[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 8177823, member: 42856"] On Thursday, Old Zalariel knocked at Alfred's door. Butler 436 ushered him in. Zalariel: "I want to have a turn at blasting the sorcerer to smithereens." Alfred: "No." Zalariel: "Everyone is doing it! Why can't I?" Alfred: "First, you're quite old" -- diplomacy was never the Wizard's forte -- "and you could be injured." Zalariel: "I am not old, I am an ELF." Alfred: "Second, you are under-optimized. Frankly, Zalariel, your build is subpar and I fear you could actually be defeated by the Sorcerer." Zalarial: "That's Archmagus Zalariel for you, young one, and it has been since 9th level. Why do you say I am not optimized?" Alfred: "You took proficiency in STR save throws insteand of an ASI! And everyone knows only 7 spells calls for a STR check!" Zalariel: "At the time, there was no fancy 'feats' as you call non-weapon proficiencies these days. Nonetheless, I am a level 20 Wizard, like everyone else here!" Alfred: "And what a Wizard. As your Spell Mastery, you took UNSEEN SERVANT!" Zalariel: "It's the most powerful spell in the universe! It has the destructive power only Wish can approach." Alfred (rolling his eyes): "I'd like to see it... I'll let you make a try, but please, at least send a Simulacrum instead of going yourself." Zalariel: "That's why I intended to do. What do you think? I was there when they INVENTED scry-and-die." So, Zalariel's Simulacrum Teleported (7th) to the general area, while mounted on Zalariel's Greater Steed, with the Invisible Stalker. He took to the sky, far above perception range and asked the Stalker to position himself right above the Sorcerer. Then, he wished for a sack of rice worth 25,000 gp under him. Since rice cost 1 cp per pound, the spell created 2,500,000 pouds of rice in a huge sack.
