[QUOTE="Hohige, post: 8162893, member: 7019463"] OMG, There are many mistakes here. [I]"Good luck trying to counter a mage that can instantly kill practically anyone/everyone in the world that gathers against them. If they try to mount a resistance to overthrow you with a giant army, just solve that issue with Meteor Swarm. If the armies are too much, just Teleport or Plane Shift out of there and take a long rest. Then, teleport back to the enemies and meteor swarm them again. Rinse and repeat until every army that dares oppose you is destroyed by your magic guerilla-warfare tactics."[/I] I couldn't disagree more. You will have serious problems against flying creatures, as Meteor Swarm only hits the ground. Any flying creature or flying mounts can end your "Instant kill" Meteor Swarm does avg 140 damage or 70 avg damage. This is certainly not Instant Kill. A level 11 and tough feat draconic sorcerer has 112hp and resistence to fire. [I]"If they try to send adventures to slay you, do the dungeon plan that I detailed in [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/20th-level-wizard-vs-the-world.677319/page-7#post-8162034']this post[/URL]."[/I] Creating a dungeon with creatures that you do not control and that you are trapping them, this Wizard does not survive more than 2 days there. [I]"If they try to start an underground resistance, make public executions to discourage such actions. If you need to, infiltrate the organization with Alter Self. All you need to do to find the organization is to knock out a resistance member (sleep should work), use Modify Memory and Detect Thoughts to learn what they know about it and all of their codes/plans, and then thwart them from the inside.

Extended Summon Celestial (The Avenger) for 600ft range damaging. It's a flying creature, so It's immune to Meteor Swarm. It can also destroy your dungeon, destroying everything in its path, traps, objects, barriers. Good luck. In 2 hours, the creature can deal 54,000 damage to its structures and you. Divine Soul Sorcerer level 11 destroy the wizard. [/QUOTE]
