Why do I have to keep explaining this...
the ravens have it
He can summon ravens. They're incorporeal and can perform the spells that the drinker can besides the fear stare and disfigurement tongue. Even if not, the ravens can also be used to free him once webbed
Oh right, the ravens can do spells. If I recall, they prefer their summoner's spells so they don't really Reality Warp in-character
The profile doesn't contain any explanation, so it's normal for people to not have a clear idea of how these powers work.
Wait, does it at least require a gesture? And is it AoE?
Movement of a finger, instant-target of a single target.
Wait, then how would the crows do that?
Hang on, please. Spidey ironically might actually stand a chance. It's gesture based and spidey always starts with restraint
I'll be honest chief, I don't know where you got the "Crows cast spells for him" thing.
Can direct them as a free action. I assumed it meant that the crows can do actions the drinker canI'll be honest chief, I don't know where you got the "Crows cast spells for him" thing.
This is Spiderman. He starts by webbing up his opponent's limbs. Plus doesn't the drinker start with the disfigurement tongue attack?
I'll go with Helmed Horror if there is absolutely no chance but I'll try to explain how this can work
Trash Machine, Metal Gear Ray, GIGA Queen are all robots. Zoro will start with slashing off the drinker's hands and tongue at once if given prior knowledge and Sasuke is a Naruto character. It's fine
Does spider-sense work on non-contact threats, though? Like, specifically a death-magic-imbued finger twitch? Further, with the Drinker's better speed, does it even matter? A single finger movement is surely faster than Spiderman aiming and pinning the Drinker. Even if the Drinker becomes restrained, I suspect by that time Spidey would be dead.
If it's dangerous, it activates. It is supposedly that simple
This is Finger of Death's spell description

I don't think that's enough to get blitzed. Plus as I said
So dodging isn't really an option
Its easier to point a finger than shoot webs.
I did say this happens under the assumption that Drinker starts with his tongue attack and doesn't immediately go for death finger. By then, he'd be wrapped up in a ton of webs.
is this ic or bloodlusted?
SBA so no, no bloodlust
VD is considered a 14th level caster for the purposes of its spell-like abilities, so the effective range of its FoD is 18 meters and some change. It needs to make a few steps forward and point. So yeah I don't really see any reasonable means of Spidey winning, at all. I'm willing to go with the idea that Spiderman could do... something, however unlikely the scenario is. So I guess I vote VD. I'll leave it to the tournament people to decide whether to continue using them or not, just bear in mind VD has no objective reason to not instant kill his enemies.
Wait so you're telling me that the titular move in the summaries of this creature I read is not its starting move? I have made a grave mistake. Okay yeah, this is a stomp
A decent swath of D&D monsters with some degree of intelligence mostly like hiding in a hole in the ground and setting up traps. If forced to fight they tend to blow their powerful spells early to rapidly end the fight.
It seems fine, sure.
