    Immortals Handbook - Ascension Discussion

    I don't think there is a list of Meta-Empiric powers. (I could be wrong) I think its just a hypothetical upper tier of powers beyond play. Example Meta-empyrical power: Uncanny Akashic Mastery. (Akashic Effect taken 6 times) This lets you just flat out demote gods. Repeatedly. At this point, one...

    Owning Land, Borrowing Money, Creating Businesses

    If you are looking for these things in the core rules, you (unfortunately) will not find them. D&D was not built to handle an economy. Look at the rules for buying and selling; theres no way you can make money. (Since everything costs the same amount everywhere, and when you sell something you...

    Immortals Handbook - Ascension Discussion

    Looks good, although in Irony, I found one (hopefully)last copy-paste error - Transcendent Effect - the power itself (not the table entry) has the same description as Writhing Effect. (It talks about foes writhing in agony) Other then that, I didn't spot anything that really stood out. You may...

    Yes, if the intent was to allow the deity to heal up via this ability in rounds where they are not taking damage, then this use of regeneration does not work. (Fast healing would, however) Regeneration has two main effects: 1. It converts all* damage taken to Non-Lethal while you have it...

    Immortals Handbook - Ascension Discussion

    Ok, here's what I saw after skimming through the portfolios. Charity (Prophet) (Single/Double): Divine Custodian - What exactly does this mean, and how does it work? It sounds neat but is vague. Death (Greater Deity) (Single/Double): Negative Energy Absorption - Not all negative energy...

    The Transient Ability Ultimate Weapon Specialization has the same descriptive text as Ultimate power attack (Your blows are impossibly powerful), and yet, does nothing to even make your blows powerful... Perhaps they should have slightly different descriptive texts:) The Cosmic Power Chimerical...

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    Well, I'd say writing adventures is probably the hardest part; I know some DMs (like myself) who just glance over an adventure, and only run the bare bones of it. (When I ran H6 in 3E, It was more or less H6, but I just converted what I wanted to use and scrapped the rest, like most of the...

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    100 monsters is a lot; especially if you don't reuse any. Even reusing fodder monsters, Like Ghouls, (or for a slightly more high level game, demiliches:)) You would still need 4 monsters of each tier at least. But I don't think we will know until we see the books. It might be that monsters are...

    deity rank?

    Bah, I'm not getting into that old argument. I just used The Lady as an example of the upper end of a 1-20 scale. As to her true rank, I have no idea; I am not very knowledgeable in planescape. But yea, Alzrius is spot on.

    deity rank?

    Deity ranking is basically used to provide a hierarchy of power. Since Deities in D&D are generally abstract in terms of stats, Rank just is an indication of where they fall. A rank 1 deity would be like Hercules. A rank 20 god would be pretty much omnipotent, like The Lady of Pain. In some...

    I don't thing either of those two defenses cancel out Ultimate Weapon Focus. Thelemic Damage Induction makes you impervious to attacks. They hit, but do nothing. So UWF doesn't really interact. (Except to make it at least gives you a chance to win if the foe happens to also have other defenses)...

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    I've been throwing together a lot of gritty, low magic/high realism type systems for my low level campaigns to try out, and one thing that I find fine is the idea of Con only adding to HP once. This means that HP scales linearly, as should damage. Ergo, the power curve will remain relatively...

    Immortals Handbook - Ascension Discussion

    +6 Divine abilities would be an appropriate trade maybe for both your portfolios at demi-deity status... Ascension has guidelines in the beginning of the portfolio chapter about how much of a LA a portfolio has. Extra Portfolio is a cosmic ability, and while it may grant another portfolio, that...

    So, It basically means one can see, with perfect clarity, any distance, provided there are no obstructions or distortions. (Like Earth's Atmosphere, dark matter in space, etc)

    As far as I can tell, you will always recover, unless recovery is actually impossible. Annihilating effect or Omega effect both seem like possible ways to defeat Transmortality; As I don't think merely rejuvenating will restore their losses. Ergo, drain their HP/HD down to 0, and they would be...

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    While I hope this will happen, I don't think it is designed like that. I believe (From what I have read) that Solo Monsters, for example, just have more actions then everyone else. (Like more free-action abilities and the like) The Solo Encounter dragon they described seemed to have half a dozen...

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    Honestly the horsemen don't really seem like demons, devils, daemons, or angels. (To me) They seem more like unique entities. Their generally evil motives fit well with daemons, but shifting them to one of the other three camps puts a spin on their role in the universe.

    Well, the dagger is an off hand weapon, and his main one has a bit more enhancement than special abilities. Plus with a perfect Unholy Strike, 15d8 damage each hit is rough. Plus, unless I up the PCs 20 levels or so before the confrontation, a single round of his sneak attack will kill any one...

    Well, he was capable of +42 weapons, and with his surprisingly high strength, ability to summon minions with which to flank with and score his 30d6 sneak attack, and his Uncanny Force and Unholy Mastery, Timestealer, Learned Spell Immunity, and Exclusivity powers, I felt really bad for the...
