Quick fluff-related set of questions: When someone enters the Pleroma, Muzaloth, how big are they in comparison to the black dots that represent universes? Let's say a Medium-sized creature enters Muzaloth, how big would the dots be from his perspective assuming he's standing/floating right next...

But that only states that un-"natural" Strength increases don't increase your weight. A human that weighs 150 pounds at 10 Strength would still weigh 150 pounds with a Belt of Epic Strength +30, but the Bestiary says nothing about it not counting towards Virtual Size Categories.

I especially liked the matryoshka doll-style attack, which nearly had me in tears due to the sheer over-the-top epicness. From a galaxy-sized mecha, to a solar system-sized mecha, to a planet-sized mecha, etc. I wonder how that would work mechanically? I'm quite sure that your damage would be...

Seems fair enough. Wait, do Strength bonuses from items count towards base damage increases? I know the Bestiary states that muscle density doesn't increase with items that increase Strength, but it doesn't make it clear how Virtual Size categories apply to them. For example, if someone with 10...

Since I don't have Ascension, could anybody see what's the lowest divine rank you can get to 232 Strength at? Barbarian rage and size increases are fine, but no temporary boosts from spells. I'm trying to plan out my pantheon using the lowest possible benchmarks for each. Also, is there a...

I'm not sure, around the ECL +60 to +80 range (roughly intermediate deities) maybe? They do remind me of Akaliches with the incorporeality and motes of light though, so maybe a neutral version of them with a "light" theme would be a good start. Sadly, the creatures that were like that in Guild...

I'm requesting a "Zodiac" template that changes a the base creature into an incorporeal Fine swarm with the Outsider type, but retains the base creature's space and reach. I'm not sure what abilities to give them though. Uncanny Positive Energy Mastery, perhaps? I don't know what sort of special...

Aditi? The Lady of Pain would be her avatar, just as Sandalphon is the avatar of Metatron, right? But wouldn't that make them both Elder Ones, being avatars of First Ones? If it's 222 HD, should she be a DvR 32 Old One or a DvR 44 Old One? It's going to be hard setting her portfolios and...

So, U_K, have you decided on what you'll be doing with regards to the ECLs? It seems like either way, the current ECL values for each of the templates will have to be revised to keep in line with the EL system you already have (www.immortalshandbook.com/freestuff18.htm).

The Lady of Pain is the Old One of the Outlands, correct? What would her peg her HD at, and what would her portfolios be? Also, how would she stack up in terms of power against the other Old Ones?

On a serious note, what would be the ECL increase for a vorpal bite? Since an ability from a +1 weapon enhancement is ECL +0.2, I'm guessing ECL +1.0 for vorpal (+5 weapon enhancement)? Looking through many of the Monster Manual entries, bite damage is only +Strength bonus instead of +1.5x...

Alright, that's a valid point. An Elder One with Bard 20 / Cleric 20 / Druid 20 / Ranger 20 / Sorcerer 20 / Wizard 20 with a universal caster level of 144 is still nothing to be scoffed at. He shouldn't have any if he advances his classes evenly. Besides, if he starts out like that in...

Caster level is always equal to HD + Divine Rank, correct? So an Elder One with 140 class levels (NOT integrated) in Sorcerer would have a Caster Level of 164. What's stopping him from going Bard 20 / Cleric 20 / Druid 20 / Paladin 20 / Ranger 20 / Sorcerer 20 / Wizard 20 and getting a...

I got around to statting a rabbit and a modified Brobdingnagian Teratoid rabbit: EASTERN COTTONTAIL RABBIT (SYLVILAGUS FLORIDANUS) Tiny Animal Hit Dice: ½d8 (2 hp) Initiative: +4 Speed: 60 ft. (3 squares), burrow 5 ft. (soil) Armor Class: 16 (+2 size, +4 Dex), touch 16, flat-footed 12, Base...

Three questions about some particular weapon special abilities: 1.) Why is Universal Energy Blast so cheap at a +15 market price bonus for a total of +15d6 energy damage? A weapon with Acidic Blast, Fiery Blast, Icy Blast, Lightning Blast, and Sonic Blast would have a total of +30 market price...

Don't you mean Complete Mage for Rapid Metamagic? Well that feat should nicely solve my problem. For AMC, the wording of it (specifically, "stacks with existing metamagic deployment") makes it seem like spontaneous casters still need to increase the casting time of metamagic'ed spells to a...

Ah, I see. That's quite clever. Thanks for the idea.

I was looking for a way for Sorcerers to apply metamagic without increasing the casting time to a full-round action, because a 240 HD First One with 120 integrated Sorcerer Levels and Automatic Metamagic Capacity x150 would still have no way to Quicken his spells. The Metamagic Specialist...

Is there an epic feat in Ascension that lets Sorcerers and other spontaneous casters freely apply metamagic without having to up the casting time to a full-round action? Arcane Preparation (Complete Arcane) and Accelerate Metamagic (Races of the Dragon) aren't enough, I'm looking for a feat that...

Wouldn't there be no reason for a 280 HD First One to multiclass his integrated class levels to Bard 20 / Cleric 20 / Druid 20 / Paladin 20 / Ranger 20 / Sorcerer 20 / Wizard 20? With a universal caster level of 328 and access to seven spell lists, he'll be outright superior to a 280 HD First...
