Cheshire's just what, a Tzeentchi daemon of some sort? It's honestly pretty damn obvious in WH40k terms that Alice fell down a hole into a daemon world. I don't recall if there were any Nurgle aligned  critters in there, but you had the Tzeentch cat and mad hatter, the Khornite Queen (Skulls for the skull throne), the Slaaneshi caterpillar... most of the non-Alice characters in that book fall nicely in line with one of the Chaos factions.

By and large, Urkis is neutered by stun immunity, if you can get it by that point (several ghoul combinations have that easy, heh.). Lightning resistance helps, but most of his actually dangerous stuff (freeze, hurricane) is either drastically less dangerous or outright ignored if you're immune to stuns.

Otherwise, just go in with a magical wild and a teleport rune (or psychoport torque), drop the pain, bounce out, nix hurricane if it's on you, heal up, repeat. Unless he lucks out with regen armor, he's got no means of healing. Y'can attrit 'im to death pretty easily.

... how's that work, exactly? 'Cause it's... not at their expense. At all.

And I don't exactly think you're there to help other people pass tests. If you are, it should be by helping them study and learn, not by intentionally performing poorly. That cheapens your experience and steals their chance to be evaluated appropriately. It benefits no one.

So, feel good about your score. If you did well, you did well. You literally can't succeed at the expense of others in that situation. They're not involved in your good performance.

- Does Gandalf's light shield thingy repel Avada Kedavra? It stopped the freaking Balrog, but AK is claimed to be unstoppable... so maybe, maybe not. Unstoppable force, meet immovable object.

Well, AK's not quite unstoppable, it just can't be stopped with magic and if it hits something living, it kills them. A thrown rock can theoretically stop an AK, if it manages to hit one. Table, wall, hat, whatever (though if it's in contact with flesh, it kills. Wearing a shield wouldn't help, but throwing a sock at it would.). AK kills the first thing it hits, but it's got a travel time (seems relatively slow, honestly), only goes in straight lines, and only hits one thing per casting. It's great if you can hit something with it, but you've got to actually do that first, yeah. And not have someone throw a pigeon in the way or whatever.

Dude with a few bags of tricks could hold off someone spamming AK for a while. Or, like, someone with a pez dispenser.

Yeah, I'm quite fond of spring, and Total Annihilation and its descendants in general. As quite fond as I am quite terrible at actually playing them. Utter shite at juggling the economic thing at the same time as doing the combat bitsies, and not terribly impressive when I focus in on either one regardless. But damn, is the game fun to watch sometimes. Fun enough to play, too, I'm just a handicap for whoever's team I'm on

Be nice if there was an anti-economy mod or somethin', I think. Also, one day, I will play a few rounds of the Gundam mod with an actual human.

... or a turn-based riff on the TA/Spring ethos. I'd play the shit out of that, I think.

Maybe if you're limiting yourself to English. Still doubtful.

Yeaah, because it wasn't one of them that came out as best goddamn student in the school earlier in the series. Nope, never happened

But yeah, Hufflepuff. Remember folks, the greatest trick of the Devil is to convince everyone else it doesn't exist. Of course Hufflepuff's where everyone not good enough to fit anywhere else goes. Keep telling yourself that.

Someone's going to be quietly ruling the world in the meantime, and it's not going to be either breed of idiot or the ones too smart to see what's two feet in front of them.
