Okay, a whole new bunch of questions this time around (forgive me for not knowing that much about it since I don't have the Ascension beta): 1.) What is the guideline for setting market price modifiers for divine/cosmic/transcendental/omnific abilities as epic weapon special abilities...

Then why do dire tyrannosaurs and behemoth bears get more skill points and feats than regular tyrannosaurs and bears? Simply advancing a creature to twice its original hit dice would make it more powerful than a dire version, going by stats alone. Also, an advanced version of a creature would be...

Well the Odium IS a Malboro in a way, but it's got a lot of un-Malboro-y abilties too. I wanted an actual CR 15~ Malboro with its signature breath weapon and acid squirts, mainly so I can apply the Macrobe template to it and have a 5-mile high Malboro.

A few things I'd like to ask about the Bestiary: 1. What's the current PDF version of the Bestiary? I've got 1.5 and something is nagging me that there's a newer version. 2. Page 4 states that "1 ton = 2240 lbs.", but in nearly all monster entries you use the formula of "1 ton = 2000 lbs."...

I'd be fine with either, really, as long as it's balanced and consistent. If it makes sense that your party can only deal with lesser deities until they amass more power, then so be it. Since you've got 13:3 for 8:33 on the poll (I voted for 33 but now I wish I could retract that vote), it...

So in other words, we should we going for: HD = (ECL, Golden Rule, Silver Rule) * (2/3) = CR I'm still a bit unsure of the Golden Rule since it just gives a flat halving of all excess ECL, which means that an excess ECL of 20 will get halved just the same as an excess ECL of 300. Wasn't there...

Say, U_K, under v5 of your Challenge Rating PDF, what ratio of Total ECL Factor:Hit Dice should we be targeting for good monster design? What ratio of "Golden Rule'd, Silver Rule'd, 2/3 ECL" Final CR:Hit Dice should we be gunning for? How much has been updated from v5 to Grim Tales? I'm...

Wouldn't that make the Negative Energy Plane so much more important than the Positive Energy Plane then, and all of the other outer planes for that matter? Moses = Neutral Good Human Cleric 10 (with Planar Dismissal 4th level substitution from page 30 of the Planar Handbook) Prophet with...

Hmm, I see. I was originally going to suggest that a party of five demi-deities should stick to taking down lesser deities before taking on intermediates or greaters, but I still have to think this through. However, even if things were adjusted so that 8 Demi-deities = 1 Greater Deity, wouldn't...

The difference being that VSCs confer only partial size category bonuses/penalties. A Colossal creature wouldn't gain the AC/attack penalty, grapple modifier, hide modifier, and carrying capacity modifier that a Titanic creature would have gained. In addition, the Colossal creature is...

Your current Ascension DvR and HD minimums. I think I was able to figure out most of the DvRs myself except for the demiurges and eternals though. I have certainly changed my mind a bit from my first post in this thread, but I'd definitely still want interaction between these different divine...

Hmmm, is there any ability out there akin to "density manipulation", namely that it lets you alter the Strength score of yourself, your allies, or your opponents? I was looking for something Transcendental, but Cosmic or Divine work too.

I've got a few more questions I'd like to ask: 1.) What exactly is the difference between the Negative Energy Plane and Byss (Dimension Zero / Death Dimension)? I understand that the NEP is the Yin/Ob of Briah (Fifth Dimension / Inner Planes), so is Byss simply just that, only for the entire...

So then, the 96-foot cube would be a Colossal creature with +1 VSCs (your rules) or +2 VSCs (my calculations), as opposed to a Titanic creature (your rules) or Macro-Fine creature (my calculations)?

And what would the current HDs and DvRs look like? I'm strongly considering the 33 Demigods = 1 Greater Deity option, since I'd like to have the latter as simply that much more powerful, as opposed to possibly being defeated by eight wannabe pantheon leaders.

Say, U_K, do the divinity templates for sidereals still have a minimum size requirement? I recall reading near the start of this thread or so: "Elder Ones go by the esoteric name of daitya, which implies giant god, a reference to the fact their minimum size is restricted." If that requirement...

Well, the bestiary itself states: So yes, unless U_K has changed the rules regarding size category dimensions, a spherical creature with a 6-foot-diameter would be Large size, a 12-foot-diameter sphere would be Huge size, etc. However, I don't exactly agree with this due to the rule...

Edit: Removed. See below for my updated post.

I have a question regarding the Swallow Whole special attack's design guidelines: how exactly is the damage required to hack yourself out, the bludgeoning damage, and the acid damage calculated? The gizzard AC's not that hard to figure out since it's already listed down as [10 + 1/2 Natural...

I'm trying to figure out the divine rank of the various sidereal-level characters of the Touhouverse (such as Yukari and Flandre), but I need some more info on the ranks of the sidereals. All I know so far is that Elder Ones are the personifications of layers, Old Ones are the embodiments of...
