Well, the weight thing is fine.  As the thing goes relativistic its mass will increase :)

Hehe, dm says you cant have an altered time rate in your demiplane? Settle for time dilation and destroy his campaign world.

My crazy CL Mind Mage build can destroy planets just from the AoE of spells like a Locate City Bomb or Apocalypse from the Sky.  Just saiya-jin...

Heck, you could destroy the game-world as we know it with a Decanter of Endless Water. A single character could have that by level 5, in theory. Sure, lots of things would survive, but not most of the things most players care about.

If Pazuzu became common knowledge, I think the destruction would follow shortly thereafter.

Here you go.  Black Mage Warning : 4 or higher digit CL is hazardous to your health, particularly if the DM has heavy objects nearby.

The very old Epic board, took this question literally
... as an Earth vs Damage equation.
They came up with "the" answer.


CO could do the ring gates thingy
that accelerates an object to speed = infinity.
Of course this mixes real life physics with D&D physics.

The locate city bomb could be used with the Ranger Spell Lay of the Land for a 50 mile radius at CL 1, instead of 20 at CL 20, widen or enlarge for increased size on top of that.

Be a mistling fey.  Have the feat 'magic in the blood'.

Use your 'conjure living spell' spell-like ability on your 'conjure living spell' spell-like ability to create an ooze that creates oozes.

Then, gray goo the planet.

1): hover approximately 40080 miles over the surface of the earth(distance based on KellKheraptis' CL trickery). That is 64502507,52 meters
2): Directly below you, have as dense and as huge an object as you can get your hands on. For now, let's just assume you can probably get your hands on, through spells and other fun shenanigans, an object weighing 2444880 kilograms, or 2444.88 metric tons(the approximate product of Major Creation making osmium at CL 4008).
3):Adjust your height so that the bottom edge of this object is exactly 40080 miles.
4):Fire off a locate city bomb, launching the object all those 64502507,52 meters to the surface of the earth in six second, getting it a speed of 10750417,92 meters/second(approximately 3-4% of the speed of light). Given a weight of 2444880 kilograms, that gives it a kinetic energy of, hold on, 141279206679191057596,416 joules, or 33766540,7933 megatons of TNT. That equals approximately 74442479694499710 pounds. Given those 3d6 damage that one pound of TNT does, that means we do 223.327.439.083.499.130d6 damage.

As it turns out, just summoning a fuckton of Anti-Osmium is waaaaay more efficient. But not as awesome as launching a super-missile from outer space, i would argue.

The problem is that dynamite damage stops stacking fairly quickly.  Ten million sticks of dynamite detonated simultaneously deal 5d6 damage and no more.

Ha! Right like a global warming thing.
The Decanter is 30 gallons per round.
30 gallons = ~4 cubic feet = 2' x 2' square 1' deep.
Diameter = 7926 to 7901 miles, a little egg shaped.
4 pi (7914/2)^2 = surface area of Earth in miles
convert to feet ; divide by 4 = how long to "soak" Earth with 1 foot of water.

(time crunch)

Well, fuck.

I guess if the rules bore any resemblance to realism, we wouldn't be having this conversation in the first place.
