    D&D 5E (2014) Here's All The Loot In B&G's Vecna: Eve of Ruin Platinum Edition

    The Citadel Spider...having to squint a bit (so I might be missing something), but its Challenge Rating 18 (I think) yet deals a MEASLY 22 + 22 with its standard multi-attack!? Surely it should be doing at least triple that!? Edit: Had another look its actually 26 + 26 damage...so we are in big...

    D&D 5E (2024) How excited are you for the new 2024 edition d&d?

    Voted 4. I think the books are due a refresh, I don't like the 2014 books at all (though I do really like the system itself). Most interested in the new Monster Manual and the high level content.

    Dimensions vs Spheres

    Understandable. I was the other way around thankfully, although Wrath of the Immortals was pretty cool. The Gold Box is still iconic though I suppose.

    Dimensions vs Spheres

    The Immortals Set, while iconic, was by no means a good system. Wrath of the Immortals was an improvement, but both (IMO) were vastly inferior to simply using 1E Deities & Demigods + Manual of the Planes (+ World of Greyhawk deities section for Hero-deities & Quasi-deities; albeit the names make...

    Dimensions vs Spheres

    Well in my opinion, when in doubt, follow the mythology. Divine Children are immortal if both parents are immortal. Those with one mortal parent begin mortal, but will have higher stats representing their partial divinity.

    Dimensions vs Spheres

    Immortals can have children. So Immortals can be born Immortal. They do not need to be mortals who then gain immortality. It makes sense that some immortals might seek out worship and become "gods", while others do not and are seen as "anti-gods".

    Dimensions vs Spheres

    Apologies for the slow reply amigo, was on holiday for a week. Obviously I was aware of the BECMI classifications and to an extent I wanted to parallel that for consistency. Spirit is basically Energy by another name, one more suited to spiritual planes. As to the addition of Fate that was...

    Ideas, Questions, Mechanics and Discussions

    Technically Anomalies are meant to be Demiurge level threats because they are beings that can cause the destruction of a Universe...Though they don't one shot universes. While you can always make your own scaling up. I think in 5e I have: Experiments < Abominations < Chronophages < Entities <...

    5e Immortal Rules

    Hey cbwjm! No. Once you start extending classes you are on a very slippery slope. You can just about get away with it for 10 more levels, but then what have you accomplished? Are Thor and Odin (for example) capped at Level 30 (or mythic 10)? If they are that seems very underwhelming. If they...

    5e Immortal Rules

    Hey dave2008 amigo. The monsters are the easy bit. It's getting the rules balanced that is time consuming and tricky. Though I have a different name for it for these 5e rules. Will reveal that when the new website is done. Well I have a few ideas for epic adventures. One is an epic sandbox...

    5e Immortal Rules

    Hey there Shardstone! Without going into too much detail, the best way (I might even argue the only way) to handle Immortal tier play is with Templates. You don't want to fall into the 3e trap of extending levels indefinitely. I know a few sources do that up to Level 30, but it's just an epic...

    5e Immortal Rules

    Hey there Quartz. Haha! No need. My immortal rules add on top of your Core Levels, whichever you use. So it will work with any 5e adjacent variant and potentially other systems as well like Pathfinder...although it is being built to easily dovetail with 5e.

    5e Immortal Rules

    Hey there Yaarel. I outline 10 dimensions of consciousness. Astral (gods) vs Elemental (anti-gods/primordials) is only the third level of consciousness. Each level of consciousness has (at least) two diametrically opposed realms competing against each other but also each realm also has...

    5e Immortal Rules

    Hey dave2008 amigo! Should be ready in a few short months. I found a better solution where ability scores can go over 30, but the rate of increase slows dramatically after 30. I have 30 divine ranks on a scale where #6 represents Greater Gods like Zeus and Odin. Suffice to say with these...

    Immortals Handbook website back up

    Hey there Distracted DM! Hopefully not long before I get my 5e Immortal Rulebook finished. Shaping up nicely. But still at least 2 months more work. Will be worth it though. I'm not posting 5e content yet (until it's done). But should have a few cool things in the pipeline. Might have a...

    Things from my setting

    By the way, apologies guys for being AWOL on the forums most of the time. Spending my free time trying to finish these new books. All going good. More updates when I am a few weeks from the finish line. ;)

    Things from my setting

    Coincidentally enough, back in my 4E days I was planning a quartet of Quintessence Elementals, with each being linked to one of the core elements. Lets see how good my memory is... Divine Wind (yes Kamikaze) Holy Mountain ...had to look up the last two: Sacred Flame Blessed Waters I had...

    Way to stick a knife in a dead man's back. What a "hero" you are. You should be ashamed.

    Such a talent gone. That Deities & Demigods book literally changed my life. Thanks for everything Jim. Sincerest condolences to his family and friends. Rest in peace you Legend.
