How powerful Elminster is?

[Ba-La]

I'm not familiar with D&D , there's even no option to have him join player against Elder brain in the end , is he gonna be too broken or something?

Though he is known for using wish several times which can override reality.

He used to bounce Gale on his knee and change his diapers.

Not as powerful as Chuck Norris, Bill Brasky, Kung Fury, or the Toxic Avenger.

Well he managed to Ressurect entire Dritzz party and teleport my party out of map and also take from me all my gear a stoled from Drittz corpse...

And he was still smilling and polite doing that...

Crazy guy.

He's got a CR of 39, meaning that he is meant to be a difficult fight for a PARTY of level 39 adventurers.

He's also the leader of the Harpers; and just like Gale, he too is a lover to Mystra.

Elminster vs Tarrasque?

Elminster smokes the tarrasque without being touched. Even if you give the tarrasque a breath weapon and other ranged options to avoid fly-cheesing, no contest.

[HereIsPlenty]

Half tree and Half Cleric. How tough can he really be? (Elm Minister? No, ok I will shut up now.)

He is boringly powerful. He probably used a trainer/hack/exploit to get all his abilities but he is so boring he never uses them.

That hack is called being mystras chosen and spam-casting wish to permanently buff himself.

Elminster is a Chosen of Mystra. People who are Chosen by a deity are granted very high levels of power making them almost demigods. He's known as the Sage of Shadowdale, and as Gale mentions, he's over 1300 years old.

He is literally the most powerful wizard of the Forgotten Realms. But even with all of that power, he'd be hard pressed to fight the Absolute head on. That's why it falls to Gale, and us.

Elminster is like Gandalf if Gandalf were actually powerful

Gandalf is way more powerful than how he was presented.

Wizards in Tolkien's Work are actually angelic spirits who possess demigod-like powers. However, before coming to Middle Earth, the wizards were given explicit commands to not use their full power to resolve the whole Sauron conflict. Their mission was to inspire the people to stand up against his evil on their own, instead of looking to the gods to save them.

Sauron was also one of these angelic spirits, though one that had turned to corruption and evil. We saw how powerful he was even after his body was destroyed, so imagine what the wizards could do if they decided to go all out.
