[QUOTE="senna, post: 4126971, member: 29148"] OK, corner case i now, a DM friend of mine ask me to help him once to do a massive battle set up and make stats for some npcs and monsters, my friend is a good storyteller but a lousy min/maxer an was dm´ing for a group of powerplayers. The setup was a bunch of midlevel monsters, the group was almost epic, a barbarian, forsaker, frenzied berzeker with an ability to creat an antimagic field and a freaking RED GREAT WIRM. He had planed a diplomatic solution at first, but maked all the stats because he knew his players, and they would try to hack the dragon. In game after some messages they arranged a metting in a neutral ground. One of the characters where a wizard with a thing for summoning and calling, with some days in advance he prepared a couple of spells and hoardied some scrolls for the battle. Once everybody arived at the destination, the said wizard casted time stop, afecting his imp familiar too and summoned a barrage of monster to deal with the mid level threats and two gates, with his familiar using use magical device to do the same. His turn lasted almoust an hour, with him managing that massive numbers of monsters. The fight lasted two rounds, including surprise, it was one of the most dissapointing fights i´ve ever seen, only because everybody just didin´t act. [/QUOTE]
