I'm getting really annoyed at how the Nullification cosmic ability effectively makes casters useless due to the loss of metamagic feats and Automatic Metamagic Capacities, makes monks capable of dealing only subdual damage and makes them provoke an AoO upon every attack due to the loss of...

What about immortals with no real "race" (not necessarily subtype), so to speak? All of the angels in the Epic Bestiary and all of the demon lords have no real "race", so how is their size determined? What makes a malakim Huge, and what makes a kyriotates Gargantuan, for example? When making an...

Then again, it potentially grants a huge increase in hit points for construct and undead deities. I've always thought that the Ersatz and Undeath divine abilities penalized you rather than benefited you, because the loss of bonus hit points is a real blow to your hit point total. Consider that a...

I've got three more sets of questions, one of which is a question that I'm asking again: 1a.) How is the base size of an immortal determined? 1b.) Does you really just pick any size category that the immortal qualifies for, as per Table 1-3 on page 4 of the Epic Bestiary? For instance, an...

Divine or cosmic? HOLLOW TOUGHNESS (EX) Your force of personality physically fortifies your being. Prerequisites: No Constitution score. Benefit: Your Charisma modifier replaces your Constitution modifier to determine bonus hit points, thus letting you receive bonus hit points from your Hit...

Deleted. Please see my post below.

I do have to say that the book seems much more like something meant for the regulars of the forum, rather than a product for casual D&D players that want some immortal-level gameplay. U_K's reply to my question about Abrogate implies that it's randomly selected if you don't know the abilities...

If you weren't a regular in this forum, and you were reading the description of Abrogate, how would you know... that the ability is randomly selected if you don't have something like Psychometry? That it doesn't subsequently nullify abilities if prerequisites cannot be met? That it doesn't...

How are readers supposed to know how Abrogate works if they're not avid readers of this forum then? Anyway, if that's the case, then I suppose I can stick to simple spelling and grammar fixes, along with fixes if they only take up one extra sentences. Abrogate was just the ability that needed...

I'd be willing to do an entire revision of the Abilities chapter for free. I've got a text file of the entire chapter that I can edit with Notepad and spellcheck with Microsoft Word, so I can fix up the entire thing. I've got a good feel of how WotC writes feat descriptions, so I can make the...

I thought that movement speeds could not be negated, since those are technically not "abilities" in a creature's statblock at all? Of course, if the tank's movement speed came from an artifact, epic feat (Sky Walker), or a divine ability (Abnormality [Wings]), then I can see Abrogate working on...

I've got a quick question about the Slipstream cosmic ability. "If you are within the area of a time stop spell then you gain access to the additional rounds," is what part of its description says. What counts as the area of a time stop spell? Perhaps Slipstream should say "If an ally or enemy...

I suppose we can just go with the "You get a number of divine ability slots equal to your divine rank" idea then, as much as I'm reluctant to accept it. Anyway, I've got a few questions about the ability negation abilities: the Abrogate cosmic ability (negates an enemy's most powerful ability)...

Hmm, I still say that "For each artifact you forego, you receive an amount of feat slots equal to 1/2 your ECL, which may then be converted into divine ability slots using the standard 1:6 tradeoff ratio," would be more accurate than "For each artifact you forego, you receive a number of divine...

On a different note, I noticed that disciples, prophets, and hero-deities may not be able to take epic feats just because they don't have 21+ HD, even though they already have divine ability slots. Should disciples, prophets, and hero-deities be able to select epic feats, provided that they can...

It should be in page 61 of this old 3.0 FAQ: www.wizards.com/dnd/files/MainFAQv06272003.zip Now that I'm looking at it again, it only has an effectively instantaneous duration for the purposes of the Persistent Spell feat, so its duration is still 1d4+1 rounds for all other purposes. You're right.

There's a large chunk of free space in page 162, in the Psionics Appendix. You could rename the appendix the "Psionics and Revised Spells Appendix", and use the free space on page 162 for fixes and nerfs to spells and powers. For instance, I would remedy certain spells and powers as so: •...

There's your post, U_K. By the way, where does it say that the wish/miracle portfolio SLAs cost you 5,000 quintessence whenever you use them? And isn't that chump change for lesser deities and above?

The healing function of wish and reality revision do make Iatric [Effect] a much less attractive choice though. And if an immortal takes the Alter Reality cosmic ability as an esoteric ability, he can use a quickened wish at will, letting him restore himself to full hp at the start of his turn...

Wish or Miracle as a spell-like ability is indeed very powerful. It removes the need for any sort of healing ability (no need for Iatric [Effect] any more) with its healing function, and with its item creation function, you can make yourself a +9999 enhancement bonus item for free because the xp...
