   Kind of like instructions on how to make a Mnoren.  A bit over the top 
eh?  Yeah, nothing challenges those high level guys like three digit stats.

    Let me tell you about this guy I knew.  He showed me his pride and joy, 
his Paladin Lord.  He had been playing this D&D character for years.  He had 
so much treasure and equipment it took twelve sheets of paper to list it 
all.  He told me "This guy is so good, he can beat six baalrogs single 
handedly."  I was interested so I examined the sheets a little closer and 
told him I could beat this Paladin Lord with just six baalrogs.
    We aranged a time and place to have it out with paper and pencils.  He 
starts getting nervous and saying things like...
   "I want all my equipment to act like it always has.  I don't want any of 
the magic rules to suddenly change under my feet.  I don't want to be 
anywhere strange, in fact, I want to start out in the bedroom of my own 
castle in my own world.  I don't want..."
   "Relax, it'll be a fair fight." I said.  "Your fully armed and armoured, 
standing in the master bedroom of your castle when a portal opens up in one 
wall.  Through the portal you see a one hundred foot by one hundred foot 
stone platform, floating in the middle of the abyss.  It comes flush right 
up to your wall.  Standing on the opposite side are six baalrogs, waiting.  
What do you do?"
   "I ready my holy avenger and close to attack."
   "The six baalrogs combine their telekenesis, and toss you into the abyss 
where your character is lost forever."
   "What!?"  he said.
   "I added up the encumberance total of all twelve sheets of loot you have 
there, and the combined telekenisis of six baalrogs can lift more than that. 
 See here, and the begining of the section on Demons where is says 
abilities all demons have?"
   He checked the numbers and admitted defeat.  It was a new experience for 
him.  He had never been beaten by encumberance before.  I have found that 
the basics are usually the best way to beat the high and mighty.
