[QUOTE="Pax, post: 829083, member: 6875"] Two wands of Glitterdust, a wand of Obscuring Mist, a wand of Stinking Cloud, and a Wand of Silence. Add ten Rods of Viscid Globs (MoF). Strap them all together -- naturally, they have the same exact command word across all fifteen items. Call it a "Megarod-Thing of Doom" ... MRToD for short. Get a flunky (Leadership, and it's Cohort, works well for this). Make sure he's, say, Cleric(1)/Wizard(1)/Bard(lots). He can recite poetry to benefit the whole party, while waiting for the BBEG to show up. Have the flunky walk around with the MRToD out and ready all the time. Have him constantly ready an action to aim the MRToD at the BBEG, and activate it (with the identical-to-all-components single Command Word). The BBEG ends up nauseated by the stink of a [i]stinking cloud[/i], in the dark, hit with Glitterdust twice, and surrounded by fog. He has also been hit TEN TIMES with the equivalent of a tanglefoot bag. And he's Silenced, as well. ... Now, of course, EVERY PLAYER in your group of 8 has done this same ludicrous thing. So, you have eighty tanglefoot effects, plus sixteen [i]glitterdust[/i] spells (with their resultant will saves to not go blind), 8 [i]silence[/i] spells (and their saves), and 8 [i]stinking cloud[/i] spells (and [b]their[/b] saves!). If he's not glued to the floor puking his sparkly-lit guts out in a fog bank deeper than pea soup ... the GM's cheating. >8) Plus, you have the option of forgoing the Bard levels for the flunkies, and aiming all 8 flunkies for Mystic Theurge, for absolute GOBS of eventual magical delight (and the making of more MRToD's). :D :cool: :D :cool: :D [/QUOTE]
