Alzem doesn't have nuclear weapons - I just modified my article.
Elminster's PL is 20.
That does not include any artifacts he carries.
That does not include any allies he can bring in.
Elminster's Effective PL is around 100.
If you achieve ascension, your PL jumps to at least 7 (the same as the God Emperor's) and perhaps higher.
I am seriously considering upping the God Emperor to 20 - after all, he is a Demipower, and they are but Avatars.
If I do this, then the PLs of all the Demipowers goes to 20, and Kalanyr would go to 20 when (if) he achieves Ascension.

RULING:
Those Powers who have nuclear weapons ready gain + 3 / + 1 to their rolls in combat.
The + 3 / + 1 occurs only if the Player declares he is using his nuclear weapons.
As with the + 2 / + 2 for 10th level magic, this is a numerical attempt to simulate the overwhelming (and game-breaking) power of these weapons.
(Before you ask the obvious: why isn't it + 10,000,000, like it should be ... remember I wish the IR not to go up in a nuclear cloud.)
10th level magic WILL protect against a nuclear strike.
10th level Walls of Force will withstand a direct hit from a nuclear weapon (they will be destroyed in the process.)
Mythals will redirect nuclear weapons away from them, or render them inert, or absorb the blasts from them.
However, creating a Mythal takes several days to accomplish.
If Melkor declares he is firing immediately at the start of Turn 6, you won't get them up in time.
Furthermore, Walls of Force and similar defenses can be circumvented by Teleport Circles.
10th level magic could be used to put a city-sized Prismatic Sphere up (over a city, of course.)
This would require a MASSIVE effort by the Power doing it, and it would take weeks to do it.
I suppose a Power with 10th level magic could put up, say, 20 of these giant Prismatic Spheres over the entire course of Turn 6 (which will last one year.)
Of course, incinerating a city with a nuclear weapon occurs much faster, and there is no point in defending a radioactive crater in the ground with a giant prismatic sphere.

For Edena
[color={firstaltcolor}]
Edena just so you know the Clones I am creating are being done on Toril in a Super Secrete Place, using 11th level magic. After they are created I will talk to them and try and learn of what they know of their former plans. Also I will create the 100 Pocket Dimensions. I will send you a Template this weekend. Probably Sunday as my wife is having her baby shower this weekend.

Anabstercorian telling everyone how to hide their text is not a real problem I was planning on doing it today at 12:00 (Friday) anyway. That way any secrete plans could be given to Edena without e-mail. But to give it away for free, ARGHH. At the very least you could have waited so I could use the knowledge to extort power from everyone else
Well there you go all, if you want to know where I learned it just go to the Meta Forum. It is there under this link:

Ain't supposed to read it but congrats anyway
And Alzem, what are we going to do with the staff.....? Are you going to attempt our plan of has edena already ruled on them?
Damn Forsaken one if you are going to read hidden text at the very least do not comment on it, bad form young Robinson 
, but thanks. As for the staff I am still waiting on answers for some of the ideas I had on what to do with it.
FOR EDENA ONLY:
[color=222222]
Also Edena would it be possible to alter my Mythal to place the Island in the Astral Plane and grant everyone there the ability to use the spell Astral Projection? Or even create a Pocket Dimension that would accomplish the same thing as when it is created I get to choose the attributes for it?

CLOSED POST TO EDENA
Edena, I'm aware that Mordenkainen's Disjunction can wreck an artifact, but I only have a CASTER LEVEL of 20, so that's just a 20% chance, at least for me. Also, I'm more interested in the pre-ordained ways of destroying an artifact, the ones that don't have world shattering side effects. For example, if you throw the True Staff in the the yellow sun at the Penumbral Hub, the sun collapses in to a blue dwarf but nothing else happens. The staff is gone, the Elder Ones remain out of the picture, and everyone is happy.
What I'm doing is researching those secret methods of destroying the artifacts (The Crook of Rao, the Axe of the Dwarvish Lords, Machine of Lum The Mad) that won't wind up blowing up the whole damn continent and wasting me and mine.
Second, I'm going on a "business trip" to Bytopia for some training. Basically, I'm walking in and fighting anything that attacks me until I get winded, then I'm leaving for Ilsensine's cavern on the Outlands. After that, I'm heading straight for the Penumbral Hub. Is that reasonable?
Also... One of my long term goals is to create a Mythal over my Secret Redoubt that Silences all sound louder than a whisper. Could I get one of my 10th level empowered allies to do that for me?
Let's see, what else... Edena. Is New Umbra still inhabitable? I imagine it's quite empty of life, but still there... If it is, I'd like to send some Solistari Illithid to start expanding it.

Few questions to Edena:
Can a power with 10th level magic throw nuclear weapons at power that uses 10th level protections?
Actually Shade are developing nuclear powered Negative/ Shadow Energy Accumulators, can we use it as equivalent of nuclear weapons?
What is rough pl of Lloth`s planar armies?
Was Anabstecorian succesful in convincing Ililthidi fleet to join him?
