[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 8660102, member: 58197"] Really? Iggwilv seems singularly weak to Vecna. Her damage is all lightning and necrotic, and Vecna has resistance to both. She likes to toss around the charmed and frightened conditions, to which Vecna is immune. And her pack of hezrous can't touch Vecna at all--he is immune to every type of damage they can do. Meanwhile, Vecna's main attacks are DC 22 Con saves, and Iggwilv's Con save is a pathetic +4. Even with advantage, she's only going to make the save 28% of the time. Her three shots of Legendary Resistance will evaporate like a puddle in Death Valley. She only has two things going for her that I can see. She's got [I]wish[/I] once per day, and Fey Beguilement. But Vecna only needs to roll 7 or better to save against Fey Beguilement, and he's got five shots of Legendary Resistance to back him up any time he fails. As for [I]wish[/I], that has to get past Vecna's Dread Counterspell. If he blows the roll, what can she do with it? [I]Simulacrum [/I]maybe, duplicating either herself or Vecna? But a duplicate of Vecna would be missing two of his key abilities--it doesn't have Afterthought and it can't heal itself with Vile Teleport--and Vecna is pretty resistant to his own attacks. And a duplicate of Iggwilv would have no better options than the original. [I]Maybe[/I], if she cast [I]wish[/I] on the first round for [I]simulacrum[/I] on herself, and Vecna failed his Dread Counterspell check, and then both of them blasted Vecna steadily with Fey Beguilement, she could wear down his LR and get him mind-controlled before he overwhelmed her with raw damage. But I'd still put my money on Vecna. [/QUOTE]
