Palpatine is in a class of his own which includes basically no mortal other than Luke afaik (and Vitiate if you don't count SE). Then we have the others with Kun probably at the bottom. And then, below the bottom, Bane gets buried by scaling chains because he was successful.
Q: Who is the strongest Sith Lord that ever lived? 1. Krayt 2. Revan 3. Bane 4. Vader 5. Exar Kun 6. Palpatine Other...

Darth Bane was the pinnacle of a weak era. He established the Rule of Two in part to incentivise power growth by making the fight for the title of Dark Lord of a Sith a 1v1. His plan succeeded per OOC quotes, so that's 1000 years of Sith surpassing Bane. Then other chains apply.

I've covered this a time or six before, but the short answers are: Fungi. Lots and lots of fungi. Snails. Slimes. And lizards (worn-out pack lizards and all of the smaller varieties). #realmslore

What else do Underfolk tend to eat? I'm assuming whatever meat they can get their hands on is... "foul" would be a kind description.

Contrary to what the 5e encounter guidelines would suggest, a monster of a given CR should be expected to be weaker than a PC of a level equal to that CR. Four CR 5 enemies versus four level 5 PCs = the PCs win. This assumes the PCs have at least somewhat decent builds.

Just gonna comment that I own this book and it has some interesting mechanics. I like how it handles availability of certain items.

1) The answer is: it varies depending on what sort of being is healing, what damage is being healed, and what magic is being used. It's always "a rush," meaning: an excited, tingling, energy rushing through you sensation. What varies is how painful it is, and if you.. #realmslore

@TheEdVerse Hello from Minnesota, this past weekend my party and I were investigating sightings of red clothed wizards about a days ride from Waterdeep when we thought of a question. What does being healed by magic feel like? We came to the conclusion that (1/2)

I appreciate the effort, so let's look at the build. -2 initiative with advantage vs the PeaceChron's +12+1d8 (Alert, Gift of Alacrity, level 2 Chron feature). Wizard wins initiative around 99% of the time, based on a simulation of 100,000 rolls.
I think a level 20 fighter, barbarian, paladin or rogue wins this fight easily. Especially since we're allowing multiclassing. This guy isn't even optimized and he wins that fight. Effectively getting 4+ attacks/round. He wins the fight in two turns.

Never mind, the martial doesn't have advantage, that's barb level 7. Martial wins initiative in 0.16% of cases. The martial with that 2d10+7 damage magic weapon does not kill the wizard in one round and won't get a second chance.

In order for a martial to win, they would have to win initiative and deal 122+ damage vs AC 19/24, 21/26 with Staff of Power, potentially more if including magic armor and shields. A caster needs to avoid having their Wish counterspelled, which Cartomancer can guarantee.
