There has to be some repercussions when introducing NPCs (whether monstrous or otherwise) especially one of this magnitude.Not all though.Looking at the epic rules with Alchemy (as a cross-class skill) alone he could create a potion dealing 25,000 d6; or even 1000 d6 over a vast area. Its only as limited as the DM makes it.yeah that measly +499,995 bonus is useless! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />The fact that even the Epic Level Handbook at best caters for skills up to 150 tells us that to accurately portray such a character we would have to invent new abilities and items ~ because he certainly would!I think our problem is that both of us have little conception of what one million intelligence actually entails.If we were to use strength instead...that character could lift 1x10(power of 62)lbs OR 3x10(power of 36)Planet Earths meaning he could carry around a galaxy sized black hole and it would only class as Light Load. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Our NPC is of that intellectual magnitude! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" />What you seem to be doing is assigning 1 million intelligence one round and have the PCs attack him the next round. Obviously his Intelligence is going to have repurcussions as hes growing up.If you place a Tyrannosaurus Rex in a city it has repurcussions. Likewise if you create a character with 1 million Intelligence it will have repurcussions on the environment/society</blockquote>
