In P&P D&D, reaching 20th level was a feat rarely acheived fairly. The highest level I ever heard of someone getting fairly was 16th, and he had that mage for years! Most high level spells were used from scrolls and had a specific purpose when found. Horrid wilting could get you out of an impossible jam the DM devised. Remember, celestial beings and greater demons are in the level 25-30 range. I find most of the standard monsters in TOB to be completely unreal in order to try to balance out the insanely high player levels. I mean, level 40 is like in the demi-god range!
