    Small Voldemort revision

    "All this long night, when I am on the brink of victory, I have sat here," said Voldemort, his voice barely louder than a whisper, "wondering, wondering, why the Elder Wand refuses to be what it ought to be, refuses to perform as legend says it must perform for its rightful owner... and I think...

    Harry Potter and The Rainbow Butterfly (Grace Period)

    True, the first thing he does is probably run away. At which point he's got an invisibility cloak. He can and has used the Imperius Curse in character, and there's also that other time he tried an unforgivable curse in a fight, so he can definitely attempt it without it being an OOC move...

    Harry Potter and The Rainbow Butterfly (Grace Period)

    Not to throw too large a spanner in the works here, but Harry has an invisibility cloak in his standard equipment and he's got the Imperius Curse. Holly can't detect invisible stuff and she doesn't resist mind manip.

    A guilty Gear fights a mad champion: Sol Badguy vs the Champion of Cyrodiil

    Keep in mind that CoC is invisible until his first attack, then chameleon (i.e. virtually invisible to all but the sharpest of perception) for the rest of the battle, and is a master of stealth even without those. It doesn't matter what Sol tries, he's fighting something he will never see, can't...

    Kylo Ren vs High Templar

    Just to put this to rest at long last, High Templar with Feedback & Psi Storm FRA. Which gives High Templar vote seven. Although grace should probably last a year due to the rate votes have been coming in :)

    Talion vs Lifestealer

    Talion is a master of stealth, and Lifestealer is not a tracker at all, let alone one good enough to find Talion if he doesn't want to be found. Talion can also turn invisible, which is not listed on his profile for some reason. Talion is also significantly more intelligent than Lifestealer...

    Hermiome Granger vs Jones 4 - 4

    The first time yes, she'll probably think it's working, but after a couple with no sign of Jones staying down she'll figure out that something else needs to be done. That said, it would technically mean Jones would never be able to close to melee, since Hermione can knock her back with Stupefy...

    Hermiome Granger vs Jones 4 - 4

    Feel free to join in, we're still debating :) The aura point is that Hermione won't detect an aura from Jones either, so she's not figuring out that Jones is or isn't a witch by her aura, or lack thereof. Is Jones holding a weapon? She doesn't have one in her standard equipment, and there...

    Pretty sure it's still 3-3. We're just having a leisurely, slightly more in depth and theoretical debate while we wait for other people to notice the thread.

    Hermiome Granger vs Jones 4 - 4

    Since when has Hermione been able to sense auras without a spell? When would a witch try running at someone at the start of a fight rather than pull out their wand? Why wait until Jones is close to use Protego when she can immobilise her from much further away? If it takes place anywhere...

    Hermiome Granger vs Jones 4 - 4

    1. Fair enough, I didn't remember all the times she uses Expelliarmus, although you'll note that one is practice and the other two are surprise attacks, so we haven't seen her use it in a fight per se. 2. Thank you. 3. She's faced enemies knowing they are impervious to her magics, so she...

    Hermiome Granger vs Jones 4 - 4

    1. My point is we only know of two occasions where she definitively does use it. There are other fights where we have no idea what spells she uses. I can only think of one occasion where she uses Expelliarmus, but I'm not going to argue that it won't occur to her to use it under any other...

    Hermiome Granger vs Jones 4 - 4

    Wait, you are arguing that she won't think to use a certain spell in a fight and then state that 50% of the times we know for sure she uses it happened in a fight. Not only that, but the fight is very short (no more than 3 spells from anyone, from memory). So we have a short fight and we know...

    Hermiome Granger vs Jones 4 - 4

    Are we all forgetting that Hermione can teleport and has used it to get away from danger? The Deathly Hallows. From memory, Hermione does multiple teleports in quick succession to lose the Death Eater when they escape the Ministry of Magic. She certainly didn't have time to prepare or think it...

    A Spooky Lil' Ghost vs A Ghost But Not Quite Although It's Still Pretty Close (Spooky vs Talion: 1 MORE VOTE LEFT)

    Talion doesn't need contact for mind control. It's quicker through contact, but he does have a ranged, non-contact version, which incapacitates upon being started and doesn't release until finished. Since she's non-corporeal, that is the version he uses. As for what Spooky does against someone...

    A Spooky Lil' Ghost vs A Ghost But Not Quite Although It's Still Pretty Close (Spooky vs Talion: 1 MORE VOTE LEFT)

    Spooky has Spatial Manipulation and can teleport Talion wherever she likes. Which means all she has to do is teleport away from him, make a room with no exit, and then teleport Talion in there. He can't walk through walls and although Talion can see through walls, I've never tried teleporting...

    A Spooky Lil' Ghost vs A Ghost But Not Quite Although It's Still Pretty Close (Spooky vs Talion: 1 MORE VOTE LEFT)

    Speed is equalised, but Talion has two abilities that give him temporary speed buffs. Since they are not disabled through speed equalization, he's still faster.

    A Spooky Lil' Ghost vs A Ghost But Not Quite Although It's Still Pretty Close (Spooky vs Talion: 1 MORE VOTE LEFT)

    Talion does not automatically see the strengths and weaknesses of an enemy before he goes into a fight. Talion gains info on strengths and weaknesses in two different ways; the first is the standard fight them and figure it out from that, the second is to get into their head (or the head of...

    Alex Mercer vs Talion

    The ability does cause mind control when Talion gets access to it, so it's more likely a mind manipulation causing the pain. Of course, it's magic of some description. There's also no mechanic to limit Talion's use of mind control; it's quick and effective, or you stab/ shoot/ burn/ drop flies...

    Alex Mercer vs Talion

    Talion would be able to teleport into the helicopter, kill the crew, return to the ground and shoot Mercer in the back before Mercer reached the helicopter. Lethal Shadow Strike Chaining gets crazy (award goes to teleporting away from an incoming attack to kill an archer, then teleporting back...

    A Spooky Lil' Ghost vs A Ghost But Not Quite Although It's Still Pretty Close (Spooky vs Talion: 1 MORE VOTE LEFT)

    If that is the case, Talion gets within short range and wins. His ranged drain incapacitates the target and applies brand, and if it is allowed here the moment he uses it he wins, since we don't see anything save itself from the drain once it starts. Without mind hax resist Spooky is controlled.

    Shadow of Mordor/War: Revision

    I've never seen one do it, but I'll take your word for it. Obviously my monster slayers have been wimps. They do one shot Caragors, usually while I'm riding them. They then fail to kill me, because despite the mind control, resurrection, sucking the life out of things, brutalize murders and so...

    Shadow of Mordor/War: Revision

    I'm fine with him being 8-A, the guy's slaughters half of Mordor and enslaves the other half. It's specifically his AP that I'm asking about. Neither Talion nor any of the Captains can do enough damage in a single attack against a Graug (in Shadow of Mordor, I haven't played Shadow of War) to...

    Alex Mercer vs Talion

    Wraith drain, I don't think it has an official name, but I call it that because it has the drain effect and doesn't require Talion to grab hold of an enemy (so it works on enemies you can't grab). Enemy is immobilised, appears to have an upward force applied to either their chest or head...

    Alex Mercer vs Talion

    Anything hit by Talion's ranged version of Wraith Drain has been shown to be unable to take any action at all both during and for a short time after the attack. If Mercer can be hit then he has no capacity to act in any way until it is over, and the time between uses is unlikely to be long...

    Shadow of Mordor/War: Revision

    So how is Talion getting a multi city block AP from his fight with the legendary Graug? He makes at minimum dozens of attacks, possibly into the hundreds, against it, primarily after it stuns itself after running head first into a massive rock. Not only that, but most of those attacks are made...

    Alex Mercer vs Talion

    Fight goes; Talion sees Mercer, Mercer sees Talion, Talion holds out hand, Mercer levitates slightly in the air while slowly being damaged. Mercer drops to the ground, Talion raises hand again. Repeat until Mercer is gone. Unless something interrupts him Talion can prevent Mercer from making a...

    A Spooky Lil' Ghost vs A Ghost But Not Quite Although It's Still Pretty Close (Spooky vs Talion: 1 MORE VOTE LEFT)

    At the point he can dominate minds he has killed the Hammer, and is more than halfway from 8-A to 7-A. And nobody has confirmed if he can even use his brand against Spooky yet. Anyway, how does Talion fight Spooky? For the most part he seems to go into fight Batman style; gather intelligence...

    A Spooky Lil' Ghost vs A Ghost But Not Quite Although It's Still Pretty Close (Spooky vs Talion: 1 MORE VOTE LEFT)

    Talion's mind hax at the beginning (i.e. his 8a profile) is limited to reading minds, which requires physical contact, and causing fear (via his drain skill), which does not require physical contact. His mind control doesn't become available until over halfway through the game, so I doubt that...

    Potterverse - Vanishing Spell

    So we can't say the object has truly been targeted by existence erasure because "we don't really know" doesn't mean "it no longer exists". The object is just not locatable within time and space until it is retrieved. So since anyone with the knowhow and magic can return something after it's been...

    Potterverse - Vanishing Spell

    Do we know how things are retrieved? Does it require a reversal spell, or can it wear off over time? If it is the first case, then it becomes Existence Erasure as long as it is never reversed, but if it simply wears off in time then it's more a temporary BFR. If there is a reversal spell then...

    Hermiome Granger vs Jones 4 - 4

    Hermione would probably use the same standard open as most non-dark magic-users; Stupefy. Or, for more hilariousness, Levicorpus. Jones' invulnerable status doesn't matter when she is hanging upside down in the air, and there's a whole list of "making people drop things" spells for Hermione to...

    Harry Potter vs Antimony Carver

    Yeah, if he's not in character then Imperio victory. If he is in character and goes for his standard openers then it'll be Stupefy. If she dodges he's got Protego against her flames, and if he's allowed his invisibility cloak then she doesn't even know where specifically to target, so she's...

    Regarding Mind based Powers

    40K is an example, though, and therefore we need a system that includes it. And saying "the GEOM's mind is just high 1-B/1-A", does that mean that simply having a higher level of any mind power at all gives immunity to any lower level mind manipulation feats?

    Alright, so if we've got multiple different ways mindhax can be performed, and subsequently different ways that they can be resisted. Then we come across a universe where we don't know which method is being used, do we simply say "ignores immunity" because we can always argue it's using a...

    Regarding Mind based Powers

    What about cases where a character has mindhax, but has never gone up against someone else with them, or don't even have anyone else in their own verse capable of them? In those cases it's impossible to even figure out if these powers can be separated within their verse. There should be some...
