I straight up want to play a campaign where the players are menial workers in a gigantic necrocenter housing millions of skeletal computers. Fixing bugs sometimes requires a plus one flaming sword.

I think my favorite was a proposed mid level adventure where the party is hired by a high level necromancer to 'debug' the skeleton computer. This of course involved going inside, killing giant centepedes, avoiding firewalls etc.

Are there even enough peasants around for making such long lines? How many hours before a monster shows up and starts eating them and they start screaming and running and being on fire as usual and so on?

Elminster is an Epic Level magic user with stats in the Epic Level handbook, has a bunch of immunities plus a weird kamehameha wave motion attack, but not actually any epic spellcasting. My plan was to teleport in with timestop (V's strategy) but with a whole bunch of Silmulcrums of nasty Epic Level Monsters such as Gibbering orbs (rays of dysjunction) and the Hechtoncheries (90 attacks a turn) which keeps its SLA to summon a copy of it itself; and the summoned copy would be the real thing as opposed to something with only 1/4 its HD and whatever other restrictions it had. The DM tried to have Elminster shapechange into a animated gargatuan cube and then "fall" on the Hechtoncheries for lethal damage and this is where it broke down since I was pretty sure my monsters should be able to reflex save to dodge or otherwise able to catch it; also I didn't think it reasonable that an animated cube of that size existed as a non-unique creature and whether Elminster would know about it.

Wasn't Elminster turned into a female cleric at some point or other? I vaguely recall reading something to that effect somewhere a long-rear end time ago.

Also Elminster has an actual for real genetic daughter (that was turned into an assassin to kill him but became his lackey because Ed Greenwood gonna Ed Greenwood) so he, at one point canonically, had nards. Nards that could be kicked.

"I attack the sandwich. Unarmed, to deal non-lethal damage." "Well, okay, roll at -4." "15, so with my BAB and Dex I get to 18 despite the penalty." "You successfully punch the sandwhich. Roll damage. "5." "The sandwich falls unconscious."

NihilCredo posted:Probably not published, but there is like a 0.001% chance that Ed Greenwood doesn't have a folder full of very explicit Chosen of Mystra orgy smut. Ed Greenwood is the Will Ferrel character from that SNL skit where Will Ferrel and Rachel Dratch are weird hippy swingers in a hot tub hitting on strangers, talking about his "Lovahs". He's written extensively about Sex and the Forgotten Realms in the early days of the internet, but most of it seems to have been lost. The only one I can remember off the top of my head is a very long description about how Lady Alustriel using space-bending magic to redistribute her pregnancy weight into another dimension so that she doesn't get fat, and I only remember that because is sparked a "Womb of Holding" meme.

Couldn't you just lead him to a dead magic area and cut his throat, or does he have special bullshit to get around that cause he ate Mystra's rear end that one time?
