Sit somewhere 10 feet above the ground and drop the chickens. They will start dispersing faster that way.

Re: Destroying the world as we know it, a Handbook
It's a 50% chance, not a save. The reason for using a spell component pouch, though, is that it is considered to have "enough" components - whenever you reach in for a component, it's there.
The other, similar way to do it is by crafting quarterstaves. They have a cost of 0gp, so they take no time to craft, and consume no resources. Stand by a tree and churn out an infinite number of quarterstaves as a free action.
It's possible that this can be combined with Chicken Infested for more hilarity.Quotebox

Re: Destroying the world as we know it, a Handbook
I vaguely recall a discussion about a year ago on the spell Rockburst from Shining South where at least some people argued that RAW the spell (which I believe is 2nd) could destroy the planet. IIRC, the issue was that the spell gives a minimum size of the rock it can explode but no limitation on the maximum. Assuming that the whole planet is one interconnected rock . . . BOOM. (I don't have shining south with me, so I might be misremembering.)

Re: Destroying the world as we know it, a Handbook
Here's an old thread comment where the numbers on True Creation: Box of Electrons get run. It seems relevant since you have TC up there already.

Re: Destroying the world as we know it, a Handbook
The tribble idea is excellent. Tell the DM you want to use magic to create a CR 1/8 creature the size of a large rat. Tell him that it breeds fast. And ask him if you can create a new 3rd level spell "rain of fluff." This spell creates 1d4+1/level tribbles (maximum +10 tribbles) who lie around and do nothing.
Tell the DM that they do breed quickly, and when his back is turned drown the world in infinite tribbles.
Or you create hundreds of demiplanes using Genesis, populate them with thousands or millions of tribbles, and position the gates to the tribble planes in the sky at strategic points around the world. Then open them all at once, drowning the world in tribbles, who create more tribbles, who create more tribbles. And the World dies!

I just looked at this page for the first time in several months. Looks like I came up with a couple elaborations on the brown mold-explosion idea.

Re: Destroying the world as we know it, a Handbook
Just a question about the wall of force end.
Due to the size difference and limitations of the wall of force, wouldn't this make the planet more of a Swiss cheese sphere?Path of the Nefarious: A Way of the Wicked Journal.

Re: Destroying the world as we know it, a Handbook
Commoner rocket-engine.
Have the commoners commonly used in the commoner railgun actually earn ther pay! Line up a bunch of them, until you get reasonably close to the speed of light. Have them railgun away something as heavy as possible (passing it would still be a free action, and thus take no more time, making even moar power!). Make sure you have an ample supply of things (resetting traps of rocks falling? a really big quarry? Come up with something!).
They will function as a jet-engine! Given a long enough line of commoners (it wouldnt even need to be linear!) and a consistent aim you could push earth out of orbit. Cold or warm death, it's up to you ! Perhaps a plunge into Jupiter?

Re: Destroying the world as we know it, a Handbook
This is going to sound wrong, but the very existence of this thread makes me happy. Seriously, a few of these are so evil and convoluted that the only creatures in the world that might be able to do it, regardless of how insane it might be, actually exist in D&D (I'm looking at you, Aboleths).

Re: Destroying the world as we know it, a Handbook
Trick i thought up for another thread but works here
Human Draconic heraitage sorcerer 1 Bard 8 with Melodic Casting, Draconic Heritage Battle Dragon, Song of the Heart, Darkspeech and Dragonfire Inspiration, who owns a vest of legends, a badge of valor, a wand of lesser restoration that he gives to his familliar to UMD and an Alphorn. The Bard knows the spells Summon Swarm and Inspiration boost. He uses Darkspeech on the earth to reduce its hardness by 2, then begins his alphorn performance for +6d6 sonic damage to all attacks for every ally within a 7 mile radius which at the moment is only himself and his familliar. He then casts summon swarm to create a neutral 4 square spider swarm which he then uses Darkspeech to give 90 sorcorer levels to , evil intelligence and the objective to multiply and destroy the land. This lv 90 sorcorous intelligence also knows summon swarm and the darkspeech feat and can maintain concentration via a move action via the swift concentration skill trick. This evil swarm also passively deals a 1d6 physical+ 6d6 sonic attack (since it now counts as your ally) for every square it occupies for an average of 88 damage per round. This swarm Summons 2 other swarms and uses darkspeech to give them the same stats as itself and the same objective.
Round 1, 1 intelligent swarm that can summon, 88 dmg/rnd 88 total dmg
Round 2 3 intelligent swarms 2 can summon 264 dmg/rnd 352 total
Round 3 7 intelligent swarms 4 can summon 616 dmg/rnd 968 total
Round 4 15 intelligent swarms 8 can summon 1320 dmg/rnd 2288 total
round 5 31 Intelligent swarms 16 can summon 2728 dmg/rnd 5016 total
round 4 63 intelligent swarms 32 can summon 5544 damage/rnd 10568 tot
this exponential growth of vibrating death bugs will eventually max once they fill up the 7 mile radius your Alphorn bardic music fills, maxing out at 184,912,836 swarms at round 28 dealing 16,272,329,568 dmg per round or 2,343,215,457,792,000 per day. You will however have 134,217,728 swarms not mantaining concentration so are still free to cast as 90th lv sorcorers.
This 7 mile radius area of death will destroy solid rock aproximately 5 miles deep every hour you continue to play your bardic music, If any of the 134Million evil epic sorcorers in your bardic music range have access to Ventriloquism, Ghost sound, Minor Image, Clairaudiance or any other spell that could extend your audio range then this swarm could easily envelop the world in an additional 24 rounds

Re: Destroying the world as we know it, a Handbook
1: The Dragonfire Adepts breath weapon DOES NOT have a cooldown, and therefore cannot actually qualify for Metabreath feats without a house rule (http://rpg.stackexchange.com/questio...tabreath-feats)
2:While some metabreath feats do explicitly state that you can enlarge multiple times Enlarge Breath is:
"The length of your breath weapon increases by 50% (round down to the nearest multiple of 5). For example, an old silver dragon breathing an enlarged cone of cold produces a 75-foot cone instead of a 50-foot cone. Cone-shaped breath weapons get wider when they get longer, but lineshaped breath weapons do not. When you use this feat, add +1 to the number of rounds you must wait before using your breath weapon again."
While some (Lingering Breath being one) have something under "Special" like this "You can apply this feat more than once to the same breath weapon. Each time you do, the lingering breath lasts an additional round."
3: Just for fun my DM and I did some approximations and the experience from all the LVL 0 commoners would be (At max) roughly 45.5 Billion
4: SOMEONE FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE THIS WORK CAUSE I REALLY WANTED IT TOOOOOOOOOOO

Re: Destroying the world as we know it, a Handbook
You need to use a weapon that only does 1d2 damage, so an adamantine greatsword won't work. The adamantine material is somewhat irrelevent, as infinite damage quickly exceeds any hardness or DR your target might have. A small-sized character wielding a gauntlet or light shield should work.
Also, it involves some magic, at least indirectly: you have to cast at least a cure light wounds spell to get the carrier effect from Imbued Healing.

Me like.
Also, anyone wishing to summon an Elder Evil doesn't have to follow the guidelines presented in the book if they're a powerful enough spellcaster.

Re: Destroying the world as we know it, a Handbook
It would take a while, but the Cthulhu epic vestige allows you to summon a sphere of annihilation everyday, which can be used as many rounds as you have ebl. It would take a while, but you could hollow out the earth that way, or at the very least kill the core, getting rid of the magnetic field, leading to solar winds scorching the earth.

Re: Destroying the world as we know it, a Handbook
Spell Clock abuse can end the world pretty efficiently.
I personally like setting them up in rings with one making material via True Creation, another animating that material, and others buffing the subsequent creatures.
Awaken Sand from Sandstorm is fantastic for this process as the resultant creatures are friendly to the caster and could be left a note to just go out and buy/commission/make more Spellclocks of the above.
With the 'Constructs are Magic Items' rules interpretation it gets even easier. (Golems are explicitly Magic Items, other Constructs might be depending on interpretation.)
Get a Spellclock set to Wish: Custom Magic Item. Make that Custom Magic Item be a Construct that is also a Spellclock of Wish: Custom Magic Item. (See 'Combining Magic Items' in the SRD and MIC.) Etc, etc.
I'm sure there are less Construct-centric methods to end everything with Spellclocks, those are just my favorites.
Edit: Like a dummy I forgot to add that the War Spell virtual metamagic feat speeds this process up by 25 creatures per CL per casting. (It might even be necessary to accomplish the goal in anything resembling a timely fashion.) Adding other Metamagics, like Twin Spell and Repeat Spell help too.Last edited by unseenmage; 2014-04-15 at 08:18 PM.

Re: Destroying the world as we know it, a Handbook
Red Wizard CL abuse plus a spherical wall of force plus Create Water equals a Black Hole. Create Water does not have a CL cap, just generating 2 gallons per level. Once you get enough of a caster level (I think is was about 2.5 million, though I could be wrong), you cast Create Water within the sphere and the sheer density takes over.
