[QUOTE="Pax, post: 885458, member: 6875"] I see your Kung Fu is not as strong as mine. Since the rule of this smackdownis QUANTITY of fire, rather than QUALITY of fire ... I'll go with Dominate Person ... and build an ARMY. ... Comprised of everyone 5th level and below, from an entire decent-sized everyone between the ages of twelve and fifty, from two or three entire villages or towns. Granted, being 17th level and having access to Teleportation Circle would make GATHERING them in one place more simple, but, it's not required (a couple scrolls of that spell would suffice, in fact). Step 1: enter a village or town. Step 2: convince the town/village leadership to gather the populace for "an announcement of great importance", by whatever nonviolent means are needed (some heightened Charm PErson spells should work well). Step 3: let the (for example) Chain Dominate Person spells fly; grab 17 new followers at a whack with each one. Step 4: lather. Step 5: rinse. Step 6: repeat. With, say, Wizard(5)/Red Wizard(10)/Archmage(1), one should be able to pull off some niely-smack-ish DCs; what's more, with a duration of 16 days ... you should be able to clear out 2, perhaps even 3 towns -- say, 200 suckers per town? More? So. How does 40o+ assorted arrows, bolts, thrown javelins, and so on sound ... PLUS those telekines'ed shuriken? :D :cool: :D :cool: :D [/QUOTE]
