G'day U_K! Overall, the character sheets look great. Some thoughts - note that where I mention things of interest, I don't expect you to explain these things necessarily! One, not both. Even if not for space reasons, it makes more sense to have one one version in the book. I don't have a...

In GoH, we kept the differences but gave the Lords of the Nine increased cosmic rank (effectively divine rank) while on their own layer. That allowed the politics to still play out. I agree that you can't simply have differences in divine rank and expect the more powerful Lords not to simply...

Well, when you release the book I can respond to that with my own thoughts... :ROFLMAO:

Damage Threshold for Asmodeus might still be the answer - a 90HD Asmodeus ignores 27 points of damage per round, and while Stygia is cold it isn't 5d6 per round (maximized) cold. (I have no idea where U_K would put Asmodeus' HD, so using the approximate HD from Gates of Hell instead.) U_K, the...

I suppose that Damage Threshold covers some of those situations - U_K, assuming no immunity, I presume resistance first, then Damage Threshold? And where immunities exist, you can't have a resistance to the opposite? So if space deals 3d6 fire and 3d6 cold each round (call it average 10 for...

Do you mean "the damage increases by the target's Damage Threshold multiplier x100" or "the damage increases by the target's Damage Threshold multiplier"? Standard damage threshold multiplier = 0.3, i.e. 30%. Multiplied by 100 = 30, i.e. 3,000%. Would recommend a worked example when you...

On Mutagenic damage, I read the question as dealing with the secondary Mutagenic damage caused by the growths in each following round. Assume Super Handsome Dude gets hit with a single target use of Mutagenic damage as you specify above, dealing 1000 damage. A "hostile mass of sentient tumorous...

Twenty years ago, I did some extended analysis and playtesting for epic play after we (Dicefreaks) had released Gates of Hell. I remember the feeling of frustration I felt as I recognized the utter reliance at epic levels that players had on the "Christmas Tree" effect - a surfeit of magic items...

Design choices can require trade-offs. If the priority is consistency, you would make the choice one way, whereas if the priority is clarity, another. My view is that clarity trumps consistency when explaining how a thing works. Consistency trumps clarity for a stat block but would rely on...
