[QUOTE="Neoiceshroom, post: 5743048, member: 6674872"] No from what I'm familiar with I've never actually seen any way an epic ritual could be statted out to turn boccob into a high lord. i can conceive how it's possible, but I don't see it as being practical because anything higher than a greater deity that manifests in my universe is more or lest instantly forced to make a saving throw (with the DC somewhere in the tousands) or be instantly woven into the cosmos as a planar layer, whole plane, or entire dimension depending on divine status. Boccob being as smart as he is would know this and that's the reason why he hasn't ascended past greater deity already. Remember the ritual the angels cast during the dimension war to imprison all the sidereals? Yeah that's still in effect and even new beings to obtain elder one status they are instantly forced to make the saving throw. Even if they pass the saving throw somehow (likely a natural 20 being the only conceivable manner) they are still permanently bound to their divine realm and may never manifest elsewhere in the Kosmos. The lady of pain and Azmodeus being prime examples. Moving on, as far as balancing the Godblight and Al's other radius based anti-divine abilities the only way I could think would be to give them a similar effect to the divine [storm] effects in where as long as you are within a certain radius of alabaster you get no saving throw, but once you move outside that radius you're allowed a saving throw. Just a thought. [I]Edit[/I]- [I]Also, I would like to apologize for the lack of updates on this thread. My hours at work have picked up lately plus I'm back to taking weekly classes now. Also I'm currently running another 4th level D&D campaign, a 7th level d20 modern campaign, and another 20th level D&D campaign so I haven't had much time to work on this.[/I] [/QUOTE]
