[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 8310571, member: 6801845"] So if the army is stupid enough to send all their men in fireball formation (or meteor storm formation) it's not going to end well for them. But let's say they send a squad every hour on the hour. It won't take that long for them to wear down the PC, it's a simple numbers game. The wizard has to sleep sometime and they only cast fireball* a dozen times a day. I mean sure they can teleport somewhere (maybe, in my campaign they could potentially smuggle in someone to cast a spell that could stop that), but then their home base gets ransacked. Rinse and repeat. All of the arguments that a wizard (or sorcerer) can take over the world relies on a massive amount of cheese that I would never allow in my campaign that let's them somehow amass an army that has effectively no cost. I just don't buy it. [I]*the number of spells 3rd level or higher a 20th level wizard gets. Obviously there are spells other than fireball.[/I] [/QUOTE]
