[QUOTE="Wrahn, post: 1865190, member: 9191"] He is a wizard, it is the wizards lot to die, lol. No, I agree you can't stack Maximize, but even if you could, it wouldn't do anything more than just one maximize. The reason he needs both maximize rods for the 6 spells he is casting in the first round. It was an example of bad-things-casters-can-do, it isn't meant to be a functional PC. If you are really worried about Thrizilgreep, he could save the last spell for time stop maximize that, then drop somewhere around 16 or so delayed blast fireballs and then teleport out (assuming 5 scrolls). So that is another 320d6 (or 1120 average or 560 pts if all saves are made, on average) but only 5 maximized meteor swarms (360 pts, assuming saves made) or a total of 920pts of damage, assuming all 36 saves are made and the caster is sipping tequila on the beach 1000 miles away. Round break down if I wasn't clear above: Rnd 1 Multispell1: Maximized Meteor Swarm Multispell2: Maximized Meteor Swarm Multispell3: Maximized Meteor Swarm Multispell4: Maximized Meteor Swarm Quickened: Maximized Meteor Swarm Move: Puts Rods away Standard: Maximized Timestop Timestop1 Multispell1: Delayed Blast Fireball (5) Multispell2: Delayed Blast Fireball (5) Multispell3: Delayed Blast Fireball (5) Multispell4: Delayed Blast Fireball (5) Quickened: Delayed Blast Fireball (5) Move: draw scroll Standard: Read Delayed Blast Fireball (5) Timestop2 Multispell1: Delayed Blast Fireball (4) Multispell2: Delayed Blast Fireball (4) Multispell3: Delayed Blast Fireball (4) Multispell4: Delayed Blast Fireball (4) Quickened: Delayed Blast Fireball (4) Move: draw scroll Standard: Read Delayed Blast Fireball (4) Timestop3 Multispell1: Delayed Blast Fireball (3) Multispell2: Delayed Blast Fireball (3) Multispell3: Wall of Force Multispell4: Wall of Force Quickened: Wall of Force Move: draw scroll Standard: Read Delayed Blast Fireball (3) Timestop4 Multispell1: Wall of Force Multispell2: Wall of Force Multispell3: Wall of Force Multispell4: Wall of Force Quickened: Wall of Force Move: draw scroll Standard: Read Delayed Blast Fireball (2) Timestop5 Move: draw scroll Standard: Read Dimensional Lock Multispell1: Wall of Force Multispell2: Wall of Force Multispell3: Wall of Force Multispell4: Wall of Force Quickened: Teleport Multiple walls of force layered is to prevent disintegrate, Dimensional lock (cast of course outside the area the mage is in) to prevent those pesky teleport and dimensional shifts. This consumes all 5th 6th 7th 8th and 9th level spells. It is arguable that he even needs to do the wall of force thing as he knows the exact moment of his timestop ending, setting it for the end of the timestop will probably have them detenotate at the moment time resumes. And lastly you are absolutely correct, if one of us gets our hands on him he is dead meat, nothing he is going to be purchasing is going to change that. [/QUOTE]
