A Sword Without a Hilt: A Song of Ice and Fire/D&D 3.5 Crossover

I know it's dumb but I really do want to see at least one group of knights V. a couple of praetorians while in Westeros, preferably on mirror vision with WWE style commentary.

Seeing a bioengineered super solider vertically bisect a knight and his horse in one blow seems like a fantastic way to close their chapter of history.:V

Well, pardner, the Mountain that rides is infamous for being an eight foot tall monster who one-hands a Greatsword.

A Praetorian wields a sword that makes the Mountain look like he's undercompensating... and the shortest is around 6'9". So they are STOUT.

The taller ones are anywhere from seven and a half to eight feet.

And Sandor is ten feet tall... and WIDER.

@egoo, you know what to do.

@Goldfish, how much could Viserys or Dany Harden something? Because I think at least the Praetori equipment should definitely be treated by them personally, both for symbolic value and for maximum ridiculous ultra-hardness. If a Praetori shield can't take a few love taps from a raging Balor without breaking, it's shoddy quality.

@Goldfish We're also going to have Stalwart Pact and Renewal Pact applied to all of them via Chained Spell.

Preferably in an on-screen ritual oath-taking.
 
Is there any way we could permanence Fortify Metal or Stone on the Praetorians' weapons and armor? Even if it doesn't stack with regular hardening having twice the HP and hardness as the base object and a +10 to break DC sounds like all kinds of fun. It's "because fuck you, that's why" the material property.

With the right buffs, Viserys can cast spells at 30th level, which translates to +15 Hardness when a Hardening spell is used.

Also don't forget that each +1 Enhancement bonus of a magic weapon, armor, or shield, increases its Hardness by +2 and it's HP by +10. This only counts for actual Enhancement bonuses, not special abilities that are effective bonuses.

So if Viserys casts the Hardening spell with maximum effort, baseline Imperial Steel, with its default +2 Enhancement bonus and Hardness of 20 due to the Adamantine-like properties engineered into it, will have a Hardness of 39.

Recalcitrant Noble: "How did you carve through my castle walls?! More importantly, WHY!?"

Praetorian Centurion: "Because FUCK YOU that's why."
 
Inb4 we get a some very squat Praetorians (among the thousands, we're bound to) who just love digging straight through enemy fortifications. With their weapons.

Ah, the sweet smell of arbitrary economy breaking what little remained of the balance...
Soon enough we'll be able to handwave any given taskforce being entirely mindblanled from the sheer amount of those in the supply we'd have :V

Who are the recipients this time?

Also, gotta ask all our Fey, after we finish the subjugation of CoS, whether they can make a third variant of Mindblank that'd stack with the others.
You know, for science.

We need to use him to gaslight his brother.

Is there any form of selective invisibility or perception filter spell out there?

Have him just randomly walk past and cheerfully greet Gregor then disappear around corner while Gregor starts asking people if they saw the giant version of his brother only he can see or hear.

How long until every Companion has both regular Mind Blank and a Psionic Mind Blank?

Sandor just appears at random times and places acting friendly and as if nothing is out of the ordinary before disappearing, then after a few weeks of this he just leans in and says "Father says it's my turn to be The Mountain now" then knocks Gregor unconscious splashes him with strong alcohol and leaves him on the Red Keeps doorstep surrounded by empty bottles of booze, afterwards he waits a day and then when Gregor goes to bed he starts acting the part of the monster under the bed/in the cupboard...

Yes, though if what I've heard about Gregor is true you could probably get away with using Hide from Animals.

Use both the whole point is that Gregor is the only one who knows he's there.

Sorry, my mind went a couple different places for "gaslight him with perception filters" and I didn't really outline the bit I made a joke about.

The first would be for stuff like you described. The second (if it actually applied) would be for doing things like arranging for Gregor to be the only person who didn't see his brother in small groups in an effort to convince him people are messing with him. Getting him to go off on his own servants or close associates for trying to help him would make a delightful mess of his life in managed properly.

Another fun one would be his lack of reaction to his brother's presence to imply that he knows he's present and is deliberately not doing anything about it. The only thing better than one layer of confusion is two contradictory ones that different people are acting on while assuming everyone knows and agrees with their version of events. :V

Unfortunately he doesn't actually qualify as an animal, and the nearest equivalent that might work on him is from 3e. We might be able to replicate it with bloodwish if we really wanted to though.
