Hey amigo!

I released an unfinished version of Gods & Monsters (for free download). That's the only other 3rd Edition material that was released.

I also have the Vampire Bestiary: Mountain of the Cannibal God released. That's for 4th edition though.

Incidentally I will be away travelling for the next 6 days so don't be expecting replies during that time.

Does the divine ability Uncanny Weapon Focus remove the penalty for using the Manyshot feat?

Can a Strike effect be imbued into a ranged/thrown weapons?

What would be a good idea for the Revenge Domain's granted power? I was thinking something along the lines of some amount of bonus damage on next attack against an opponent that damaged you before the attack.

Howdy Nezkrul!

...incidentally you forced me to read over parts of Ascension (which I hadn't done in about a year), damn I'd forgotten how good that book actually is*.

*How awesome is the Ygorl art above the Uncanny Weapon Focus ability! Looking back I wonder how the heck I ever drew anything that good.

Manyshot specifically caps at 4 arrows with a -8 attack bonus on a BAB of +16.

I considered Epic Manyshot and Divine Manyshot but I think the -2 penalty for an extra attack is unbalanced at epic levels and you should simply use the -5 penalty in the Metamartial 'Quicken Attack' instead.

So Manyshot still works but caps at 4 attacks at -8.

Personally if I was rewriting Manyshot I would specify each arrow needs to hit a separate target if medium or smaller, you can hit Large targets with 2, and Huge with 4.

Yes.

Maybe a +1 to hit and +2 to damage would be appropriate.

on the manyshot thing: assume I'm making Ehlonna who has all the manyshot feats/divine abilities. If she has nescient and takes all the fighter feats to get uncanny weapon focus making all of her iterative attacks use the same bonus as the first attack, would that remove the "iterative" penalty for each arrow fired in a greater improved manyshot?

As I see it, you would use the same bonus as the first attack for each attack, but the arrow limit wouldn't change.

Thanks bro! I'm still using your work for my campaigns. Really enjoy how you quantified divinity for D&D

I know this is a really old thread, but what tier would an ability that gives a god telepathy with a range equal to their aura be? I would say divine.

I agree, I think they can do Sending at will though so it's sort of redundant

I'm creating a supreme being of my own and am looking for ideas of Metempiric Abilities. Feel free to reply with ideas. The more creative, the better.
