Yeah, let the Dragon strike closer to home.

Dragon tosses abused princess at the feet of the party.

" Oh, she was great... "

PARTY: NOOOO!!! (charges)

Party falls into concealed pool of magma. Screams are heard

DRAGON: Orokanah no ningen da... Yahari ore-sama wa saikyo no mono...

(picks up princess)

DRAGON:NOW BITCH!

That's to ONE person. The area of effect version allows a save.
So? Time stop, Meteor Swarms. two or more characters get blown away, and then you still have the lower level spells to keep the other characters busy...
Since your normal adventuring party doesn't have more than 6 characters... You should be able to take out a significant portion of the party before they have had even one round of combat...

Well munchkinism = kill-a-thons.
High Power gaming doesn't needs to degenerate into munchkinism.
But this requires disciplined players and a skilled GM.

I primarrilly like to have a good story, sort of.

I joined into a midlevel party, where everyone was playing a second generation character. (Annoying being the onlyone with out a godlike parent to yell at you, or to make things easier). So I sat down with the GM and created my character's parents, a witch, an Evil Fighter, a mysterious set of Cursed gear, and people attacking the party for something my character Allegedly did (Oh did I mention that Evil twin brother, who I can't let die, because I would die too) We had a much more interesting campaign.

Well, there seems to be two camps here. Those who want to talk about evil DMing and those who want to talk about campaigns. I think both are cool, so I'll split of the evil DMing thread.
