A character can feel/be cosmic without their HP being 50k, their BAB +250, their AC 274, and their cosmic beam dealing 1000d20 damage. And notoriously, if you take Ascension as-is, those stats do not even matter when everyone Auto-hits, or has 500+ "No You" trap-cards up their sleeve. Abilities...

I hate to butt in like this (and my knowledge on 5e in general is extremely limited) but a game of ever-increasing astronomical numbers for the sake of artificial difficulty is something I believe nobody wants to play in earnest, especially in the context of a dice-rolling game. In my honest...

Made some fixes based on the feedback of several people. Many wording ambiguities have been clarified, with a few new things added (some feats and synergy bonuses for classes).

Well, I had nothing better to do the past week so here's a collection of all my homebrew rules on D&D 3.5e. I'd say it's more akin to a 'fan patch' than just a few intricacies at my table. I like to kid myself that I write these things for my own players, but they are not the kind of people that...

Death Attack is available at the level a Cleric gets Slay Living. Although a spell, Slay Living is a Standard Action and a Touch Attack as well. Death Attack is a full-round action and has a -10 penalty on the hit. It is at-will, but you have to sacrifice your turn doing nothing else, and your...

A collection of feats for martial characters. The general idea is, "sacrifice BAB, do things". I use them on my table in place of obscure feat chains and prestige classes my players will never touch in a million years.

I might be late to the party, but this is my interpretation of the metamartial maneuvers of the same name in Craig Cochrane's Immortals Handbook: Ascension. The general idea was to expand on their sub-epic level uses for my table's needs, but the concept remains the same. This does not mean that...

Yeah I can understand, but my group is kinda more interested in seeing how certain classes (core and supplemental) work at high levels in short-story formats instead of long campaigns from zero. I've attempted to run actual campaigns for them (with mixed success), but I believe I have...

I've been routinely running short stories for my group at the 15+ Level starting point (5-session Expeditions or Dungeon Crawls, maybe 1-2 sessions more depending on the story in question), and I've more or less done away with the default Starting Wealth system and the way you are supposed to...

I don't want to be an obnoxious "ackthually" guy, but a base saiyan adult is considered to be stronger than Raditz in-universe, who is a "weakling". Although, I'll be honest my memory is vague on the matter and this might be more fan canon than anything else. Also I honestly have no idea what...

After much needed feedback and a general rewrite of the system, I believe I'm done. I've considered and heard several expectations on what people might need from a 'playable' epic system for 3.5e. The core system is ~4 pages long, with additional pages devoted to sample material for your own...

The only "legal" (and 100% unintended) mass devastation spell that comes to mind is an extremely watered down Locate City bomb (Snowcasting -> Flash Frost -> Energy Admixture -> Maybe toss one more Metamagic -> 9th Spell) for ~50 energy damage over ~200 miles, in 3.5e anyway.

I perfectly agree with your point of view, what slights me is people misinterpreting inconsistent and bad writing retconned years later as somehow "always that way all along". DBZ Fighters being toned down to "realistic" levels is not something that bothers me.

It was stated by Kami (during the later episodes of original DB) that he brought it back after permanently removing Goku's tail. Also that is, if I remember correctly, the only time the show attempted to explain the status of the Moon with any kind of consistency.

Vegeta clearly didn't find the Moon and needed to use a technique to transform to an Oozaru. I am terribly sorry for all the people out there that want to say otherwise, but Piccolo blasted the Moon. It was not a metaphorical Moon, it was not an illusionary Moon, it was the actual Moon. If it...
