[Epic Spells] Could I have fries with that?

[green slime]

"1d4 points of damage... Has a fair chance to kill most Elves, Halflings, Half Orcs and Humans on the target plane. (Can epic spells be maximized? ). Commoners do only have a 1d4 hit points. "


Well, I think what the person fails to realize is that there are more life-forms than PC Races. Just think of the sheer number of insects, rodents and other creatures that have 4 or less hit points. Someone is planning to destroy all birds, bugs, fish, seals, monkeys, hamsters, rats, mice, lobsters, raccoons, plants, cats, dogs, baby animals, baby intelligent races, etc, etc, etc,etc,etc in the entire UNIVERSE???!!

I dont think that the player or the DM fully understands the implications here.

Of course he does. That is why you have heroes trying to prevent the casting of this epic spell. At 100 days of casting time, even the most dense, bumbling heroes should manage to set some kind of spanner in the works.

And they don't even have to kill the caster, just disrupt enough of the ritual participants to make the DC unreachable.
