any way for a slayer to pick up the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception?


Advice


an ability any slayer absolutely requires is the type moon ability called the mystic eyes of death perception, any way for a slayer to get something similar.

to explain the mystic eyes of death perception, they care not about your regeneration, your damage reduction or whether or not you are a full on deity such as sarenrae or lamashtu, the eyes just let you actually inflict permanent unhealable damage upon the foe as long as you land a hit with a physical weapon and since the damage from a user their effect cannot be healed in any means, they can technically permanently and irrevocably murder a goddess or the terrasque by just dealing hit point damage or ability damage from a physical source. they also ignore incorporeality and ethereality and the like as if the foe were completely material.

any way to get this ability or something just like it? because i like the idea of a mortal slayer being able to murder fully powered gods by planting a knife into them.

Ummm... Gonna have to go with no.

In my homebrew game I created a +4 weapon enchant that inflicted wounds that couldn't be regenerated or healed by magic (natural and fast healing still worked), but I can think of no existing ability that comes anywhere near what you're asking.

so again, martial characters are proven to be hated by paizo because there isn't a means for martial characters to actually kill immortal beings and keep them dead, like the terrasque or a lich.

i think mystic eyes of death perception would really fit the slayer.

So, were you actually honestly wondering if something like that existed, or did you just start this thread to create a platform to complain about martial/caster disparity?

It's not an ability that translates well to tabletop.

Unless you want an entire party of Nanaya's at the table.


Homebrew it.

While excessively overpowered, the Death Perception eyes in the Tsukihimeart of the Nasuverse have a weakness. The more you use them, the stronger they get, and the most your sanity slips away.

Any excessively strong ability will have a similarly crippling weakness. i.e. Birds have a superior flying ability, but horrifically crippled walking ability. Opposite for Ostriches. Humans have very high intelligence, but little to no biological adaptation for defense or offense.

i actually wanted this ability for a theoretical tabletop character just in case i had to fight another Terrasque, Lich, or Vampire or similar self ressurecting character so i could keep them dead.


i guess a weaker version that didn't allow the wounds to be healed by magical means and didn't allow wish or true resurrection to bring back the character is fine

Another tarrasque, lich or vampire? The tarrasque is its own thing, but liches and vampires have their own weaknesses that can be exploited - in fact vampires aren't overly that difficult to destroy at all. As for the lich, if you can find its phylactery you can kill it for good.


Sure, should be easy.


You have to remember that abilities can also be used against players.

Some creatures have abilities that require a caster level check to heal damage they deal. Most NPC's don't normally have healers with them so this is mostly something that would be used against players if it did exist.


Red Mantis Assassins have the final death power, which prevents their victims from being brought back.(yes, it has a counter, but may be similar to what you seek.)


I think this is appropriate.
