I would think Asmodeus ought to be able to function unharmed on either frozen or fiery levels of the Nine Hells, for example ... but maybe that could be a separate trait like "No environmental damage can affect Asmodeus while within the Nine Hells"? So he could hang out in the ice of Stygia...

In the same way a swarm is many creatures (in the fiction) that act as one creature statblock (in the game), a 'reverse swarm' is one creature (in the fiction) represented by multiple stat blocks. This would be for really huge creatures able to act independently in different places (multiple...

That's unfortunate. It's been more than 15 years, but I remember there being more demon lords (under the title "Horrors of the Abyss" I think?) than the four in the Scribd document, and I think Elder Evils as well?

Yeah, I think growths creating more growths which create more growths etc could get too crazy (and a pain to track). So nothing can be immune to two opposed elements, like both fire and ice? Is that an issue for some (e.g. space-dwelling) creatures that might need both? Or would they just be...

Thank you! Is that all there was, or is some permanently lost?

Is the old Dicefreaks epic material still available somewhere? My old bookmarks for it stopped working ages ago...

There's some odd things in Deities & Demigods, like the swapping of Loviatar and Kiputytto's spheres of influence. (In the Kalevala, Loviatar/Lowyatar is disease and Kiputtyto is pain. The OD&D Gods, Demi-gods, and Heroes book had it correct, but somehow it got transposed in D&DG.) Of course...

Ohhh, ok, so Pranic is more something for boss monsters to use against PCs rather than vice versa. I always felt like big monsters in 5e had too few hit points... one campaign I played in we were fighting things with 1000+ hp that would have been over defensive CR 30 by the official guidelines...

These are really cool! Two comments/questions: Pranic Energy seems dramatically weaker than the other types, reducing your own HP by double the extra damage you do. Yeah, I had the same question. This could get explosive...

That's a cool way to reconcile the LE D&D Tiamat with the mythological primal-chaos-waters Tiamat.

That's cool. Lets them survive and even make their homes in extreme environments, without complete invulnerability. So a fire god could have a palace filled with fire without being immune to the core of the sun or a supernova.

I definitely agree. So 1/2 as a fraction, but x2.5 as a decimal...

Huh, cool! I am not sure I understand "dimensions of consciousness", but I'm sure it will make sense in the book.

I wouldn't really see Orcus as an entity that would "assimilate" others. Kill and raise as undead, sure; consume other outsiders/spirit beings and gain Power Points; but not literally take the powers and nature of others into himself. He's a death & undeath (and chaos/evil) power, not one of...

Sounds cool! I don't know what an Outerverse is though. Hmm, so if the Far Realm is 5th dimension (when it was 7th in Ascension/Epic Bestiary) and Interdimensional Space is 6th (when it was Nth in Ascension/Epic Bestiary), have the Inner and Outer Planes stopped being dimensions? So it's like...
