    D&D General The purpose of deity stats in D&D.

    Makes sense that there is an overlap in the Epic Tier and lower ranks of Divinity. But Demi-god as an Epic Destiny does not let a PC become, say, Zeus (for example). I enjoyed 4E (my Level 30 Ranger was part of a Party that slew Orcus). But I don't recall any mechanics that made the character...

    D&D General The purpose of deity stats in D&D.

    While I agree slaying a deity should not be easy and not be as simple as say reducing Orcus' CR 26 stat-block to 0 hp, the idea that only a deity can slay a deity seems like a solution for people disinterested in the idea of god-slaying to begin with, rather than a practical approach where all...

    D&D General The purpose of deity stats in D&D.

    No reason why Epic Spells could not impart Divinity; both on a temporary or permanent basis ( a la Karsus Avatar) depending upon the power of the spell. That said, I wouldn't consider Ascension via Epic Spell/Ritual to be the standard method. As regards playability, I think keeping everything...

    D&D General The purpose of deity stats in D&D.

    Well, sort of...of course lets not forget those brief seven paragraphs ended with... "...Naturally ascension to divinity effectively removes the character from the general campaign..." So it suggested a few vague pre-reqs for Ascension...that basically led to your character being retired...

    D&D General The purpose of deity stats in D&D.

    I think the biggest flaw (or missed opportunity) with having Deity stats in D&D is that, with the exception of the Gold Box & Wrath of the Immortals, for the past 5 Editions D&D never had rules for PCs ascending to divinity. So the problem with 1e AD&D and 3rd Edition was that your had rules...

    Immortals Handbook website back up

    Website seems to be up now, so what I did earlier this morning must have fixed it. I have noticed the image links are broken. Not sure if it has been that way for a while or if that's something recent?

    Immortals Handbook website back up

    Apologies for the additional delay. I can view the immortalshandbook website in my Squarespace panel (so its all there), we just had some cross communication with how I link it to the .com. I'd like to say that's it fixed now, but I am currently seeing a "your connection is not private" warning...

    Immortals Handbook website back up

    I got the website thing sorted. As of 19:30 GMT Monday 18th November. Squarespace are telling me it will take 24-72 hours for the changes to update. So sometime over the next 1-3 days it should be back up. 🤞

    Squarespace I mean. I have emailed them. Hopefully get a reply by tomorrow.

    Immortals Handbook website back up

    Will try to add the latest CR version here.

    Immortals Handbook website back up

    Howdy thelibraryghost! Only just saw it. I switched to Squaresoft hosting (for the new website). Thought should be hosting the old website too. Will look into it today. Thanks for the heads up. There is a thread in this forum with the free v.5 download (AFAIK). Uncanny Dodge would be...

    Orcus and Cthulhu

    Slight aside, for those that have the recent Immortals Handbook Ascension 2023 update I did add a double page spread of C'thor'lu wielding Moon-jolnir on pages 44-45 of the book. Unfortunately, I messed up the double page layout on that illustration and his face is buried in the spine of the...

    Orcus and Cthulhu

    Sorry amigo. I hate teasing stuff like this. It will be worth the wait though.

    Orcus and Cthulhu

    Lots changed since the early version of Orcus you saw earlier this year. Much better.

    Orcus and Cthulhu

    As dave2008 mentioned those characters are not copyrightable. That said I do have some in the book that are copyrightable...except I changed the names...although only two at the last count. I annoyingly had to cut 5 npc's to hard lock the book at 400 pages. Obviously anything cut will appear in...

    Orcus and Cthulhu

    Weird plug (with apologies), but both are stat'ed out in the Appendices of the new 5E Player's Guide (as sample characters) and there is something in the 5E Epic Bestiary (you'll know it when you see it) that would make the perfect Gestalt-form. But can't spoil that surprise...its too good...

    God Rules: Players Guide (5e)

    I hope people will like it. I think Hit Point totals are less on average because d20 Hit Dice and Maximum HP are not standard issue. It didn't make sense for existing immortal beings (like Orcus) to use one set of rules and my immortals to use another. Plus I also wanted Warrior gods to have...

    God Rules: Players Guide (5e)

    It's a 'scaler's' term (YouTube "Outerversal" and there will be dozens of videos). It's used for versus battles. Unfortunately they often use potential hyperbole as evidence and they end up with skewed results like "Dr Strange is Outerversal". Then again, such stories are rarely consistent. I...

    D&D 5E (2024) Damage Threshold, the new "need a magic weapon"?

    5e Magic Resistance has the ability to render single target spells extremely ineffective. Immunities exist in the game too, such as "immune to damage from normal weapons". Damage Threshold 10 (to still use that example of a CR 10 Stone Golem) would likely require a fighter dealing 1d8+6 to...
