[QUOTE="Alpha Polaris, post: 1679815, member: 16270"] Ok, so my character is a 11th level drow, cleric of Lolth. We are way behind in terms of gold and magic items, and it would be very difficult for me to buy anything non-trivial. In our last game session, we met a Siloë, "PC turned NPC", whom we thought was dead (since the PC disappeared during a battle), and who therefore has a grudge against us (the PCs), since he feels we let him down. Behing drows, and all, we're not going to cry him a river, basically what we told him, so he came to the point. He was talking on behalf of my character's hierarchical superior, who has learned that I was making deals with a nearby pack of Fangs of Lolth, and takes it too personally (she thinks I'm going to use them to take her over, which by the way, I am, but this is not the point). So he commanded me to step down, or... Ensues a bunch of not so veiled threats. Now Siloë is (was) a Rog 10 / Asn 3 with a bunch of HP (around 120), nasty sneak attaks, a critical threat range of 15-20 and so on. So this guy is all about criticals. I suppose the DM will have geared him up with some nasty new surprises. I'd like some advice on how to kick the living crap out of him should he decide to become violent. If possible, using only WotC material, little or no equipment, and the one feat (if possible, metamagic) that I will be getting soon (at 12th, my first choice woul be the one to extend duration). I thought about using Veil of Darkness for the 20% miss chance, thus foiling sneak attacks, but True Strike is on the Assassin's spell list, so... Then I might use Living Undeath to become immune to crits and sneaks, but this eats up one 6th level spell slot. I'm a big fan of Heightened Hold Person myself, but the drow SR becomes a real problem in this case (caster level check against 24, ergh...). So how would you guys lay the smack on this arrogant killer ? [/QUOTE]
