Having an argudebatement with a coworker;
Fantasy universe vs Modern military, who wins?
I said the ground rules need to be a tiered level of capabilities on either side.
If you say old fashioned medieval fantasy, I say WW1 armies. If it's more traditional understanding, then WW2 armies...but he wants the full shebang modern military, so I say that means the most robust understandings we have of fantasy creatures, like prismatic dragons and magicians with precognitive spells.
So, who wins?
@lacuda If you're using D&D rules, the fantasy army would be screwed. A dragon flies about as fast as a Honda.
The divination spells that precognate give vague, unhelpful, and often incorrect answers, whereas satellites work pretty good.
The range of much military hardware is in miles or even hundreds or thousands of miles. Long-range spells typically have a range of about 500 feet.
Tolkien fantasy? Even worse. Yeah, those folks would be toast.
@AskTheDevil or worse yet, they could drop that ring off at the White House and watch the country collapse in on itself π
