Of course, he's also likely to perform a Heroic Sacrifice long before then because he's kind of Robot Jesus like that.

Any fight Sisitu gets in, she'll either summon a meat shield or summon something to get her out of there. Just because she can't be permanently killed, doesn't make her a risk-taker.

I don't think they'd be irresistible mind-controllers even with full Charisma.

I guess so, but someone just hard to resist then. And with full charisma, I believe they'd get a +5 bonus, which makes all their actions pretty much successful unless they have a major penalty on them.

This is a D20 we're talking about. It's a significant bonus, yes, but not a game-breaking one. Or at least, so I think.

So it wouldn't be on the same scale Olthar uses? I guess that certainly changes it.

Olthar uses a D6.

Any +5 bonus on a D6 would be an utterly bullshit gamebreaker bonus. .

Not necessarily. Later, you're going to be fighting enemies with attack and defense bonuses higher than that.

I tell you that you'll be fighting enemies that could utterly destroy you right now without even trying, and you just go "meh?"

Well, it's not exactly something unique...

Besides I assume there'll be lots of penalties as well, so wouldn't it all boil down to the same as if you had small bonuses?

I don't even know for sure who I'll use next arc,

Except for Voltaire. -Nods-

Don't expect him to show up very often, though. I'm pretty much planning for him to show up out of nowhere at the midway point, fight and defeat the mid-boss and then die from a Heroic Sacrifice during said mid-boss.

Everybody loves Voltaire. Both the philosopher and the music group.

He's Optimus Prime. That's what he's good at. He's almost as eager to sacrifice himself as Bella Swann.

I can barely handle one.

Who I'm talking about is neither. .

I don't think anyone's there to react but Crowley.

Unless you mean later in the aftermath.

@Erin: Spur of the moment, mainly.

Epilogue. As in after the main plot is done.
