[QUOTE="Jacob, post: 5522987, member: 98644"] Combined with the Archmage High [FONT=Verdana]Arcana [/FONT]ability Mastery of Elements, it's not so bad. ;) a. Greater Restoration only gives back XP from level drain/negative levels. Not that it isn't viable, because you could have a vampire servent to help you with such a task. The problem I see is the free XP you're supposedly getting after spending the other half you have left from level loss. A proper DM would enforce a penalty, at the very least minus the crafting XP from your previous XP before level loss. b. + c. If the Wizard had major energy resistance (electriciy) 30, then he would not have been effected by any of the Shocking Grasp marbles mentioned, even if they all exploded at once. A little moot with the other spells thrown in, but it bothered me all the same. ;) Oh, and you've certainly answered the question in my head when I wondered on the crafting time in [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/252233-looking-extremely-powerful-epic-monsters-2.html"]another scenario[/URL]: just give them a pocket dimension which moves slower than real time. Coupled with the infinite resources you mentioned, I'm all the more assured in thinking the DM was just wanted you guys to have fun. All I can hope for is that the amount of thought you've put into the game felt worthwhile, and wasn't too overblown. And I hope that world finally got itself sorted out, because the gods must not really be in control if a group of people crafted a planar bomb under their noses to destroy an otherwise small fry opponent.
