It's big, it's heavy, it's wood...
Over at the wizards.com D&D boards, somebody suggested using a
Wish to wish for 15000 tons of wood. If you dropped that on someone, they'd take about
[(15000*2000)/200]d6 = 150000d6
Or 525000 average damage. Ouch.
However, a friend and I decided that it could be done better than that.
If you phrase the
Wish so that'd you'd get all that wood in 1 lb. logs, you'd have 30 million logs. If all those logs where lined up 2x2x750000 straight above the target, and put them up high enough that they would
all get the full 20d6 from falling damage, you'd do
(20*30000000)d6 or 600000000d6
2100000000 average damage. 2.1 billion.
Don't think they'll hold still to be hit by all that? That's what
Hold Person and
Hold Monster are for.
If you think that's too much to waste on one target, rephrase the wish so that you have the logs stacked 2x2x2 high above every 5' square you can manage. If my math is correct, that's about 3.36 square miles. Enough to squash the tiny nation of Monaco almost 5 times.
160d6 (average 560 damage) on every 5' square for that far around is pretty impressive. Of course, 2100000000 damage on a single target is nothing to laugh at either.
The only problem (at the moment) is that'd you would have to be very specific on how you phrase your wish. And if you use the Mass Area Killing Log Attack version, you should make sure to get the heck outta there fast.
