Battle for #5 9-B: Hatou Manabu vs an Imp (D&D)

Well Hatou is too fast but it doesn't seem like she can affect the Imp.
 
Wasn't the damage resistance of the Imp fully damage of acid and holy? I think anything else can damage it, just less damage. Also, why those it make the imp comparable to Hatou?
 
That just means that the imp (the species) will continue to spawn due to the existence of the concept, not that the same imp (or a different one) will appear exactly in the same spot shortly after it was destroyed, at least, I do not remember a profile it says that.
 
Judging by the actual quote I'm pretty sure it's actually referring to the individual imps themselves being just apparitions as opposed to the general concept of imp.
 
The individual can still be destroyed, its the illusion of the flesh, but still tangible. If destroyed, that particular imp is gone, at least for the moment.
 
Reading the source for that it seems to just be saying the species is derived from a concept and given physical form through the nature of magic.

Also, Hatou's probabilities allow her to switch to a universe where the laws of physics allow for magic, that implies that her default world's laws of physics don't allow for the existence of magic, so by making the universe they're fighting in switch to follow her own natural world's laws of physics, couldn't she effectively remove the imp's capacity to exist?

While we can debate about the magic thing, her physics manipulation abilities are limited by her observation ability. A completly normal real life universe should be perfectly observable.
 
That's what I figured. In that case, I'd say she observes the universe as a real life universe, and the imp should just kinda stops being able to function.

Voting for Hatou.
 
I actually don't see what the Imp can do, is not really indestructible and his powers aren't the big deal, even if it has the chance to resist possibility, nothing avoid Hatou to use probability to her favor. Quantum invisibility also avoid her to be see, so most attacks from the Imp would miss, most powers from it requiere contact.
 
So, I guess that the current AP difference is too high. Although, personally I think that Hatou was much for the imp.

It... is literally a thought... though...

As for the 9-A thing, I actually somewhat disagree. At best they become At least 9-B, possibly 9-A. Since the singular 9-A calc comes from a single version of a spell that's 9-B otherwise.
 
A though made flesh, is not specially intangible like an Incorporeal, and the profile refer to the specie in general with no suggestion of the'll reborn once instantly killed, at least not the 3.5 Imp (or few 3.5 devils).

People also suggest that Hatou could be 9-A, but not sure.
 
No. A thought given the illusion of flesh. Look at the quote. And they won't be reborn once killed, you just have to actually hit them.

Okay.
