One may consider it simulacrum cheese, but imean the spell is just so good there is almost no reason not to use it in all of your plans. Once you reach Unlimited power, never leave your base and have your simulacrum do the dirty work for you. But I digress. The plan:Part 1 - Attaining your new formSpells required - Magic Jar, True Polymorph, Simulacrum/WishStep 1. Cast Simulacrum on yourself, either using the 12 hour casting or wishing one into existence.Step 2. True Polymorph your simulacrum into an adult red/gold dragon. If your DM allows it, try to True poly them into an adult red/gold dragon, specifically one day away from becoming an ancient dragon. This should work, but if not, it's fine if you're just an adult dragon. Just have to wait a couple thousand years....Step 3. Create another simulacrum of yourself if you want a carbon copy of your humanoid form that you're still in. You'll need this form soon enough. And by that I mean half a year.Step 4. Cast magic jar on yourself and possess your simulacrum Pit fiend/Dragon.The product:In case you haven't noticed, you are now an ancient dragon who is also an elite spell caster with access to an 8th and 9th level spell slot and 8th and 9th level spells.Part 2 - Amassing your army (of not simulacrums!)Spells required - True Polymorph, Planar Binding, Magic Circle (optional)Step 1. True Polymorph a blade of grass into either a Glabrezu, a Bone Devil, or a Nycaloth. If your DM lets you use the summoner variant use those for a chance at an even larger army.Step 2. (If you want, go ahead and put up a magic circle to make sure this doesn't go haywire later.) Use planar binding to bind the fiend to your service for up to 180 days.Step 3. Repeat for 180 days. You should be able to do this 2 times a day.Step 4. Keep a track of your fiends with signs. Branding might be better if you chose bone devil due to their resistance to fire, because that won't impede them in battle.Step 5. Use the most recently binded fiends to guard you while you rest. It would be a shame if a Nycaloth came out of nowhere and killed/severely damaged you while you sleep. But with your incredible power, you should be fine.The Product:Now, you have 360 Moderately expendable troops. Keep track of them, or you may find yourself slowly dying in your sleep.Part 3 - Ruining a poor king's day (Gaining control over a territory)Spells required - Magic Jar, Suggestion, Greater Invisibility/Dimension Door/Teleport(All optional)Step 1. Magic Jar yourself into your simulacrum old body that you made half a year ago. We wanna look like an adventurer to complete this part.Step 2. Command your Fiend army to hide themselves outside of the cityStep 3. Teleport yourself into the king's castle using dimension door or teleport, or sneak in with Greater invisibility.Step 4. Find the king and cast Suggestion on him. Suggest that he goes out to your fiend army and tell them to rain chaos over the townsfolk, and make sure that everyone can see that he was the one commanding  the army. Tell him to act evil while he's at it as well.Step 5. Command your Fiend army to Go attack the townsfolk without killing or injuring too many people. Tell them to attack you when you get there, but tell them not to hit you, and make it look like they're missing with each attack.Step 6. While your army is attacking the city and the king is looking super evil, swoop in as an adventurer and knock out all of your Fiend army. Don't kill any of them; we'll still need them later. Proceed to kill the king.Step 7. When everyone is cheering, persuade them to let you be king because you saved them from the Fiend army. Move all of the "dead" Devils down into the dungeon of the castle, and make sure they wake up. Nurse them back to health or have a trusted servant do it for you.Step 8. Find your Dragon body and Re-Possess it.The product:Now you're the king over a massive kingdom. Whenever you're around people, Polymorph yourself into what your human form looked like. Dragons can Polymorph themselves at will, but they wouldn't be able to cast spells, which is why we needed the simulacrum. You should be able to throw that away now if you please, but You might not want to. You may need it for espionage and stealth missions when you've begun your largest conquest.Part 4 - Reveal yourself!Spells Required: None, but prep your best battle spells. You might need 'em....Step 1. Reveal yourself to the kingdom. If they attack you, unleash your Fiend army on them. Tell them to knock out everyone, and not to kill anyone. Use spells if you need to. You should be fine with just your claws, your tail, and your bite. Your breath weapon is certainly to dangerous for anyone you face.The product:You now have complete control over a kingdom and they know your motives. They may not like them, but at this point it's your way or the highway. The highway being death. Your fiend army may die out, but you can instead search out high mages wanting to earn cash to help you to continue expanding it. Either way, use them as a police force, making sure that people aren't planning to take over your land.Part 5 - BLOODSHEDSpells Required: Meteor Swarm and any other general combat-worthy spells.Step 1. Find every Kingdom you can, and meteor swarm them. Proceed to take over it, and rebuild.The product:Im kind of tired of typing at this point. You should be done when you destroy and rebuild all kingdoms on Toril. If you please, you can head to other planes and take them over. If gods start to get mad at you and attack you, Plane shift to another plane and lay low. Gods only are effective in one plane, like the forgotten realms or Ebberon. If you want, epic progression is certainly something you can use. Search it up online if you're interested. It brings you up to 30th level and beyond, and grants you some cool and new features. If you do use it, then killing off entire kingdoms at a time is a super strong xp farming system. for every commoner you kill with meteor swarm, you get 10 xp. Seeing that really big kingdoms can have hundreds of thousands citizens, that means literally millions of xp from one kingdom. That's enough to instantly bring you from lv 20 to lv 30, and then get a couple mythic boons and spells while you're at it.Ok im legit falling asleeip now, thank god i don't nees to see to type after yeears of schppl. If yiu git this far, gud f[r you, you got nithing.</blockquote>
