A Planetar Conjecture

Post by Dark Rook »

I`ve just had a revelation, but as I`m starting out with a new char I have not yet been able to test it.

The lvl 9 wish spell sometimes allows you to conjure forth another enemy..this tends to be a planetar..now what if one of your mages was to cast this sequence of spells (having already summoned a planetar)

Time stop, greater alacrity, lower resist* 3, greater malison, domination.

would this be enough to have a chance at charming it...could a planetar be charmed (considering that it is a planar being)

Tell me what you think...I`d *very* much apreciate your imput.

I seriously doubt it would work. Just because a planetar is not from your realm, and (AFAIK) that wouldn't work on dragon or demon, which are also unnatural creatures.

Please report your findings.

Planetars are immune to Charm spells.
There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.

Sojourner, are you sure? I seem to remember my planetars being turned against me a couple of times.

You probably hurt them by mistake.

I'm sure - checked it with Infinity Explorer. You must have accidently injured the Planetar.

Planetars are outsiders, and outsiders cannot be charmed. Granted, of course, Haer'Dalis is also and outsider, and should not be charmed, but I think that happens anyway.
