    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    The 3.5 destinies don't seem all that customizable, although that doesn't mean the 4e ones won't be. If less customizing is the standard though, perhaps each portfolio... or at least group of portfolios should have it's own destiny. By group of portfolios, I mean you could have one destiny for...

    Pronounciation of Justiciar

    Shall I bring out the Zompist? Justiciar and Justicar can only really be pronounced one way each, using English rules. Depending on how it's spelled in 4e will determine how I pronounce it.

    Excerpts: Angels

    Okay, I'll admit that the phrase "Angels are mercenaries" is a bad choice of wording, and not at all how I -actually- imagine the situation to be. In my mind, as clearly reflected in the minds of others around here, it's more that angels have their own minds and willingly serve a god as it...

    D&D 4E 4E: What 3.x problem did it fix for you?

    1) Tactics in combat now exist. There used to be none. The game was entirely strategic, and when the battle began, it was all down to a combination of prior planning, and sheer luck. At low and high levels, this was also EXTREMELY fatal. In combat, there weren't many meaningful choices to...

    Excerpts: Angels

    I'm in favor. This allows the angels to be used in a wider variety of roles. You can still have your good holy nice angels fighting against demons. Pelor's angels are likely like this. But you can also have an evil priest summon an angel of death to slaughter an enemy's kingdom-- your own--...

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    Hm. Angels no longer being automatically good... perhaps a rethink / refactor of your angels are in order? We still need angels of higher stature, but their place in the world may need some changing.

    Warlove? Warhate?

    I'm in favor of the crunch, but the name... Yeah, I know, it's been discussed. I just wish they'd stayed with Marshal. "Lord" should be an earned rank, not something handed off at first level. Heck, I could see a "Lord" class as a paragon path easily. Just... not base. But it's been...

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    U_K, what do you think about the Tarrasque being an abomination in 4e? What do you think about the new Phane? I'm personally underwhelmed with its abilities, given that it can only slow foes, not actually send them elsewhere in time, freeze them in time, or elsewise. I'm also disappointed...

    Ending at level 21...

    I'll likely want to start at level 1 and work my way up, just to learn the rules better, but after that point, I'll be playing levels 21-50 pretty much exclusively. Yes, I did say to 50. Upper_Krust is already planning his next edition Immortal Handbook extension to allow players to play as gods.

    D&D 4E No d100 in 4e?

    I love my d30 and contrive to use it whenever possible. My d100 though? Not so much love. It's too lightweight and takes forever to stop rolling... it's like a hollow golf ball! Make that thing bigger and give it some heft and I'd love to use it more. 2d10 as a pseudo d100? Meh. I'd...

    The Monster Code

    I'm searching Upper_Krust's thread for details, but here's two posts he makes on HP calculation: http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=4066061&postcount=224 http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=4081845&postcount=238 Note, for those that don't know, Upper_Krust is interested in the math for...

    Custom divine abilities, portfolios, etc.

    Loks like Hollow Toughness is divine to me. Untouchable? I'm not sure, mostly because it's one of those things that is so good, I can't imagine not taking it. I'd guess Divine, but might need more prereqs.

    D&D 4E Megadungeon 4E?

    I've never run or really looked at the World's Largest Dungeon, but I was thinking... would it be the sort of thing that would lend itself well to a 4e conversion? From what I've heard about people talking about it, with comments like "Use a sorcerer instead of a wizard because there's not much...

    Where to place these figures in the divine scale?

    So, First One, possibly Demiurge if you stretched things a bit. Makes sense. The Forms would likely be around there too, I take it?

    Where to place these figures in the divine scale?

    I've been thinking about statting up some more religious/philosophical concepts, but I'm a little shaky as to where to put them. What I'm focusing on right now is the Judaic concept of WISDOM, as seen in Proverbs, and then Platonic Forms. Now, my confusion comes from this... abstract concepts...

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    So here's some interesting news on 4e... From "Ain't it Cool News" What do you think, Krusty?

    Immortals Handbook - Ascension Discussion

    I think it may be important to have the subtype of fire in addition to the benefits, because the subtype adds a weakness-- it's possible for certain clerics to turn/rebuke [elemental] subtype creatures, and if I were a level 100 cleric with such an ability, I'd feel gypped if I couldn't turn a...

    Why WILL you switch?

    I never had troubles with the 15 minute workday as usually depicted, in that, I know how to keep the pressure on my players. But that just ran me into another related problem. 3.x combat is balanced such that the first three encounters of the day are cakewalks, and the fourth is the only one...
