rerun where their blades count as magical
Perfect — let’s give the Seven Samurai a fairer shot. In this version, their katana are either blessed by shrine priests or forged from spiritual steel so they count as magical for overcoming resistances.
This removes the half-damage problem, though the Mistress still has Regeneration 20/round, legendary resistances, and her charm/bite.
🏯 Setup
Samurai Party (Lvl 3–7 Fighters)
- Same stats, but katanas count as magical weapons.
Mistress (Base Vampire, CR 13)
- AC 16, HP 144.
- Regeneration 20.
- Charm, Bite, Legendary Resistances (3), Misty Escape.

🎭 Outcome
- The samurai win the battlefield. They’ve driven her into mist, forcing retreat to her coffin.
- If they know her lore (or if shrine priests guide them), they may track her to her resting place and finish her permanently.
- If not, she will recover in 1 day and possibly return with vengeance.
Casualties / State of Party
- Brash Youth: severely drained, max HP reduced.
- Idealist: nearly dead from the bite, saved by his comrades.
- Elder: Charmed, but freed once the Mistress departs.
- Leader, Veteran, Stoic Master: wounded but standing.
- Trickster: Lightly injured, but effective.
⚖️ Verdict: With magical blades, the Seven can win. It’s not easy, but teamwork, steel, and resolve carry the day.
