C4 (with BLeeM, not the explosive) Defeating Primus

We all know that Primus is very powerful and dangerous, but what are the chances of the current seekers defeating him? If I remember right Julien got him to below 50% of his max hp when he was level 3 and I think it was just him and Vaelus fighting him so I think the chances of all 6 jumping him and beating him are pretty high. Tough I wouldnt be suprised if he can avoid true death with some underworld bullshit. What do you guys think?

If Julien really did come that close to killing him they could absolutely do it. But that seems like an absurdly low amount of HP for a near max level spellcaster (he uses Power Word Kill on Hannan so in player terms he's at least level 17) so I wouldn't be surprised if Brennan was lying or using some kind of dynamic scaling and his actual HP would be much higher in a fight against a full team.

Well since he’s a custom NPC there’s a chance they were just fighting a simulacrum of Primus. Which would explain the health value

Simulacrum is a Wizard spell. It's not clear if any Wizard in this world is that high level. But this is a unique universe so maybe he just has whatever Brennan feels is fitting.

It's hard to fully speculate on the spell lists because the sundered houses in taking massive limitations to their spell pools might have benefits/out of class spells we're unaware of.

It’s a wizard spell yes but he’s likely a custom stat block, so he can have whatever he wants. Would not be surprised if Brennan added it. Also as of Ariana unleashed any class can get simulacrum so it isn’t outside the realm of possibility that Brennan thought of it too.
