Hey Anabstercorian mate! 
I was looking for ages on the net trying to find relevant sources. Its easy finding source material on nukes (which I was familiar with anyway), but less so gravity (which I am relatively unfamiliar with).
Very, very interesting. I have already worked out 2 new aspects of the gravitation field.
Are there any sites on the internet dealing with the effects of high gravity? Or are you guys at MIT up for a bunch of questions?
In lieu of appropriate material, I had to make an arbitrary decision.

Hey S'mon!
S'mon said:
Glad you like it.
S'mon said:
Thanks! I'm not totally happy with the Sentinels (of the four multi-faceted golems), initially they were meant to be more like your Steel Colossi.

He he!

True, but thinking about it, the mercury would be vulnerable to acid. I also added blood poisoning which the original didn't have.

These new Krangar are totally brilliant, wait 'til you see. I'm tying the Prismatic Pudding into the Brood/Limbo, it'll also have a few new tricks.

Partly, lets just say its my homage to my favourite monster from Wrath of the Immortals.
I probably should have done all the pseudonatural creatures in Volume 1. Initially I was going to have Algol (my version of Azathoth) in there as well. Volume 1 has the Angels, Volume 2 has the Intelligibles and Umbrals. Volume 3 has the Elementars and Inevitables.
I think if the publisher asks for Volume 1 to be bumped to 96 pages I might include a few more Pseudonaturals in there to make up those extra 8 pages.

Yeah, that was a cool touch.
BTW re gravity, the main thing to note AIR is that it decreases proportional to distance squared; so that if you're twice as far away gravity is 1/4. One effect of this is that small worlds have higher gravity than you might think, basically gravity on surface is proportinal to the diameter of the planet so eg a 12,000 km planet (Earth) has gravity of ca 10 m/s/s* and a 1,200 km planet of same density would have 1/10 the gravity, 1 m/s/s
*Object accelerates towards centre of planet with velocity increasing by 10 meters/second every second.
Minor Nitpicks
I've been reading through the new release, and I have a coulpe of minor issues:
1) In the odium entry, the Germinate power ends with this phrase:
What does happen if the seed pod is destroyed while the odium is still alive? Nothing good for the PC's, I assume.
2) Light Armor Mastery has a prerequisite of 25 STR, while Medium Armor Mastery has a prerequisite of 20 STR. These should be switched, right? Also, does armor mastery remove arcane spell failure chance and maximum Dexterity bonus? Does it allow monks and others who have class abilities restricted by armor to use those abilities while wearing armor?
3) Does Automatic Metamagic Capacity and Metamagic Freedom apply to all classes of a multiclass spellcaster, or only one? Also, what do the psionic versions look like?
Other than those, GREAT job. Your monsters will keep my players up at night for a LONG, LONG time.

Hey there MHahn!
That sentence should be:
Should a seed pod be destroyed while the odium is still living it can spend a day creating another.
Different odium will have different wards and guards for the seedpods. If one of their seedpods is destroyed you can be sure it will have the perpetrators hunted down and either captured or killed.
Yes, a number of people have mentioned this error, actually, it should be:
Light 25, Medium 30, Heavy 35.
..which I think may mean the Elohim should have Strength 40 as a base.
Yes. The character simply becomes unencumbered by the armour.
Yes, although I should add that you should also need to be proficient with that type of armour before you can gain those feats. I'll be sure and fix those feats for the official release.
It applies to all classes and spell-like abilities.
Automatic Manifestation (giving you a free +2 pp bonus) and Metapsionic Freedom (self explanetory).
Glad you are happy with it.
Thanks very much for your feedback (and thanks also to those who emailed as well).

Is there anyone here from Dicefreaks?
Hey all!
I'm just wondering if there is anyone here from dicefreaks? I tried signing in earlier and it doesn't seem to recognise my email address when I try and use the 'Forgot your password' option.
I know many of you guys out there will be celebrating Independence Day so no major hurry on getting that sorted today I suppose.

I've started a thread there. It's on its second page; many people had questions. I fielded them as best I was able, and pointed them to this thread for anything I couldn't handle.

Hmmm... I don't recall if you joined since the second site? Also, the boards are down right now. However, I'll take a look at it as soon as we're up tomorrow.Upper_Krust said:Hey all!

Looking forward to reading this.
