GEEZ...
Lissen, madjoker...
The point is simple :
ANY CHARACTER CLASS CAN BE MANUFACTURED INTO A GOD.
A Level 40 mage is a GOD.
A Level 40 fighter is a GOD.
Hell, a level 40 gnome-jester would be a GOD.
Nobody isn't saying that your 40th level MUNCHKIN player isn't god-like. He is.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS AT LEVEL 40 !
At higher levels, NOTHING can touch a mage. TimeSTOP. (You can no longer move. can't attack. can't defend. just watch yerself get whittled down) Follow with AoE spells, like CLOUDKILL. Rinse & repeat. You would never move. And don't mention your saving throws. At Level 40, a mage spell CANNOT be stopped.
The reason most of us laugh at this is how silly it sounds to run the same character through the game 3 times, and still act like it is a legit character. You'll take him through TOB, and then tell all the newer players how tough you are. Kinda like Michael Jordan playin against schoolkids, then bragging...
Enjoy the game...
