Hey hey, UK! Oooh... look out, it's the punisher! But seriously, what's the loss here? Gravitic aura still comes into play, so the NG's slam damage doesn't have to crack planets in twain, does it? Especially not since, if once gives planet's a hit point total, they'd suffer from Gravitic Aura...

Well, they create waves... so you either continually duct-tape on more rules to compensate (and end up with a very messy end product) or you scrap them, reducing them to optional variants with a clause about how they complicate damage versus hit points at the Sidereal+ level.

Intersting point, LS, but NO!!! No duct-taping!! If the system keeps proving to be inaccurate, go back to the root of the problem and see what's going on... ...ah, there we are. Virtual Size Categories. Ditch that, and damage falls back into a safer place, you won't need hit point multipliers...

It should be the same cover as Gods & Monsters. Hint. Hint.

Ah well. Fortune favors the brave. Good luck with the illustrations; how is G&M coming along? How is Version 6? Will we actually see v6 before Bestiary III? That would be very welcome.

Update on Friday. (note the lack of a question mark.) :)

Well, is there ever a time when the silver rule shouldn't be applied? If the answer to this is 'yes', then leave feat = .2 ECL; if 'no', then drop it to feat = .166 ECL.

I'd just drop the idea here and now, since "synergistic portfolios" will be similar in theme and execution anyway, so it'll be like having a nice suite of powers that work well together without the fuss of compound mechanics.

Hey hey, UK. None taken; I had an easy time working with v4, but v5 began to contradict some of that and now... well... Okay. Now, is this using the Balor's CR (of 20, IIRC), or ECL (of 30)? I'm gonna go ahead and assume that this doesn't necessarily account for the fact that fighting...

Okay, my questions are as follows, and I preface this by saying it's very spout-offy, and that I intend to offend no one: What does any of this actually matter? EL tables based on a number of enemies of the same CR seems about as useful as udders on a bull, since most encounters of multiple...

I'd prohibit the same effect from stacking without using Telluric Effect, for sanity's sake. Also, when to Portfolios are synergistic, such as Death and Entropy, does that mean that similar portfolio powers are 'stacked'? With the aforementioned portfolios, would Uncanny Negative Energy...

Do multiple Rotting [Effects] stack, like in the case of being in the area of a Rotting Storm, or being struck multiple times by an entity with Rotting Strike?

Seriously. What revealed this error? I've never been good at interpreting your EL rules, so... damn... get that Version 6 up and running, mate.

Remember to fix Withering [Effect]. I'd suggest dropping it from 1/2 to 1/4 or even 1/6. Also, is Diseased [Effect] supposed to be as powerful as it is? I mean, it's technically twice as strong as Withering, with the exception that a heal will take care of it; still, given the power of it, it's...

I just don't see HP being the be-all-end-all defining line of power in a game of such a level. There are so many other options, as stated previously, that HP is just another number... even if it's really high.

You might want to double check; my copy still has "ability modifier" for the bonus. Can't wait. Understandable; your content is great, but I can see how trying to standardize things can be like trying to cover variously-sized walls with the same amount of paint. Too much trouble at this...

Hi, UK, Will the Body/Mind/Soul/Spirit abilities be revised? Will we see more detailed instructions for how to arrange ability scores (so as to prevent negative ability scores via the template penalties), or will that element be changed at all? I like the new ability score tables. ;) I'll...

Can't wait, UK. Hopefully we see some Worship Through Fear?

...hypocrisy and sycophancy....

So UK, Gonna have an update for us today? I'm going to work until oh... 6:30 PM EST, so when I get home... there'd better be a full text version of IH waiting here for me to download, know what I mean? Just a reminder, this version (2.2) will be the EIGHTEENTH UPDATE, so uh... don't...
