I had already combed through the spell lists, that wasn't the issue, what you mention below was. I was concerned about actually getting us to work as a team for once. It was nice that it paid off in spades.
IMHO, it's not a question of willingness to follow orders, I'm not big on giving orders and nobody in the group was ever very interested in taking them. It's that it can be as much as an hour in between getting to do something with your character and after waiting that time nobody really wants to just say that they are going to spend a turn waiting to disrupt casting by one of the enemies or just going I Heal X and then waiting another hour to get to do something.
I believe it wasn't technically a crit ability.
Mual'Tar was pretty boring to fight though, since as far as I could tell, there was absolutely no scope for tactics or maneuvers or strategies. Just keep pounding on him until he dropped and even 40d6 doesn't go that far vs something with 1,500 hp or so.
I think I've seen that (or more likely had it playing in the background), but it wasn't a direct influence.
That was Adam Warlock the old marvel comics character. He had a storyline where he went up against a galactic tyrant called Magnus, which eventually turned out to be himself from the future and so he wound up as part of a Xanatos Gambit by Thanos essentially killing himself at a future point to prevent himself from ever becoming Magnus.
Possibly a plot summary I read for "The Butterfly effect" might have influenced me, since the
main character eventually realizes that the thing that's making his love interest's life awful is him and prevents himself from being born.
I figured the heroic
