The problem is, getting them to run out of spells. Any good mage has a teleport without error spell ready, or a contingency set with teleport without error for the very second they run out of spells.
That or they just sit inside a prismatic sphere Rest and prepare spells inside the sphere etc.

The movie WAS bad. Not because of a bad plot or bad acting(at least not on the part of Jeremy Irons, he played Profions part PERFECTLY an inspiration to evil mages everywhere though i admit, the other actors sucked ass) but becaue the director and the majority of the casting sucked. YOU do NOT make a movie like that into a comedy. NO BAD MONKEY!Vympel wrote:Alyrium Denryle wrote:I will of course end up looking(and acting) like Profion

As Alyrium's wonder of what part of the world to carve up first I say Asia...it's large with many climate providing excellent test range of subjects and interesting experiments.
Hmm Asia, full of smart people to train, and in many areas already under an oppressive government. I am sure a magocracy is better than communism

Any smart fellow will simply have a temporary Greater Dispelling cast on all the bullets and weapons ahead of timeThat or they just sit inside a prismatic sphere Rest and prepare spells inside the sphere etc.
Oh And Transport only gets you so far
You can't always run
And an Planer-Mancatcher will hold you fast(Using any sort of travel spell be it Gate, Teleport, Even items when in a mancatcher gives you the equvilant pain of your legs being riped off then knocks you unconsius)

Greater dispelling doesnt work on a prismatic sphere. Teleport without error will get you to any-place that you know very well. If that place just so happens to be your undersea base of doom, or hidden mountain fortress all the better. Well all the better.Mr Bean wrote:Any smart fellow will simply have a temporary Greater Dispelling cast on all the bullets and weapons ahead of timeThat or they just sit inside a prismatic sphere Rest and prepare spells inside the sphere etc.

Get out of the planar mancatcher. or if a spell(I am unfamiliar with it,probably similar to dimensional anchor) dispell it. Then move. Again contingency spells are fun.

You also must remember that the only people who are going to have access to magic at first will be who I call the "magially aware/hopfull) essentially pagans/wiccans and RPG fans.
It would probably best if everyone of us formed acabal of mages and took over the world that way. Why fight against each other, when we can take over the world jointly and carve up the land later?

From "What AD&D class am i?"
You Are A:
Lawful Evil Human Mage Fighter
Follower Of Velsharoon
Alignment:
Lawful Evil characters believe that a nice, orderly system of life is perfect for them to abuse for their own advancement. They will work within 'the system' to get the best that they can for themselves.
Race:
Humans are the 'average' race. They have the shortest life spans, and because of this, they tend to avoid the racial prejudices that other races are known for. They are also very curious and tend to live 'for the moment'.
Primary Class:
Mages harness the magical energies for their own use. Spells, spell books, and long hours in the library are their loves. While often not physically strong, their mental talents can make up for this.
Secondary Class:
Fighters are the warriors. They use weapons to accomplish their goals. This isn't to say that they aren't intelligent, but that they do, in fact, believe that violence is frequently the answer.
Deity:
Velsharoon is the Neutral Evil god of necromancy, liches, and undeath. He is also known as the Vaunted, the Archmage of Necromancy, and the Lord of the Forgotten Crypt. His followers practice the necromantic arts, and raise the dead to do their bidding. His symbol is a crowned skull.
SWEET!!!!!!!!

think the last time I did one of those what class are you tests, it gave me MultiClass Mage Bard. (It always gave Multi Classes through so I just took the mage bit...)

Now first thging is first, we must take out my friend Clayton(he is more of a munchkin than I am, i actually roleplay) he must be destroyed before he gathers a following.
First contingency-hold person set to go off targeted on him when i teleport to his location.
Scry on him for a while, and carfully study his surroundings.
Teleport without error to him as he is preparing spells in the morning
contingency goes off
take his spellbook
search his person for magic items that could be of value
cast disintegrate on him
leave

Oh heres a tactic for taking out beans armys find a Plane of existance that has a faster rate of time passage, and each have prepared the spell that allows you Plane Shift. When our spells are about to run out Planeshift here, sleep and eturn with a full Spell book again. If the time differance is great enough only a few seconds or minutes should have passed back here. (This tactic is stolen from the Manual of the Planes and I take no credit for it...) Wait a minute I'm the good guy aposing your evil power groups why am I helping.... Erm bye and please ignore the above idea, it won't work honest... damn it too late.
Wild mage disapears from the secret meating of the cartel of Black Mages, he did leave a parting offensive spell but instead Gems came pouring from his fingers, oh well, next time I'll get you all.

Well thats okay then I'm good.... Thinks long and hard, okay time to finish that sword I was making. (I decided with my last Wild MAge to design a Magic sword to be his lifes work, one that when he 'died' would be left to his Church. (Or in this guys case became a Fire Elemental being. (An Elf Fire Elemental, damn it we need to restart that campaign, pity theDM is only in his second term now of the years placement...)It was bloody powerful the spells he was going to have it able to cast, over the +10 rule maybe. But then it had so many limits as well. (Recharged in moon light, if it was out all night, and only 1/2 recharged if the moon was obscured for over 50% of the night behind clouds. Made of Mithril Silver, Darkened Black with the Silver shining through at the hilt to repersent the moon and for magic runes. Oh Cooled in Holy Water while it was being forged, then Blessed by a Priest/Priestss of his religion. Before he was willing to use it.)Alyrium Denryle wrote:Used that one against M:tg
