    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Previews/Discussion

    Thank you DungeonExplorer amigo! Fingers crossed the recover goes well. I made a slight mistake in my angelic listing, Evangels are the 8d Angels, not the Mazzarot. Not sure there are 9d angels specifically yet. Though the Eventuators (servants of the Akasic Records - 9D robots effectively)...

    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Previews/Discussion

    hey there buddy! I had eye surgery on Thursday. All went well. Vision still blurry as I type this though, so taking a few days off until I can work at the computer again. I suspect I will do eventually. In the short term I will likely have my revised Solar in the God Rules: Epic Heroes book...

    Qwex'Atal'Xiel'Sura, and other possible monsters/bits of fiction for the Immortal's Handbook (Just a concept, no stats yet.)

    That's awesome. I have streamlined things massively in God Rules, but very cool to see the Ascension parameters on display - certainly more in depth than the 5e version, but I think for usability the change is worth it.

    What Is Druaga?

    No reason why Tiamat cannot have lots of children. My current thinking is that Tiamat (A Primordial Chaos entity) either created or was split into four Aspects each with a different alignment: CN, CE, NE, LE and a different Purview (Fire, The Sea, Earth-Fertility and of course Dragons). These...

    What Is Druaga?

    As I hinted at I am planning on doing something extremely cool with Druaga in the future. However, in true Krusty style that will not see the light of day until Spring 2028 (at the earliest) as I have too many high-priority projects to attend to first. But assuming it all pans out it will be...

    What Is Druaga?

    I have a personal fondness for Druaga as he was probably the longest running Nemesis for my character Thrin for ages. Our group banished (defeated) him when we were quasi-deities, his Dragon riding Darksword Knights were the main foil for my Thrinian Knights, they even killed the King of...

    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Previews/Discussion

    Hey Arcanist amigo! Depends on what Challenge Rating you want and what alignment you want. I plan to detail 8 new factions in the God Rules: Epic Campaigns book who directly oppose immortals. Some oppose religions, some hunt gods, some challenge pantheons, some require multiple pantheons to...

    D&D General Gods, huh, what are they good for?

    I think that is simply a side effect of how poorly official 5e handles epic creatures (and for the same of argument let's say epic creatures means CR 20 or above). As is often cited the difference between Challenge Rating 1 and 10 is a lot greater than CR 21 and 30. Yet all the Demon Princes...

    D&D General Gods, huh, what are they good for?

    The weaker the God the more mankind can relate to it. The more powerful they become the more akin to forces of nature or cosmic phenomena they morph into. You could make a case that Elder Gods are the ones who left planetary concerns behind and went off into Space (or explore higher dimensions...

    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Previews/Discussion

    Apologies for not posting this already, the latest update has the Einheriar as a Divine Rank 1 Hero-deity Level 20 Champion Fighter. Worth noting there is a slight flaw in the Stat-block, the Einheriar should only have a +3 axe, not +4. Divine Rank 1 gets 3 Legendary Items of their choice but I...

    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Previews/Discussion

    Well I am sure the Classes all get their own unique features which should hypothetically make all Level 20 characters balanced. It does simplify all the scaling. i would not even consider that an exploit. Just a basic build. Which does give me slight pause for thought when we factor in...

    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Previews/Discussion

    Ahead of tomorrow's update, two minor mechanics I have been back and forth with (how to best implement): one is the ability to add extra attacks to characters via Divine Boons, the other is whether it not to change Action Surge or keep as is. For example, adding one extra attack is a +100%...

    Help for the Environment rules for a Black Hole 3.5E/PF1

    Just to update, gods in the new 5E book are not auto-immune to natural or cosmic phenomena this ruling is no longer needed because of Damage Threshold (base level = Hit Dice x0.3) which can negate or mitigate effects - especially when coupled with Resistances and Immunities. For example: An...

    GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Kickstarter Pre-Launch Page

    Hey Arcanist amigo! Cool. Well anything of a certain Challenge Rating could be catastrophic for a low magic planet - even the Tarrasque (my version at least). Cut off from interplanar trade suggests it wouldn't be a planar threat, so potentially an Earthly one: freed abomination (and...
