Who can beat Azathoth?

[Placebo_24]

In the Call of Cthulhu d20 book, there are stats for the gods of the Lovecraft mythos.  Azathoth is the most powerful IIRC, and while I've seen some extremely powerful characters on these boards, I don't know how many of them could kill a god, barring Pun Pun of course.

Here are his stats.

Azathoth
Colossal Outsider (Greater God)

So, my challenge is, find a character that can kill him.  He actually spawns with minions, but for the purposes of this, we'll have it be a 1v1.

What are the restrictions?

[Placebo_24]

I assume you mean restrictions on the character?
The only real restriction I have, was nothing infinitely powerful like Pun Pun. Other than that, you can use whatever you want.  Any source is fine.

Pretty much any level 20 wizard with Craft Contingent Spell, Spontaneous Divination, and a generous interpretation of Sanctum Spell.

Well, and it kinda depends what his "Divine Qualities" happen to be.

Heck, it probably could be pulled off earlier.

+5 init, end of story.

[skydragonknight]

Yeah, contingencies are a must. Divine Celerity means he always wins rocket tag and alter reality means you can expect every buff in the game with a decent duration on the guy.

+5 init, end of story.

He doesn't even roll Initiative. ^^

From what I'm reading Divine Celerity doesn't do anything to win at Rocket Tag, at least not in the SRD. It's just Haste. Am I missing something?

Oh, and said wizard won't need Spontaneous Divination after all. He'll just need Limited Wish.

Of course, my statements entirely hinge on a highly debatable interpretation of Sanctum Spell that I don't actually believe works anymore.

I do believe that a fairly standard level 20 wizard could off him though. Probably in a single round.

[altpersona]

dire tortoise, the wizard dosnt need to roll init either.

[BruceLeeroy]

I don't see anything that a Hulking Hurler couldn't take out in one round.

Hmm. Confused that with Supreme Initiative. Although now that I check his stats again he doesn't have the prerequisite 29 Dex for either. I call Hax.

[Tr011]

How fun would it be if he gets killed by Magic Missles.

[JaronK]

Do divine qualities make him immune to critical hits?  Because a Dragonwrought Kobold TWF crit fisher character might be able to take him out with Devastating Critical... just keep getting crits until he rolls a one.

Assuming you could get past Alter Reality, which seems like wish at will...

Hood.  Line up the deities!

[Dictum Mortuum]

Only 3 int?

[skydragonknight]

Only 3 int?

Yeah, that's a bit silly. Though to be fair since he has 5x standard wealth for a CR 50, he probably has at least a +8 enhancement, if not higher.

[JaronK]

Azathoth is supposed to be barely sentient... powerful as all heck, but more a force of nature than a sentient being.  Int 3 actually seems high.  I'd have made him Int -.

3 Int means you can ignore the 2k HP and just shoot his int to 0 (even with enhancements, that shouldn't be too difficult). But you need a way to pass that gigantic SR. I also see no poison immunity, but the saves are by far too high for poison imo.

Energy Drain, Ability Drain, Ability Damage

A deity is not subject to energy drain, ability drain, or ability damage.

Ability damage is out. However, ability penalties are not. Are there any ability score penalties for Int (or Dex, which is only 13) that can bring an opponent to 0 in that score?

Edit: found an item that would do it. All you would have to do is bluff the guy into thinking it was a birthday present and ask him to try it on. Since he's a deity of madness, he may actually agree without the Bluff.

[sirpercival]

Bypassing SR is no problem, be an artificer with Fortify Spell, which has no level cap.  Metamagic Item = infinite spell penetration check.
