum). Attacks again, this time with precise targeting.
If the sorcerer is hit with the dispel the first time, or one the second run, the Wizard casts any damaging spell that deals 26 hitpoints or more -- you can pick it. Sorcerer is dead. Wizard cannot escape counterstrike, if one exists, from the remaining minions, but that's okay, the Wizard has a Clone.
You can pick the subclass -- doesn't matter. You can pick the spells, so long as I have the ones detailed above -- they don't matter. The Sorcerer is powerful, yes, but only because of his minions, which are his Achilles heel due to the loss of hitpoints. The needed buffs to counter this are the focus of this attack -- dispel the buffs and the sorcerer is very weak.
Did, though. Wizard is pretty smart.

Stay there -- this character is utterly unimportant if he's in his little fort (which has been detailed how that gets destroyed, but I think your last bit was demiplane, which is also losing).
Weird, you said, "I wished...." So, very confusing.
The celestial was summoned at 120'. As for Sanctuary -- you didn't cast it, because it's not on the list of things you cast that you just provided. Also, even if you did, it's been dispelled.
So far, you haven't come up with anything that actually answers the sketch I've provided -- I don't need a full build because nothing I'm doing relies on any subclass abilities, or on a complete spell list.

If it hits you, the wizard can see this via the scrying on the Sim he sent, and leap into action with his alpha against your 26 hitpoint and no spells.
Your entire build relies on the minions, which are fragile and subject to destruction, and you cannot rebuild them fast enough (or at all, with regard to the Magen). And your sorcerer completely lacks the ability to actually counterattack the wizard in any way except hoping the wizard comes back to them. You're entirely on the defensive -- the Wizard has the initiative and can dictate the pace of the engagement, which, given you MUST win in one fell swoop because you cannot withstand a protracted attrition fight, means you will lose.
Right, good catch -- Horrid Wilting is only 8th and has the advantage of taking others with you. The Celestial was a bit of a joke, but it's good you recognize the plan works up until here."The celestial was summoned at 120'. As for Sanctuary -- you didn't cast it, because it's not on the list of things you cast that you just provided. Also, even if you did, it's been dispelled."
Wished, lose concentration (can't fly) and instant killed after it.
No, it's really not. You Sim can summon one, yes, with a 8th level slot (necessary to keep up), but then can only use a 7th level slot for the planar binding. This means the Sim is down their 9th, their 8th, their 7th, and at least 1 5th. The 2nd Celestial only lasts 30 days, and then disappears. Then the cycle starts again -- the Sim is now down a second 5th slot, and a 6th slot, to get a tenday. It goes downhill from here, until your Sim is left with only 4th level and lower slots and no 2nd Celestial. And, remember, the Sim cannot use Sorcery points to create spell slots, because Simulacrum expressly forbids regaining spell slots and doesn't make an exception."He does, however, only have 1 summoned celestial -- the Simulacrum cannot maintain one without burning through his spell slots -- the lack of the 9th level slot for planar binding is the problem -- best the Sim can do is manage 180 days before starting to have to cycle slots, which they run out of pretty quickly."
No, It's 2 Celestials.
I get to say what I do, and on repeated scryings, the one on the pegasus doesn't issue commands to others, but I see them responding to commands, so they're not the leader. They're an underling."Easy, we know it's one of the two winged medium creatures. The approach is as follows -- the Simulacrum teleports both the Wizard and the Sim to the location, both invisible (concetration by the Sim) and flying (concentration by the Wizard). They appear at exactly 120' from one of the winged medium creatures, with surprise, and the Sim casts a 9th level dispel magic on the target. 50/50 chance. If the target doesn't disappear in a puff of snow, it the sorcerer. If it does puff. the wizard teleports out. Recasts Sim next day. Waits until the Sim reappears in the scrying, and then scrys the sorcerer because they don't have Mind Blank (having used Wish to recast Simulacrum). Attacks again, this time with precise targeting."
I strongly disagree.
We have 60 wingless creatures, 2 Winged Medium, 2 Winged Large and a pegasus rider that is clear a caster.
You don't know who your target is. You certainly will attack the clear caster riding a pegasus.
The rule is actually that the DM determines who's surprised. Whatever, though, I'll pick a subclass now -- Diviner. We go when I have a 20 for initiative saved up.Wrong too, that's not how Surprise works. To be surprised, you need to be successful on the stealth check. And you won't because MMD simulacrum will find you easily. It doesn't matter where you are.
Don't need to, and not sure why you think this is a lynchpin of the plan?Another problem, you cannot use invisibility and use scrying at the same time. Good luck.
Hunted -- by who? No one on your team can hunt faster than 1 kilometer a day, and that's with your interpretation that the DMM can retreiver every day. However, again, if we follow your claims, the DMM was destroyed in the first sortie -- dispelled.You will be hunted. Now, if you show up, the Galven Magen and Celestials will be ready action to kill you instantly (But, you wouldn't even have a second chance, would you?)?
Oh, sorry, you ordered this? I wasn't in your list. And, again, according to you, the DMM was targeted -- and dispelled -- first. No legendary actions, sorry.The MMD Simulacrum's legendary action casts Hold Person. Good lucky.
Lol, hasn't this been absolutely proven to be a stupid plan by now?Now Summon Retriver will find you.
Nope, it'll take you months to get here, and, in the meantime, adventurers will deal with quite a lot of your little army.The only thing you're doing is running away.
Always readying actions? Well, aside from the fact that you can't ready actions outside of combat, this seems like something I can do, as well -- ready actions for when we teleport to you. See the stupid, and why the rules don't allow this?And Demigod just wait you with Ready actions.
Yes, you keep saying this, but only offering things that have been addressed as to why you think this. I'm embarrassed for you with how badly you're twisting rules and ignoring inconvenient things when it suits you. You change your tactics and build on the fly and pretend that your change was always such, and so we missed it. In other words, you cheat, baldly, and claim shamelessly claim victory.Good lucky.
"Your entire build relies on the minions, which are fragile and subject to destruction, and you cannot rebuild them fast enough (or at all, with regard to the Magen). And your sorcerer completely lacks the ability to actually counterattack the wizard in any way except hoping the wizard comes back to them. You're entirely on the defensive -- the Wizard has the initiative and can dictate the pace of the engagement, which, given you MUST win in one fell swoop because you cannot withstand a protracted attrition fight, means you will lose.""
All of its premises were wrong.
Um, no, Clone. You really need to pay better attention.Well, with Disintegrate spell, you will die forever.
Good luck.
