[QUOTE="Kerrick, post: 2721143, member: 4722"] You've got to be kidding... not only is this thing poorly designed, like Anabster pointed out, it's twice as long as it needs to be. Do we [i]really[/i] need to know what the cometary dragon is doing when Kratos attacks it? And "He then counter attacks with a truly terrifying attack". And "paradoxial". Come on, UK... I hope you were planning on running this through an editor again. I thought over this for a little bit, and I can't figure out any way to explain it. I figured out that cometary dragons exist in a separate time stream, from the looks of it - one round in the future. Of course, this makes it easy to combat them - you just bring it into the area of a pre-existing time lock, e.g., where time-affecting effects don't work (like insight), or have someone under the effects of a temporal ward (immune to time-viewing effects, again, like insight) attack it. But, really, the logistics of such an ability are nearly impossible to wrap the mind around - it would be nearly impossible to kill such a being, since it would see a death blow coming and would act that round to avoid it. You might also trap it with some kind of epic spell that traps beings in a given path of time for x rounds, kind of like [i]time stop[/i]. That way, the dragon wouldn't be abe to "time jump" away, because the spell eliminates all other timelines, taking the one the caster chooses and making it the ONLY one. [/QUOTE]
