A golem with built-in weaponry has 2x natural attack damage and +10% CR, correct? So a neutronium golem with drills for its arms would deal 61,440d10+246 (average 338,166) damage and would have a Challenge Rating of 10,693 (disregarding the fiasco of its original CR)? Is this a drill that will...

Well, you don't see any published Outsiders with any integrated levels other than those of spellcasting classes, do you? So a DvR 48 First One with 240 Outsider HD and 120 integrated sorcerer levels would have Caster Level 288. How about if he "multiclasses" and takes 60 integrated sorcerer...

I was talking about integrated sorcerer levels, not actual sorcerer levels. Having 30 integrated sorcerer levels with caster level 60 is just the same as having 60 integrated sorcerer levels with caster level 60. Since bonus epic feats are included in integrated levels, it's still better to have...

Is there any particular reason why not? Does this include the bonus feats for epic levels? Additionally, for integrated spellcaster levels, Caster Level is equivalent to HD, so a 60 HD Outsider could have the spellcasting abilities of a 30th level Sorcerer but would have Caster Level 60...

When trying to determine the divine rank equivalent of a character from a non-comic and non-RPG source, should we assign a rank based what the character should be able to do in-game or what the character should be able to do plot-wise? For example, Galactus is an Old One in your system...

Do integrated sorcerer/wizard levels come with the familiar? Also, are bonus feats included with integrated class levels? So would a 40 HD outsider with 20 integrated wizard levels gain Scribe Scroll and 4 other bonus feats? Or would a 40 HD outsider with 20 integrated fighter levels gain 11...

What's the current rule in Ascension for adding monster HD instead of class levels? Adding, say, Dragon or Outsider HD will give you full BAB and save progression instead of epic BAB and epic save progression. Sure, you'll get less class features and feats (and by extension esoteric abilities)...

How feasible is it to create a monster by taking a human immortal and piling on Abnormalities and such? Once Ascension comes out, I'm thinking of statting up O.R.T. from Type-MOON as the elder one of the planet Mercury (he is Type-MERCURY after all), but I can't think of any existing monster...

How do weapons from higher Progress Levels work within the artifact system? For example, let's say I wanted an immortal to dual-wield a pair of Smith & Wesson Model 500s (2d8 base damage in d20 Modern). They would be forged from orichalcum and fire orichalcum bullets, and since orichalcum...

Would bonus feats be allowed for the purpose of trading in feats for divine abilities? For example, a DvR 48 First One Human Fighter 240 would have a total of 203 feats: 1 (human) + 1 (first level) + 80 (standard feat progression) + 11 (non-epic fighter bonus feats) + 110 (epic fighter bonus...

I just realized that the Small Unelemental is a CR 10 creature that has 2 melee touch attacks that each deal 2d8+3 (average 12) PERMANENT damage. Don't you think that's a bit unfair for a party of four ECL 10 characters who will not likely have Limited Wish, let alone Wish?

So just to be on the safe side, should Strike damage be multiplied by 4 and then spread out across all attacks? So a 120 HD Elder One with Perfect Cosmic Strike would have a damage allowance of +120d20. If he had only four attacks, he'd get +30d20 to each one. If he had twelve attacks from...

Couple more questions: 1.) Looking through the Surtur preview, it seems that the full Cosmic Strike damage can be applied to all attacks in a full attack action. Does that mean a 120 HD Elder One with Perfect Cosmic Strike and Perfect Three-Weapon Fighting can add 30d20 divine damage to each...

Deleted.

I was well aware of the Dragon Shaman class, but there are several things about it that don't suit what I'm looking for. It has d10 HD, 3/4 BAB, 2 good saves, 2 + Int skill points, a 1d4 round delay breath weapon, and a bunch of non-breath-related abilities. Same goes for the Dragonfire Adept...

I'm working on a custom class that revolves around an "at will" breath weapon, roughly basing it off the Draconomicon's metabreath feats and using v5 of the Challenge Rating PDF as a balance guideline. In v5, the calculations assume that breath weapons normally have a 1d4 round delay. Those...

I thought Kardashev Type V (PL 14) made a civilization equivalent to a time lord? I got that from the website though (www.immortalshandbook.com/freestuff1.htm), and that chart is somewhat messed up. According to that table, Earth (a PL 5 civilization) is only Kardashev 0.5, when Earth should...

Huh? Force damage has always worked like energy damage with regards to Damage Reduction, in that force effects bypass DR completely just like energy damage would. Magic Missiles never have to go through DR, and neither should other sources of force damage. Or are you proposing a new rule for...

Hmmmm... what would be the minimum Progress Level/point on the Kardashev Scale of a tiny civilization (one that only inhabits a small planet roughly the size of Earth's moon) capable of mass-producing Planck bombs (devices that cause Planck temperatures and in effect, a big bang capable of...

Couple of questions: 1.) What advantage does divine damage have over force damage, such that it warrants a lower damage die (d3 divine = d4 force)? Force damage actually has more advantages over divine damage that I can think of: no resistances or immunities (except against force dragons)...
