      In my homebrew setting, I actually still allow casting of 10+ lvl spells. It's just incredibly difficult (very hard to learn, need multiple people, insane component cost, chance of failure, etc...) Makes for a very interesting game and also is a great tool for the BBEGs to use (great basis for a campaign).

      IIRC, archliches are the "good" liches. And yes, I think it's kind of dumb, especially since they become liches the same way as the evil ones. There's literally no difference except alignment.
      Anyway, I believe I've heard that all of this lore involving Mystra and 10th level spells only applies to one specific D&D setting, so nothing is actually stopping you from using 10th level spells normally in other settings.

      @Nionivek 4 года назад +4

      @Greywander, he is how it works. Orcus either created or perverted the ritual to create a lich in such a way that it would slowly drive the mage into villainy. Archliches are liches, in everyway, except that they have overcome that limitation (and I believe they don't even have to eat souls).
      Now there are also "Lesser Liches" which is like a Lich EXCEPT that they are only immune to death by aging... They are otherwise perfectly mortal.

Simulacrum can't gain levels. So you'd have to argue that once you get to level 20 again and recast simulacrum it's still the same "pair".

      They can and the proof is in the existence of Abeir. It's depicted as being "in" the same crystal sphere as Toril, but it exists in a pocket dimension that is entirely cut off from the weave, yet it still has magic and spell casters. The magic just works differently than it does on worlds with a connection to the weave. So if there is still magic on Abeir, a world cut off from the typical source that's controlled by Mystra, there's no reason to believe the weaves rules would apply to an Abeir caster either.

I might also be mistaken, and there simply is just another form of magic that isn't a part of the weave that I am unaware of.

    Sounds to me like this could be the start of an interesting campaign: The Return Of Netheril, where the heroes help to create a NEW magic empire! But will Mystra stay silent? With the old evils that brought the Netherese low return? Will they even survive its success?!
    Side note: if the use of 10th level spells needs WISDOM, then what would the amount have to be? By level 20, any wizard worthy of the title should have an Intelligence of 20 NATURALLY to be able to even UNDERSTAND what the 10th level spell even IS, but I think to cast it the’ll need between 18 and 20 Wisdom. Only less - to a minimum of 16 - if the spell itself has “plot armor,” and is necessary for the campaign.

    Do a video on the Shadow Weave. The Shadow Weave would avoid Mystra's detection, in exchange for making a pact with Shar, or becoming a worshiper of Shar and permanently losing a part of your soul. So before the spell plague, you would be able to make a deal with Shar to cast a 10th level spell. But 10th level spells still wouldn't be able to be strong enough to do anything that could avoid the gods and let you cast 10th level spells indefinitely.

As long as you don't do anything to the city or cast any teleportation or planescaping spells, the Lady of Pain won't really stop you. And the gods can't go to sigil either.

    I would opt to try to cast a 10th level spell with the Shadow Weave instead. Shar would LOVE to boast that the Shadow Weave was more powerful than the Spell Weave. The act alone would cause many arcane users to start using the Shadow Weave instead which would super power Shar. This would almost certainly cause her to grant you the powers of a Chosen, Exarch, or even be granted a portion of her increased power to become a Demigod.

My friend is DMing a adventure about Elminster, apparently, going bat-shit crazy and working together with a multiplanar circus from Eberron(Where the player characters of the DM live) to find and collect all powerfull Magic items in Faerun, and beyond, so he can use their magic to create a rune so he can cast a 13th level spell for whatever reason.
    That might seem like a somewhat bad story by itself, but it's united with the power of the weeb soul of the DM. So, with that combination, the players are the nominally weakest of a group of 100 parties helping in this task, under the lead of a Monk named Natsu, with a doll called Happy by his side, qnd together they do nothing but watch while our lvl 1 party fights against lvl 3 parties (the DM makes every humanoid npc have a player character sheet) and almost die every battle

      No. IIRC, elves came up with a way for many casters working together to create mythals, which are basically huge areas (like a whole forest) where there's a certain spell effect. For example, a mythal might allow everyone in the area to cast remove curse once per day. I'm pretty sure Waterdeep has a mythal that acts as a forbiddance spell against dragons. This is especially powerful when you consider that in earlier editions this damage was typeless and therefore couldn't be resisted or immune. I don't 100% remember how they did it, but mythals were their thing.

    I have had nvr been a believer of such things. But after I had a break , and then I wanted to reunite with my ex ,I tried love spells. Honestly speaking was completely speechless with the spiritual power of Dr ikenga. Everything happened as he said to me

      Lol spell casting is a gift like every other rare gift you know. It ain't for everybody. I mean, its funny how people come on youtube and search for ways to become spell casters themselves lol. Well, I'm not the smartest either because I did that before until I got introduced to someone who actually helped me solve my marital issues. Yeah, that's what mine was about, he does everything.

    Honestly such a cool way to allow the DM's more control.

    I have always been interested in the magic of D&D. In my games I try to find lore and gather information about it, but have never played a wizard, outside of DMing. Inspired by your videos, I decided to take a wizard class for the first time, and will be starting up soon in a long journey to restore the age of magic, and 10th level spells =D I love your content, thank you for creating. I look forward to the video on space and spelljammers.

    This is exciting! I did not consider the events of the Time of Troubles at all! This is quite mind blowing!

    I love that there are canon reasons for changes between editions and a chronological order for things happening.

    All of a sudden a literally new and fresh Mistral with not so great control of the weave allows for strange possibilities. All you need is one clever soul who isnt stupid.

    So, Mystra is just the DnD deific equivalent to the Sean Bean meme.
    Also, thank you so much for making these Videos. I originally watched these when they were released, and am now revisiting them in order to plan out a possible way for how the campaign I currently master could go.

    A very useful video would be describing the events and lore leading up to Horde of The Dragon Queen so players have a good sense on what they're walking into. It would actually be helpful to both DM and player alike as the DM needs one last handout and players can make more campaign appropriate characters.

    Thank you heaps! I had a undead wizard who was left alone at the end of the campaign for 30 years, when she came back for a Camo she was still at 13th level...now I know why...she's been meddling in 10th level spellcasting and level drained herself over and over again trying to make it work. :)
