I think Morgoth should have at least the same Acausality ability as Alduin. The moment Morgoth is truly destroyed is the moment Arda ceases to exist, as shown by the Dagor Dagorath and as quoted on Morgoth's Ring: "Just as Sauron concentrated his power in the One Ring, Morgoth dispersed his...
It's not the only necromancy deleterious to undead . If you were still to argue undead to dead is another case entirely (but hey, it's still the power of death, unlife, and the life force), nothing states whether undead to dead manipulates positive or negative energy. In the first case, than...
His Ta'veren power is a in-universe name for plot armor. Its passive Probability Manipulation that constantly ensure Rand's own survival (winds would deflect arrows, Rand would move, twist or turn at the right time to avoid a fatal wound, people and animals would find themselves into the...
Plot armor vs Plot armor.
Dovahkiin vs Rand al'Thor
High 6-A vs High 6-A. Mid-game Dovahkiin vs mid-game Rand (aka Rand with Choedan Kal).
Dovahkiin:
Randowiz:
Inconclusive:
Strahd has a way to protect himself against any wish used to gain information about him, even indirectly. RAW: mind blank even foils limited wish, miracle, and wish spells when they are used in such a way as to affect the subject's mind or to gain informatio about it.
It still is a necromancy...
As I said, TGoALiD is not enough on its own. Ainz also needs to 1) destroy Strahd's coffin, and 2) severe Strahd link to Barovia, otherwise the vampire may just pop back 1 hour later.
I'm not sold on that
RAW: Immunity to any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects or is harmless).
So TGOALID can technically work on him.
again: any cleric and most 3e deities (which usually have 20 cleric levels)?
Didn't we talked about that on your...
The only thing I can say is that, since 1) the Dark One could manifest (the term Rand uses) channelers like the dark Nynaeve of the first "future" he showed Rand, 2) Rand had the exact same Creation power as the Dark One, and 3) Callandor is part of his Standard Equipment,-> Rand can replicate...
I think Eru should scale all the powers of the Ainur since it's pretty clear they are only fragments of his thoughts:
and he made first the Ainur, the Holy Ones, that were the offspring of his thought [...] each comprehended only that part of me mind of Il├║vatar from which he came
and
Then...
about these other two I'm not so sure, however I will note them:
Not only Rand endured everything another 2-A trown at him, but he also Power Absorbed and totally overpowered the Dark One (I will CRT the Power Absorption thing):
Rand punched through the blackness there and created a conduit...
Rand should be somewhat above baseline too: when focused he resisted the assault the Dark One (a fellow 2-A) with ridiculous easy.
The Dark One attacked him. It came like a storm. A burst of wind so terrible, it threatened to rip Rand's skin from his bones. He stood tall, eyes toward the...
That's not entirely true, some scaling has to be done. As Tolkien himself explained in his Letter 246.
On facing a Sauron weakened by the loss of the One Ring, Tolkien is adamantine:
In his actual presence none but very few of equal stature could have hoped to withhold it from him. [...]...
The Dovahkiin being a master of Alteration may very well be a non-factor: he still need to be happening to know a spell to survive outer space or a vacuum, which to my knowledge he doesn't know. In order to be able to craft such a spell he still needs: 1) he needs time and the fight doesn't...
Doesn't At least High 1-B means the CK should also be somewhat above baseline, which is his Los' incarnation?
Can't the Crimson King cause Bathesda financial failure, orchestrate the assassination of Michale Kirkbride, close the internet domain of the Imperial Library, hire writers to rewrite...

The Scarlet King
1-B keys
Should the Scarlet King use his weakened key?
On a different note: Opposed to daylight , the light produced by a hellball is perfectly visible outside the area of effect and range of the spell, so that spell must be generating energy. Can someone calculate how much energy an infernal hellball spell is generating to produce radiance equal to...
That calculation would leave Tiamat 11 levels below Demogorgon, while Demogorgon himself is unchanged. Also it disregard the whole Epic Destiny thing that was the big part of epic levels in 4e: a 30th level character war one ready to ascend to divinity. To me it's clearly better to study case by...
from Morgoth's profile
So speed is still a problem. Also the Breathing Water book support that water breathing spells act like a philter to gain oxigen from water in the same way as fishes, which is a different thing entirely from surviving in a vacuum.
Ok, so to recap things that have...
I don't think MasterOfArda is correct when saying Morgoth required to speak: he did so when he had no body and was within the Timeless Hall (a void that would carry no sound), and again he had no body when he claimed Arda Unfinished; so the "music" and "Morgoth said" things should have been...
Yes, I concur. I've consulted both Fiendish Codex I-II and there isn't anything more specific regarding the time.
Regarding archdemons, Clone is not a viable spell for combat due to its casting time and aspects are usually so significantly weaker than the original they are likely to flee and...
"Reincarnation" via proxy/clone or aspect would be instant, though the latter would stive deprive him of a significant chunk of his power (ala Obox-Ob). In any case it would still take him "several months" to regain any power he may have lost.
There is no sequel to Savage Tides, it was the last...
Savage Tides on Dungeon Magazine #150 (Prince of Demon article) does state regardless of the amount lost it takes Demogorgon several months to regain all its power but it doesn't get any more clear than that (however Demogorgon can no longer use gate only after losing roughly a full 1/4 of his...
Ok, one last clarification though: if Errtu regen is to be taken by example, he just cannot exit the Abyss for 100 years by itself but it can still be summoned. So if an outsider has the ability to interact with other planes (for example: gate can be used to strike from your plane to another, or...
Except, at least in the Infernal case, they are since they are outsiders native of an external plane and take the subtype of their native plane: an ousider is by definition:
Well this is an ability all outsiders have in some degree, as shown by the balor Errtu which had his body destroyed on the material plane by Drizzt but regenerated in the Abyss (the books in question are The Crystal Shard, where Errtu got killed, and then Siege of Darkness and Passage to Daw...
yet as you quoted the Immortality voice for deities says:
All deities (even those of rank 0) are naturally immortal and cannot die from natural causes. Deities do not age, and they do not need to eat, sleep, or breathe. The only way for a deity to die is through special circumstances
