Roger, you know what's wrong with the party in Ptolus?

[Freeky]

Update:  Much to my disgust, there is apparently no room in the rules for a spell named 16 tons of protection from evil.

I'm sorry, you just can't drop 16 weights that all say "1 TON" when an evil creature approaches you. 

And it CERTAINLY wouldn't be a forth level spell.

I was gonna drop one great BIG one.

And I don't see why range increments and material component requirements can't bring it back down to 4th level.

Because it is, essentially, a die or die spell.  Even 9th level spells have saves, except maybe wish.

[Freeky]

Wait.  What kind of material component.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Wait.  What kind of material component.

I was thinking maybe a 16 ton weight.

[Freeky]

Wait.  What kind of material component.

I was thinking maybe a 16 ton weight.

How are you going to carry around a 16 ton weight?

I was going to ask but...

Wait.  What kind of material component.

I was thinking maybe a 16 ton weight.

How are you going to carry around a 16 ton weight?

Now I just....

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Wait.  What kind of material component.

I was thinking maybe a 16 ton weight.

How are you going to carry around a 16 ton weight?

You let me worry about that.

TGRR,
Has been reading the livestock rules again.

[Freeky]

Wait.  What kind of material component.

How are you going to carry around a 16 ton weight?

How many livestocks will it take? 

Also, I'd like to see you get it into the dungeon.

You let me worry about that.

TGRR,

[The Good Reverend Roger]

How many livestocks will it take? 

Also, I'd like to see you get it into the dungeon.

Is that a yes?

Because I have precisely calculated how many sheep, goats, or mules would be required.

Precisely how big and how expensive and what material is a 16 ton weight made out of?

Is it one of the trapezoid prisms?  A cube?  Spherical?  Does it have "16 TONS" painted on the side in white?

A cone, in honor of our Empress.

And yeah, of COURSE it has the 16 tons on the side.  That's half of the bit.

[Freeky]

A wise decision.


I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't be able to take it into a cave complex, though, or even a ruined castle, on account of there being corners and such.  It'd be like moving a couch into an upper floor apartment, only without the softness and easily grabbable bits.

You let me worry about that shit.  I'm an expert.

Okay okay.  Let's say you got around getting it INTO the dungeon, and the price tag attached to 16 tons of iron. 

Where can you get that smelted?  I mean, who would even have a cone mold fifteen feet long??
