Mass Fly is 5th level, IIRC; in any case, certainly higher than the 3rd level Fly. Orb of Force is also 4th level.I think your plan of attack would fail dramatically. A 5th level wizard with an 18 Int has 4 first, 3 second and 2 third level spells. Even assuming 3d4 + 3 or 5d6 is enough to drop a trained Marine (i.e. Marines are all first level with no Con bonus), each Marine has more bullets then each wizards has spells. And there's a lot more Marines than wizards. Sooner or later, each wizard is going to run out of spells and is going to run into a small group of soldiers that have been alerted through phone or walkie-talkie, and is going to get shot repeatedly. (And realistically, if you're using D&D-ish rules, some of the guys on our side of the portal should be high level, too. If fantasy world gets an unlimited supply of 5th level wizards, the real world should get a bunch of 5th level fighters. Yes, if all the real world people can be taken down by a high-level magic missile, and you're invading with a bunch of forces that can shake off the 2d12 the .50 cal sniper rifle can do, then things are a little stacked.)</blockquote>
