Vader vs Soth: Fight! Who wins?

[Dioltach]

Vader. See the corridor scene from the end of Rogue One. And he's already survived worse than Soth could throw at him. Fireball? Pfff!

I mean, assume their powers work. Otherwise it's all a bit pointless!

Vader just stays in space. Maybe Death Stars the planet Soth is on.

Depends who gets initiative.

I could see Vader trying to Force-choke Soth and failing, which lets Soth get a fireball in (I'm going to assume Soth can size up Vader and assume he has too many HP for a PWK.) If Soth gets initiative, bang, fireball.

My sympathies are actually with Vader as the star of the larger franchise, but that's the way I see it.

If you really wanted there are d20 stats for each from the 3e era.

Vader senses the attack and force leaps out of range. Plus he can deflect energy as we see in Empire Strikes Back.

The Death Star is a reinforcement. It’s just Vader vs Soth.

Once you start down the path of Snarfian Rules, forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you, it will.

Vader betrays Sidious, train Darth Soth as his apprentice.

Interestingly, both characters are said to have 17 class levels using the 3E rules; Darth Vader in the Star Wars Core Rulebook: Revised Edition and Lord Soth in The War of the Lance sourcebook. But the latter also has a +5 CR template ("Death Knight of Krynn") from the 3.5 Dragonlance Campaign Setting, so in terms of comparable mechanics, Soth seems to have the edge.

Realistically you'd have to go through each of those massive stat blocks and try to use all the abilities to their best, which would require a good knowledge of both games. I don't even want to think about it.

Morrus: would it be fair use for me to go to the links, buy the gamebooks, and post the stat blocks here?

You misspelled "Spock," but I knew what you meant.

They are the same guy....

But I am going to go with Soth and second power word kill

What level is Vader ?
