[QUOTE="Valdier, post: 266381, member: 4556"] Ok, so I realize either people here are bad at math or just don't get it. Lets look at epic spells just one more time. Someone asked how much it would take to destroy the world. Well lets see: I will start with a mage, 22nd level. 25 ranks spell craft 30 intelligence with items and wish. +10 +30 ring of spellcraft.(cheap) == +65 so 75 on take 10. Ok, so lets design a spell that requires DC 75 or so that can wipe most people off the planet, or at least a heck of a lot of them. Death Storm Necromancy[Death] Spellcraft DC: 76 Component: V, S Casting Time: 10 minutes Range: 0 ft. Area: 20 miles Duration: 20 hours Save: Reflex negates(see text) SR: Yes Seed Energy(weather)(DC 19), Seed Slay(DC 25), change slay to work like enervation (ad hoc +29 DC), Increase casting time 9 minutes(DC -18), Backlash 15d6 damage(DC -15), Increase area x9(DC +36). This spell summons forth a cloud of ash straight from the Negative Energy plane. This dust appears and falls from the sky taking 10 minutes to settle over a 20 mile radius. All creatures in the area are subject to losing 1d4 levels if they are touched by the ashes. Creatures indoors are safe from the effect assuming they do not travel outside while the ash is present on the ground. The ashes slowly dissapear over a period of 20 hours, at this time it is again safe. ------------------------ The secret to epic spells is to mix the seeds. Weather is essential if you want mass area death spells. [/QUOTE]
