this is a post by Sivar at planetbg.com forum, a discussion about Elminster's power
Elminster has no stats above 25 because he is from 2nd edition, in which stats max out at 25.
He has 25 con, a gift from his good friend Mystra, the godess of magic. He is a very high level fighter and is a very high level in another class as well, though I cannot remember what it is. His third class is the only class that he really uses, mage. I believe he is level 27 in that area.
Elminster could easily kill anything. Besides the fact that he is a genius and would know precisely how to best use his insane array of spells, many of which he invented and probably including "Win battle" and "kill enemy, period"... He is also invincible. No, his character sheet, if such a thing exists, would not say so.. You see, yes he is friends with several gods and other powerful beings that would come to his aide, but also when WoTC purchased TSR, part of the agreement was that Elminster could never be defeated or die.
Thus, he is invincible at a level even higher than the DM... Wizards of the Coast! I believe that the same agreement was made when they were purchased by Hasbro, but I am unsure.
