[QUOTE="Diamond Cross, post: 5522166, member: 51024"] Then put up or shut up. Here's what I challenge. I will create a party of 5 12th level Drow against your 15th level wizard. In open terrain. This challenge uses 3.5e rules because I have not read 4e rules and don't know anything about 4e. Your wizard has to follow these rules: No monster summoning, no hirelings of any sort. And no golems. You have to do this completely alone without any help at all. Other than that, the Wizard can have any items he wants up to his level wealth limit. Your wizard can even have maximum hit points. With an 18 Constitution. That means 120 hit points. This will be in open terrain. With an encounter start of one hundred feet. The caveats are you can't run away from the fight. You have to destroy the entire party, all by yourself. And you're limited in spell knowlege to the wizard spell tables in the PHB. That means you know: 4 4 4 4 4 4 3 2 1 spells per day. That's all you can cast. And you can not use any help at all. However, this doesn't mean that you can't have wands or scrolls or potions. My caveat is I can have any classes and class combinations and equipment limited to wealth by level I want. If I win, you owe me one hundred XP and you'll admit you were wrong and owe me a public apology. If you win, I'll owe you 250 xp. Are you game? This is a real put up or shut up challenge. The gauntlet has been thrown. Rules addendum: I will limit my classes and class combination to the PHB. And I won't use Prestige classes. You can have any Prestige Class you want as long as you qualify for it and let me read up on it first. [/QUOTE]
