Epic PrC Idea for Eadric of Deorham Urgently Required

[Gideon]

Piratecat had a thought

Choice seems to be one of the major themes for Eadric. He also has been given leeway and his own personal devil advocate. So Piratecat's idea has a lot of merit in my opinion. Yeah...how bout those two copper pieces.

If you have dieties and demigods look at a divine rank 0. You don't get a whole lot but it could be drawn out over a level or two. Now divine rank 1+ is a bigger jump in power. which could be broken up savage species style.

Doable?

Okay, so this might be the basis for a possible 20-level Epic PrC – incorporating ideas about flexibility and avoiding the gradation of abilities which would be redundant at high level (acid resistance 5, light 1/day etc.) This is just mechanics – sorry if it seems a bit dry. By 20th level, all half-celestial abilities and quasi-deity traits are incorporated. Feedback, as always, is much appreciated.

so does this mean that eadric would forego BAB and save progression except where modified by a special ability?

Nope. Epic level advancement for BAB and saves has a specific rate, regardless of class. +1 per 2 levels, though they are offset from each other.

Requirements: Character must be Eadric of Deorham (ahem).

I have some problems with that line - but it's only envy.

I like it.
It's simple. It gives Lombard some options to play with. And of course, it's cool.

in that case, i'm all in favor. it seems like a fair compromise between the various suggestions.

 

[Nifft]

Perfect! Very well done!

All that needs "touch-up" are the Requirements, and it's general-purpose, too!

[Lela]

Wow, once again you've made the impossible possible. Very well done. Just to note, I burst out laughing when I read the Requirments.

I still wonder about Reserection and Edric. Would he use it? Should he use it?

Also, what about the rest of the characters?

 

[darkbard]

question about immutable form: would eadric be able to supress this ability at will? if not, it may make certain enterprises [like the current one] somewhat difficult.

Like the man said, the one thing Eadric needs is more hard decisions...

I look forward to him agonising over resurrection, and the story fallout either way.
