What's the Iron Siege?
your level 80~100hd 18th rank deity character faces a 48hd devil with circumstantially granted 18 divine ranks whose only real threatening ability is it's divine ranks which give it a nerfed version of the Salient Ability Alter Reality allowing it to cast any 9th level Spell ever printed.
it's advertised as a Theoretical Optimization Challenge because ... You engage in a contest with a DM who will use rule 0 to subsequently ban the official WotC material you're using to win.
just another thread asking what to ban for a balanced game except the grading rubic is a little absurd.
I didn't realise it could still evoke reactions as strong as this
SorO has strong reactions to lots of things. You should see him and oslecamo going at it.
*shrug* he just doesn't get subtle hints when people desire less direct politer conversation, I think. That and ignoring the "if you don't have to anything nice to say..." mantra. He's been doing better recently.
No, no one beat the Iron Siege...
Really?
[optimized ways to beat him up, once you're near]
[yes], none of the contestants had any trouble with dealing damage
I don't recall any contestant actually getting to meet Dispater. Plane shift only gets you to a layer that isn't his. Getting from their to his layer isn't tough, but I seem to recall that the iron fortress isn't geographically consistent enough to teleport to/into once you're there. You'll have to walk.
I did see someone get to the
outside of the fortress but there was no door. That was when Tshern left (before BG crashed). At the time it peaked my interest. It has again.
I'm considering throwing up a thread to see if anyone wants it revamped but continued.
