    Vampires: Mathematics Proves WotC is (un)Dead wrong

    You realize, the sesame street Count stems from the Slavic believe that vampires have extreme cases of OCD and cannot pass by any group of objects without first counting how many there are. This is why they'd pour sawdust or pile up salt or sand... the vampire would be compelled to count each...

    Immortals Handbook - Epic Bestiary (Epic Monster Discussion)

    v5 of the appendix more accurately calculates ECL, not (WotC style) CR. The bestiary uses WotC style CR. Multiply the value given in the appendix by 2/3s to get this value. (Alternatively, use the ECL for the gibborim instead, multiplying the given CR by 3/2 if none is given)

    Immortals Handbook - ASCENSION

    High-epic, but low-cosmic. He's saying he's interested in epic, but not cosmic play. Which makes sense... get used to what the epic (low, mid, high epic levels) is like before blowing that away...

    Underwater Nets

    I guess we need stats for a new type of net. A dragnet or something of the sort. I can totally understand that a net designed to be folded and thrown through the air probably wouldn't be all that effective underwater.

    Flanking the Tiny

    Nono. Not "can the tiny creature flank" but "can the tiny creature BE flanked by someone it shares a space with, assuming someone else is five feet away". Pretty sure it can. Use the line test. This is assuming a person threatens their own square, which I'm pretty sure they do...

    (Epic Prestige Class) Sorcerer-King

    Tied to the land really seems like a major bummer altogether. "So, guys, I permanently spent ten levels of spell slots for this cool new ability!" "Yeah, so what can you do now?" "Well now, instead of attacking me, my enemies can attack my land instead!" "Well, at least your land is better...

    Immortals Handbook - ASCENSION

    I agree with Ltheb... lower that progression, or you make the whole story of a weaker party going up against a stronger foe... impossible (at least without abbrogate, and using abbrogate as the counter to EVERY broken thing just ain't right). As for a name... how about "Assurance"?

    HP vs. AC

    Esspecially at high levels. At high levels, a low AC means LOTS of power attack.

    What's the CR on a PC?

    The real Dragon CR is probably pretty close to 4/3 times the given value in just about all cases. This means that at low levels, the CR may only be off by 1, but at high levels, the CR is off by quite a bit. When it comes to CRs though... CR = ECL if the person in question has FULL gear in...

    Just let us know when you'd like a release (or part of a release) to be gone over with a fine tooth comb. We're cheap editors for the cost.

    Immortals Handbook - ASCENSION

    Can you create ammo with enhancement equivelent bonuses on it? Perhaps bonuses up to 1/4 your ECL (instead of the 1/2 artifacts allow) Can't comment unless I know what you're thinking... Sounds reasonable. For a mount, a sufficiently high ride check can usually do this anyway, but allowing...

    Immortals Handbook - Epic Bestiary (Epic Monster Discussion)

    For AC and Attack, that'd be far more easily represented by the "Supreme Weapon Focus" and "Undimensional" abilities... This'll make calculating CR much easier. 1 Transdimensional Ability, 1 Omnific ability. Now, that doesn't mean the firefly is a timelord (heck, it has a natural lifespan and...

    Immortals Handbook - Epic Bestiary (Epic Monster Discussion)

    Granted, the Dark Phoenix does consume an entire star... I'm not sure Galactus can do that? By the way. I've been thinking about how to stat out a particularly nasty monster from the "King's Blades" series by Dave Duncan, the Firefly, and thing that it would work well as a One Dimensional...

    Making a spellcasting Balor - help with CR

    I always look up U_K's ECL document (version 5) for this sort of thing. ECL +0.44/level of Integrated Sorcerer or Wizard spells ECL +0.38/level of Integrated Cleric spells (includes bonus Domain spells) ECL +0.28/level of Integrated Druid spells ECL +0.15/level of Integrated Bard spells CR =...

    Immortals Handbook - ASCENSION

    You know... the 3.0 Monster Manual II had the Phoenix in it, and the phoenix had a very interesting (and I think unique throughout all the various books) ability that allowed it to apply normal metamagic feats to its spell like abilities, with no other restriction other than it casts metamagic'd...

    Your Wow Moment

    Einstein once said, "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." I would hold to the latter, of course. And yes, a pill to stop a stroke like that is awesome.

    It's Banned Books Week

    And combined with pressure for sellers of such comic books not to sell anything with the seal... It was de-facto censorship for decades, bringing an art form that could have rapidly matured into literature into something that has been associated with little kids for a while now, and is only...

    It's not just great... it's PENULTIMATE!

    I'd always thought that "Decimate" meant "Reduce TO 10%" not "Reduce BY 10%" That's certainly more closely how it's actually used. If you have 100 men, and 90 are slaughtered, your forces have been decimated. If you have 100 men, and 10 are killed, then you're still pretty strong.

    What about a divine ability that would allow a sorcerer to swap out his spells known by using a spellbook?

    OotS 358

    Awww... I liked Yok-Yok. And wasn't Yok-Yok high level himself? How come he couldn't hand a mere half-dozen low level adventurers looking to pick a fight with a "mere kobold"... I mean, it wasn't as if Yok-Yok was a Warrior 1! For the Opposite thing to work out, Yok-Yok would have needed to...
