Funny, last I checked, he was banging Emma Frost every night.
Yes in the paper/pencil D&D universe, Clerics are pretty broken and always wanted in a party. They are pretty hard to take down because they actually have access to mail armor class AND magical buffs. Other classes either get heavy armor no magical buffs or magic buffs with cloth armor.
not voting in two of the matchups yet due to lack of prop. will edit with their votes later.

Because the two are mutually exclusive. . .
imo.
Imhotep is the original Mummy. He’s not bound by the rules of old school lesser, mummies. The Cleric is completely outclassed. He can’t contend with the Mummy’s power or range. The Cleric runs around with a mace. A MACE! That might work against drunken undergrad college teens, but we’re talking the wrath of the biblical god given form here. Aside from the spellcasting he possessed before he ascended, Imhotep can also shapeshift and control the biblical plagues. That means swarms of frogs, lice, flies, locusts, murdering livestock, plagues of boils, turning water to blood, controlling storms, causing impenetrable darkness, and killing first born. On a whim. We’re talking Pulp Fiction level biblical bitch-slapping. He also controls the dessert, wind, and sand. He can turn into sand at will. Sand, wind, AND ice storms? What’s the Cleric gonna do when Imhotep turns into Iggy and petshop from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure… AT THE SAME TIME. We’re talking epicness beyond ST Akuma here. As soon as the bird shenanigans come out The Cleric turns into Epidemic and hauls ass. BIRDS, NIGGA, BIRDS! I’m pretty sure that in the first movie the mummy also uses his power to control people. IIRC he gained control of the crowd in the first movie this way.
Key phrase: in a party. This dude just went off by himself to fight the quintessential representation of Egyptian sorcery. The Cleric is a drunken jock in a horror movie who just got finished banging his girlfriend when she hears a noise and sends him outside to check it in palpable darkness. Alone.

Ok, I’ve been seeing a lot of lies and slander about the Cleric and I had to set the record straight. First off, the Cleric doesn’t have to be anyone’s bitch.
Which means if the Cleric can decide to just bask in his own glory, knowing that his righteous fury will smite any undead that happen to come his way. Also all this talk about how Clerics are just Paladins who couldn’t fight is nonsense. Going into battle, the Cleric will be at least 10 ft tall due to righteous might. Turning probably won’t work on the Mummy, but he’ll still have to worry about getting plane shifted to another dimension. Have fun hanging out in the plane of fire asshole.
You state that this fight is between a drunken jock with a stick versus a a sorceror supreme, well the cleric will just turn off the mummys magic casting abilities and now it’s a fight between a 50,000 year old man wrapped in paper vs a 12 ft tall lumberjack hulked out on the pure belief in his own awesome. You can recreate this fight in real life by drinking a couple of king cobras and heading down to your local nursing home and picking a fight with the smallest person you can find.
Oh shit look out it’s the mummy! Nigga please. The mummys only chance of winning is praying to the cleric and hoping he’ll give him a miracle.

WAR DIVISION

I was actually going with the Cleric here first until I talked with BJ. He’s right - This isn’t just your run of the mill ANBU Mummy. This is some boss level Mummy shit. This is the boss at the end of the campaign when you have to throw 100s of extra NPCs to have a fighting chance, and you still most likely lose. This dude is chewing up Clerics for free and skinning their hides for extra bandages. Cleric has no chance. If he was a Cosmoknight from Rifts I’d think about voting for him, but he’s not.
(speaking of which, I claim that isht for next year’s poll.)
FAMINE DIVISION
-The Sword of Legend-
**Soul Calibur **(Soul Calibur) from #8 with Hate
Uhhhhh Whatever.
DEATH DIVISION

Donald Duck is the original rage-induced-verbal-vomit-tosser. Dude taught Mike everthing he knows. He is Padawan Mike’s Master.
This isn’t a boss level Mummy, this is a mummy that got taken out by the encino man. Are you serious? The Mummy got put down three times by this.

Ya think?
The range for that is touch. Are you serious? The only thing getting touched by that clergyman is adolescent boys. A sandstorm will easiily tear the flesh off of his vagina. Not to mention you’re sending a gy who just came from HELL to a FIRE dimension. Great battle plan there. For your next feat, I suggest you stop Namor’s invasion with super soakers.
A range of ten feet. Nice. Imhotep won’t even have to fly away even though he can. he can just run aorund a few parked cars all day and the cleric is fucked. The only thing close to ten feet is the two that the cleric is going to get up his ass.
…even old people can shoot you from 50 feet away before you get 10 within ten feet of them. I mean, if this were a mosh pit the cleric may have a chance but it isn’t.
The Cleric is a creature of faith. The Mummy’s team motto is “it’s a wrap.” if there’s anything that rap has taught our generation it’s that having faithgets you killed. Vote The Mummy.
First of all, Encino Man>you and your family. There’s no shame in losing to the real life version of Captain Caveman. Captain Caveman is a man’s man. Second, he didn’t. He lost once, came back and quit because he was bored. He was all “really? This is some bullshit. Y’all are boring me. I’m going back to the underworld where niggas is real with three headed dogs and shit.” The third movie wasn’t even him. Way to prove that the Cleric’s camp is full of dice-rolling retards who can’t even count. I’m sure everyone wants to be on that bandwagon now!
Even in DnD, the clergy can’t stop touching people.
imo.
Also waiting on more prop, especially on the Famine Division since Starman and Soul Calibur are both just sitting there looking shiny unless someone touches one of them.

…seriously.
There’s a reason that their main weapon is “the rod.” You know what they say, spare the rod, spoil the child.
Is the Mummy even gonna be able to see the cleric coming up to him? Because he definitely won’t hear him. Regardless, casting spells is gonna be difficult after the cleric brings his Storm of Vengence. The Mummy won’t even know what’s going on, he’ll just be like “Hmm storms a brewing, that ain’t me I wonder what’s going on?” before his ass gets zapped by 6 lightning bolts. Afterwards the cleric will cast a few earthquakes and collapse the Mummy’s pyramid for laughs.
And I’m sorry, I thought the Mummy was in the movie series he created. He got bitched so hard in the 2nd movie he never came back? Way to strike fear in your opponents.
. . . and they certainly do not spare the rod.
Way to support the symbol of the most oppressive culture to your people since the Nazis.
imo.
I get it now. I say something cool and you bring up some shittier bootleg version. Like I said the Mummy, and you said the Cleric. I brought up a physical plague of darkness and you brought up simple ass invisibility. I brought up the Mummy’s control over storms that destroy an entire nation and control over the entire desert, and you brought up the equivalent of Storm from the old X-men cartoon. “Winds! I command you to…GODDESS! I AM TIRED!” Cool story bro. If I say Transformers will you say Gobots now?
Wait, you’re gonna pull the anger card on Donald Duck? Donald “Unbridled Negro Rage Before Negros Were Accepted” Duck? Donald “Mascot for Damn Near Every WWII American Aircraft” Duck? When your grandparents were taking it to Fritz and Tojo, you could make damn sure that the last thing they saw was Donald Duck’s leering face. That anger, that boundless fury imprinted upon the Japanese so hard that when it was time to name the Rage Groove in CvS2, they called it K-Groove. D-U-C-K-Groove.
Donald Duck is the third most popular cartoon of all time, and he got that way by getting angry. He doesn’t wear pants because no pair can contain the massive nuts this cat is slingin’. You don’t see them thanks to the Hayes Code, of course; gotta think of the children.
Does Mike Tyson have his own Orange Juice? Has Mike Tyson beat the shit out of ghosts, sharks, and nature itself? Does Mike Tyson have an asteroid named after him? Has Mike Tyson won Oscars for Best Anything outside of being a pudgy has-been?
You can talk about Tyson’s knock-out power, but can he knock out a shark with one punch? Donald can.
You can’t fuck with the duck.

For Starman, Warp is stuck/busy at work. He’ll be able to pop some prop around 6 tonight.
