It's big, it's heavy, it's wood...
Over at the wizards.com D&D boards, somebody suggested using a Wish to wish for 15000 tons of wood. If you dropped that on someone, they'd take about
[(15000*2000)/200]d6 = 150000d6
Or 525000 average damage. Ouch.
However, a friend and I decided that it could be done better than that.
If you phrase the Wish so that'd you'd get all that wood in 1 lb. logs, you'd have 30 million logs. If all those logs where lined up 2x2x750000 straight above the target, and put them up high enough that they would all get the full 20d6 from falling damage, you'd do
(20*30000000)d6 or 600000000d6
2100000000 average damage. 2.1 billion.
Don't think they'll hold still to be hit by all that? That's what Hold Person and Hold Monster are for.
If you think that's too much to waste on one target, rephrase the wish so that you have the logs stacked 2x2x2 high above every 5' square you can manage. If my math is correct, that's about 3.36 square miles. Enough to squash the tiny nation of Monaco almost 5 times.
160d6 (average 560 damage) on every 5' square for that far around is pretty impressive. Of course, 2100000000 damage on a single target is nothing to laugh at either.
The only problem (at the moment) is that'd you would have to be very specific on how you phrase your wish. And if you use the Mass Area Killing Log Attack version, you should make sure to get the heck outta there fast.
I thought, why not a) Cast timestop around the victim, and b) wish for 1500 tons of ANTI HYDROGEN, within the area of the timestop, increasing density if nessercary.... The time stop lasts a little while, so teleport without error/gate yourself, and anything you want, to the outer planes- and laugh like a maniac, when as you see thorugh a scrying spell, the timestop expire, as that area gets heated to *Oh, whats the specific heat for nitrogen.....*187200000000000 degrees c..........This would practically creata a proto star where the victims were.....
A version for a CE mage is to cast timestop on the area around himself *remaining active, of course* then wish for a layer of anti-hydrogen around the atmosphere equating to the mass of 1500 tons *the max for wish*, then gate himself to the 100th layer of the abyiss, and collect the *huge* reward from some overlord........
The atmosphere would *ONLY* be heated to: 187200000000000c+whatever it was at the start.
