[Eberron] How are YOU going to handle the NPC level issue?

[Plane Sailing]

at 10 minutes per level, I don't care if you have 100,000 in your army. My 20th level wizard kills them all

This spell functions like prismatic wall, except you conjure up an immobile, opaque globe of shimmering, multicolored light that surrounds you and protects you from all forms of attack.

Methinks your wizard had better re-familiarise himself with the way his spells work if he wants to attempt this

On second thought, let him do it. In my mind's eye, I can just see said Wizard cackling maniacally as he casts the spell, the globe forms, and he keeps cackling maniacally as he walks right out of the globe and into the army.

"MWAH-HAHAHAHA.. e-heh.. heh... heh..."

Alas, just fun for a minute. A 20th-level wizard has enough AC to survive until he can teleport away. The shame about his mistake will be painful, though.

Sounds like Cao Cao's strategy.
...
Cao Cao split his army into 10 and had a detachment attack every few hours,

Funny. I coulda sworn he just pulled his sword, ordered his half-a-dozen or so retainers to follow him, and went completely medieval on the Yellow Turban army. I think the got bonus points for the ten enemy officers he personally slew, as well as for racking more than 250 mook kills ...

Gotta love Dynasty Warriors ...

Depends on how many archers are out there. When 5% of them are guaranteed a hit...

Well, that depends. What if the mage has protection from normal missiles and stoneskin? Are they are using adamant arrows?

Indeed. What's more, do they have a clear shot at the mage or are their allies standing in the way?

When I think of an archmage waging war I always imagine a spell that creates a moving wall of fire. Can't be harder to research than wish, but imagine the effect on an army.

 

[Desdichado]

That's one of the things that bugs me about DnD. There's no social class that doesn't get sneak attacks, magic or other such baggage.

I can stat Cao Cao up in D20 Modern just fine.
