* BatmanGambit: After his first time killing the BBEG is retconned out of existence, Elsinore teleports to his own demiplane, knowing full well that the Big Bad is going to follow him there. When he does so, Elsinore applies the "nonpsionic" trait to the demiplane, depowering the BBEG and leaving him a defenseless commoner ''again''.



* DeathByAThousandCuts: Elsinore's player knows that he's never going to be able to defeat the Big Bad in a straight fight...but he ''can'' DePower him in a way that removes all of his defensive and offensive abilities, leaving him a defenseless commoner while Elsinore just casts low-level spells on him until he dies. Three times in a row.



* DePower: How Elsinore kills the BigBad, three times in a row, in three different ways. His strategies are:
** 1. Use [[TimeStandsStill Scroll of Timestop.]] Teleport to Plane of Force, source of all psionic powers. Open a permanent gate to the negative energy plane, essentially creating a [[RealityBreakingParadox massive black hole]] that destroys the plane from which the BBEG draws his power, leaving him defenseless. Cast level-draining spells on the BBEG til he dies.
** 2. Use another Scroll of Timestop. Teleport to custom demiplane, [[BatmanGambit knowing the BBEG will follow.]] When BBEG arrives, use control of apply the restriction "non-psionic" to the entire demiplane, leaving BBEG without his powers again. Cast level-draining spells on the BBEG til he dies.
** 3. Cast anti-psionic field and dimensional anchor on BBEG. Have army of fire elemental constructs (who get stat bonuses for being in this demiplane) dogpile BBEG and whale on him non-stop until he dies.



* {{Expy}}: Elsimore has some definite [[Literature/HarryPotter Dumbledore]] traits, and the BigBad is a lot like [[Franchise/XMen Magneto]].

Perhaps the only tale of OffTheRails greater than ''Fanfic/OldManHenderson''. This story focuses on an epic-level ''Pathfinder'' group. The plot of their story was that magic had been falling out of use as more people developed psionic powers, and the rest was basically [[JustForFun/XMeetsY D&D meets]] ''Film/XMen''. The narrator played as an elf wizard called Elsimore, and the others were a monk/psionic fist/soul fist, a Wilder, a Magus, and a regular Psion.

* GetOut: After three straight instances where Elsimore killed the BBEG by using the GM's own logic against him, the GM just said "you're out" and kicked him out of the game.



* OffTheRails: The page quote lauds this story as having done this extensively. Elsimore's player applied the dead zone on the plane of force after rolling to gain the know-how with the full intention of nullifying all psionic powers. The first time won the battle only a few hours into the adventure. The DM didn't want it to end that way and so rewinded back to before it happened and made a new rule to keep the BBEG's powers intact. Again, Elsimore exploited various rules to depower him again, and the third time he made a demiplane that first negated psionics and then applied an anti-psionics field when that decision was stopped. No matter what happened, the plot was a goner.

The game did not go well.

The DM put the kibosh on that, so Elsimore had mining constructs in his demiplane swarm the BigBad and kill him again.
