D&D Theorycraft
Using a 20th level build, with the point-buy system and the "starting gold" system in the DMG, I was able to theoretically push the Save DC for a particular fight-ending Compulsion effect up to 56.
A Great Wyrm Gold Dragon who is also a 20th level Wizard has a Will save of 45, barring other magical effects. This means that such a creature (which is a CR 47, for the record) has only an even chance of resisting.
Now, I have no illusions that I would actually get the effect off, since it takes several rounds, and a somewhat generous DM, to prepare.
I am -such- a dork.
