BRAGI Lesser Deity Age: 1,100+ years Alignment: Chaotic Good Allies: Norse Pantheon Enemies: Undead Home Plane: Asgard (?) Nemesis: Unknown Pantheon: Norse Portfolios: Knowledge, Music Quintessence: 1,500,000 Relatives: Unknown A tall, slender man dressed in green and gold; he bears a...

I was looking back through my old D&D notes from several computers ago, and found some fairly complete IH-based material... Skath, Eldjotunn (20 HD Fire Giant Hero-deity, Integrated Levels Fighter 10) Size/Type: Large Outsider (Extraplanar) Hit Dice: 20d8+220 (380 hp) Initiative: +16...

Cool! Is this modified from the athas.org writeup? I think the Dark Sun advanced being transformations (defiler -> dragon, preserver -> avangion, cleric -> elemental, druid -> spirit of the land) are incredibly cool, but yeah, some aspects of them as originally written are pretty impractical...

Oh, it was definitely intentional - not intervening directly in the Prime spelled out early in both the Immortals Set and Wrath of the Immortals (though what counts as 'direct' is a bit different in the two*) as the primary rule of Immortal society. The reason why is (in-world perspective)...

1983 sounds right. The Mentzer Classic D&D sets (Basic/Expert/Companion/Masters/Immortals) and follow ups (Gazetteers, Rules Cyclopedia, Wrath of the Immortals, etc).

Yes, that's true. What I was trying to get at is: In IH, you can have an Immortal of the Material Plane. In BECMI, you can't. And the only IH Dimension that doesn't match a BECMI Sphere is the Material Plane one. So the Immortals of the Material Plane are "missing" from the BECMI cosmology...

So I was thinking about the BECMi Immortals cosmology and how Immortals are divided into five Spheres: Matter, Time, Thought, Energy, Entropy. These match exactly with four of the six IH lower dimensions (Entropy, Time, Matter, Thought) and the fifth is close (Energy ~ Spirit). So is the sixth...

That would make sense. That first encounter in the thread actually does kind of have the quality that some AI-generated content has where each individual sentence is grammatical and coherent, but the whole piece lacks larger-scale coherence (why doesn't the nymph wake the guy up herself?)...

I found another incomplete Sidereal in my notes, and tried to fill it out completely (again, this may have errors due to my loss of familiarity with 3.x - I've been playing/running 5e for almost a decade now). This was a lot of work and math. Not sure I'm going to do anything else like this...

And here's an atempt to fill out the above (there may be errors, due to how long it's been since I seriously did stuff with 3.x)... Aspect of Xochipactli - Greater Deity Equivalent (40 Integrated Barbarian Levels) Huge Outsider (Chaos, Extraplanar) Hit Dice: 80d20 + 2,080 (3,680 hp; 7,360 hp...

Eh, I didn't mean "inside" in a normal 3-D sense. I was thinking more how a Demiurge or Time Lord 'is' an universe -- Xochipactli is a Demiurge, though an unusual one that's also an Anomaly. So her manifestation might appear to have galaxies swirling within it/beneath her transcendental hide...

I found a bunch more stuff in old notes. Does anyone want to see it, and if so, should I put it on this thread or start a new one?

Which is Devil's Tower, Wyoming.

Eldila seems to be the general term for basically what we'd call (created) spirits, good or evil ("dark eldila"); it's hinted that what we'd call angels are a special sub-category tasked to deal with the fallen Earth and its evils. Oyarsa is specifically one who governs a planet; it's a title...

I thought Ascension gives them greater deity (Entity) or first one (Anomaly) equivalence? I know way back in 2009 I thought I was "breaking the rules" to give an Anomaly Demiurge-equivalence and a +64 bonus.

It seems to me that each "level" of abomination-types are really kind of closer to the level below. Abominations (proper) are quasi-deity equivalent and suitable foes for a party of epic mortals (or hero-deities, etc.) Entities, while they're sidereal abominations, are actually greater deity...

A First One would, but Xochipactli is a Demiurge (Stage 1). So her Aspect is Greater Deity, and her Avatar, if it existed (IIRC I had her having one at least in the past), would be Old One level. Cipactli is the First One. (Yes, the names are much too similar & confusing. Sorry. I think ...

Here's what little I have for the Aspect of Xochipactli: Aspect of Xochipactli (Greater Deity) Size/Type: Huge Outsider Hit Dice: 80d20+ ( hp) Initiative: +22 (Always first) Speed: 120 ft. Alignment: Chaotic neutral Quintessence: 100,000,000 Divine Bonus: +16 Portfolio Traits: Disease...

It's in the linked blog post, not this thread. (It says "WTF Game Adventure" instead of "Basic Game Adventure".)

Sure! This is 14 or 15 years old, and I haven't rechecked most of the math, but here it is... Cipactli Size/Type: Colossal Outsider (Extraplanar) Hit Dice: 240d100 x8 + 14400 (206400 hp) Initiative: Always first (+48) Speed: 6710 ft. (1342 squares) Armor Class: 362 (-16 size, +40 Dex, +240...
