[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 2800153, member: 326"] Hey guys! :) Hmm, I think I'll have to go over the document again as per jmucchiello's advice before I do. Thanks again Serge matey! Yes I did all the art myself, for better or worse. I would have prefered to hire Wayne Reynolds but beggars can't be choosers I suppose. I don't think I have mastered the art (no pun intended) of making things look epic yet, but I am quite proud of the achievement, and especially the cover. I don't think I am back to my best yet (I hadn't painted since 1995 before tackling the cover), but I am only going to get better with practice. I'll try and spend a bit more time on dicefreaks in the future, Kain lured me in last week talking about nukes in d20. But I think I had to abscond before things were settled. Well I thought I was following all the guidelines, but you have given me pause on the matter. I'll have to go tidy that up. :eek: Well I presume you don't mean the 'work of fiction' line, and are refering to the line about making copies? If so I'll remove that line and do another incarnation (Version 1.2) tonight. I'm going to have to update the license anyway, can't have that hanging. :uhoh: I was in negotiations with a few, but things fell through for whatever reason, so I just decided to self-publish the Bestiary first (or at least part of it) and then, with something to show for myself, see if any publishers were interested in the actual Immortals Handbook itself or other similar products. I'd certainly prefer to work with an established publisher rather than have to do everything myself, as you have noted I'm not one hundred percent up to scratch on the legal side of things, and the online aspect has been a learning process in truth. Well I am a rookie, but I take your point. Thanks for your advice, very much appreciated. I appreciate the support mate. As for a print version, I suppose that will depend on whether the pdfs are successful enough to merit publisher interest. As long as its not new mistakes. ;) ...yeah, but everybody loves the Neutronium Golem so that one doesn't count. :p ...oh and don't think I didn't get that Grigori wink you cheeky rascal. :D Why not? I think it looks kind of fresh and clean. Aw, c'mon, that font is king! It combines upper and lower case letters in the same way that the Immortals Handbook encapsulates the mortal-Immortal relationship. Apostasy is the power to transcend alignment. With it, a chaotic evil deity could take Paladin Levels, or you could be a Monk-Bard and so forth. It also means a Paladin could cast evil spells. It means that you are immune to the effects of aligned-based weapons and spells. By the way, just incase things were not totally clear, the d20 Hit Dice signifies Demigod+, d100 Hit Dice signifies Elder One/Cosmic power, d1000 Hit Dice signifies Transcendental Level Beings/Time Lords and so forth. These abilities are in the Immortals Handbook, there are prerequisites for getting the d20 Hit Dice, depending on starting Hit Dice type. I have a new type of epic toughness that increases dice type from d4 to d6 to d8 to d10 to d12. So its not technically automatic for immortals, although it would be for those without Class Levels and only Hit Dice. ...I actually got the idea indirectly from the Paragon Template in the ELH. It gives +12 hit point bonus per Hit Dice and I was just thinking that with maximum hit points for a d8 creature, thats the same as a maxed d20. Lastly, as jmucchiello has intimated, it looks like I should update the d20 license, so while I am doing that I may as well fix the errata, so if you find anymore by tonight let me know. Currently the spotted errata is: 1. Maskim's alignment should be Lawful Evil 2. Sadims subname should be Greedy One as it is in the contents. 3. The Flagas entry in the Monsters by CR & ECL list is wonky. [/QUOTE]
