He has a special rule where if he dies or is incapacitated in any way, he gets teleported into his private pocket dimension immediately. So the meat of the thread is people working out ways to get around that and the increasingly flustered OP being like, "nuh uh, Elminster would just run away before you could even get to him".

Step #1 is reminding the DM that they hate Elminster as much as you do.

He has special silver godfire that even works on anti magic zones. Other than that he’s actually kind of a lovely wizard.

That's what's really great thing about the challenge: big E is both a lame character with lovely cannot lose powers, but still very poorly designed from a game standpoint. He's not some untouchable super-threat, he's a very defeatable encounter with additional complications.

Surely there's a better way of creating a makeshift shower besides hanging the sea god high priest upside down  Also, don't clerics have their own all-purpose cantrip like Prestidigitation that could be used for that

So, how long can that High Priest of Hel vampire go without eating before the bloodlust kicks in and she attacks a cleric in their sleep?

fool_of_sound posted:There is a guide to undead hungers in Liber Mortis but I don't really care to check what it is. Looking over that section, it basically breaks down into three categories: no requirement to feed, inescapable cravings, and diet dependent. First one doesn't actually need to eat nor feel any compulsion to, and is sustained purely by negative energy. Second one doesn't actually need what they crave to function, but it can eventually drive them into mindless hunger if they go too long without indulging it, but once they've sated the craving, it drops back to a tolerable level. Third one actually requires the undead to feed on something in order to maintain its mobility and/or some of its powers, but starving it of whatever it feeds on won't do anything to permanently disable or destroy it. It'll regain full mobility and use of its suppressed abilities as soon as they get a fresh infusion of whatever they feed on. They can typically go about 3d6 months before they lose all mobility from being starved. Vampires and vampire spawn are listed as having an inescapable craving for life force and are diet dependent on blood. There's also a sidebar with rules for dealing with the effects of inescapable cravings and being diet dependent for undead PCs.

Old Kentucky Shark posted:Ed Greenwood is the Will Ferrel character from that SNL skit where Will Ferrel and Rachel Dratch are weird hippy swingers in a hot tub hitting on strangers, talking about his "Lovahs". Saying all that triggered a suppressed memory about how one of the writers of the Legion of Superhero (I think it was Paul Levitz) did a detail breakdown on some long gone site of the Legionnaires sexual kinks and which ones had the biggest dick. (On a technical scale it was Colossal Boy. If proportionality was taken into account, it was Starboy.)

I imagine there would've been people unbound by the godsmoot taking care of the facility and supplying food and refreshments, but Nokrud went and made all of them into vampires.

Gun Jam posted:Heroes’ Feast spell : did it specify if it can/can't nourish a vampire? The spell description does not specify that it nourishes anyone, only that the targets spend an hour eating “ambrosial” food and gain statistical benefits as a result. Compare this to Goodberry, which explicitly states a berry provides nourishment equivalent to a “normal” meal. In other words, DM discretion.

I wonder if Durkon had told the others about how they would need to convince redcloak to help them. I mean, maybe he did or maybe he wanted to wait until the immediate danger had passed. Either way it would be interesting to see how they react to even how they go about it.

It definitely was not Paul Levitz if only because he was the publisher of DC comics at the time and would have the good sense not to write that. It was, in fact, Jim Shooter who wrote that several years before he became EiC of Marvel Comics. Shooter broke into comics by writing the Legion when he was fourteen so you can see how something that stupid could occur.

Also D4 Chan had a piece about Ed Greenwood's work on Forgotten Realms. Including how he had it in his contract that if they tried retconning his stuff, he'd regain control of it or something.
