Depends on the army (a lot; for example, the low end (119) assumes an average roll on the number of elementals, assumes each elemental slays one thing per round, and assumes negligable travel time between slayings; an army of, say, level-5 paladins won't take that high of losses) but yes; serious crimpage.ZuulMoG said:
And the classic response would be a mundane dagger appearing in your hand. Or more appropriately a Wand of Fireballs, or several scrolls of Acid Fog.Ferret said:
Precisely the point I was trying to make in my earlier post. Aside from being a 9th level spell, Wish already has a HUGE drawback. It shouldn't be overly nerfed merely because it's fun to creatively twist the meaning.Endur said:
The original topic question was how to kill an army with three wishes, based off of a high-level Ur-Priest's ability to cast three per day without the standard 5000 XP pricetag. With any 9th level spell, Shapechange is up there in usefulness; change shape as a free action -> you can have any Draconic breath weapon you like available; pick one of the five elements, pick line or cone, and you can more than likely look up the dragon to suit. Likewise, you could pick highest Frightful Presence that you qualify for, and just swoop over the army. You could also shapechange into an undead that Creates Spawn quickly and wade in to forge the opposing army into your own. And that's just with Shapechange (which, to be fair, is one of the strongest 9th level spells for facing down an army).ZuulMoG said:
Yes... but what does that do about the army that's chasing you?Zadam said:
The normal D&D pantheon is a bit wussy anyways.
