Ringwraiths vs Dementors Can't Post

a few of my friends and I have been arguing as to who would win a fight like this. I say a ringwraith would win, based on his/its abilities. what say you?

I go for a tie. [In reply to] Can't Post

Although I imagine the power that Sauron - a Maia - gives the Ringwraiths through their nine rings would be greater than the inherent strengths of Dementors, how would each kill the other? The Ringwraiths have no soul for a Dementor to suck out, and a Ringwraith is incapable of creating a patronus to drive away a Dementor. (And a Ringwraith sword would be as nothing to a Dementor.)

Neither creature can exploit the other's weakness, so neither can get the upper hand.

Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."

"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded b*****d with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

Aren't they pretty much the same thing? [In reply to] Can't Post

As Ataahua pointed out, the Nazgul and Dementors can't effectively attack one another. They can try to scare each other to death, but that's about it.

Perfect Role-playing game logic ;-) [In reply to] Can't Post

Hehehe.. since Dementors are nothing but re-engineered Nazgul, I'll go with Tolkien's classics. Wink

BBOOOO!!!// [In reply to] Can't Post

 

Some who have read the book, or at any rate have reviewed it, have found it boring, absurd, or contemptible; and I have no cause to complain, since I have similar opinions of their works, or of the kinds of writing they evidently prefer.

I'm a user. I'll improvise. -Sam Flynn, TRON: Legacy

Haha [In reply to] Can't Post

I totally agree with Ataahua on this one. A battle between a dementor and a ringwraith would probably go on forever.
