Magic vs. Firearms

[Kopi]

Your opponent has a firearm.

 

You are a magic user, you wear no armor. Your "magic veil" is usless agianst your opponents weapon. What spell do you cast?

[Karranthain]

Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt!

 

Sorry, had to.

 

I'd guess something that'd cause the gun to misfire - summon rain perhaps?

[evdk]

Fatal intestinal maelstrom.

[Entropious]

Magic - superior in utility

 

Firepower - superior in damage done to an individual

 

And I'm George Bush, so I know everything about firepower.

That always livens up the party.

[l3loodangel]

Time stop. And then kill him with a simple fork...

[Delterius]

Maybe whatever my google-image ripped avatar is casting, seems nasty.

 

But I can always Conjure a musketball and fire it with telekinesis. For irony.

 

Or Illusions because the musket is unlikely to hit already, worse if the person's seeing double.

 

For a good measure, I'll also Conjure alcohol into his bloodstream.

Throw your familiar in front of the gunman.

[Garrett]

throw a fireball in his face. Then with the fire, the blackpowder of the guns blow with him !

with a musket, at anything but extreme close range, he would be just as likely to still hit you even if he was aiming at your mirror image 3 metres to your right

I'd try to blind him with my stupid looking pointy assed wizard's hat, take his weapon, shoot him with it, and then I'd cast pyrotechnics to celebrate.

Oh, didn't think about a assumption that he's already close.

 

Well, illusions of yourself might still be useful, depending on the situation and especially how it came to be.

 

Maybe Conjuring Mud to jam the wheelock and soak the gunpowder?

[Infinitron]

Primitive firearms aren't waterproof. Water arrow, Thief 2 style.

Invisibility.

[Monte Carlo]

Obvious: while the heathen firearms user tries to arm his crude weapon, I Charm some peons, perhaps his allies, to wander into the already haphazard line of fire. Should that fail, my shimmering form, aura of sustenance and, frankly, superbly crafted plate armour should repel the missile...

[Nonek]

Harsh language.

 

What film is it where the big bads doing his expository menacing only to be blown away mid gloat by a six shooter? It's seriously swiss cheesing my noodle trying to remember.

[Kopi]

I think I'd cast some kind of hallucination and make his foot appear as a rat - and let him rid of this pestilence ridden vermin.

Raiders of the Lost Ark - Arab guy does fancy moves with a scimitar, only to be given the good news with a .38

[Nonek]

Ah thank you, that must be it.

Ha, no autocensorship, misogynists much?

Finger of Death.

 

I played a full team of Necromancers in Icewind Dale 2 once. Hilarious.

Agreed, some form of Glibness spell. Or some form of Grease spell. Or fill their lungs with water/food.

So many options, for something different cast a Mirror/Dopple-ganger spell and create multiple copies of yourself (confuse which they aims for) then rain destruction down on the shooter.

[The Sharmat]

After seeing all these posts, I really hope Obsidian has noticed them as well and that blowing up an opponent's magazine with magic can be a thing.
