    Immortals Handbook - Epic Bestiary (Epic Monster Discussion)

    There's no way this is a CR5! Just by looking at it, I'd say it should be no higher than 2, if that...

    Immortals Handbook - Grimoire (Artifacts, Epic Magic discussion)

    Why shouldn't you be able to afford a +10 weapon or armor by level 20? As I always understood it, core D&D 3.x was built to go up to level 20 and those items (+10 weapons or armors) are core, so should be attainable by the highest level characters. Otherwise, why put them in if no one should...

    NEW Immortals Handbook - Ascension thread

    I actually don't mind the fact that Ascension was on sale before being finished or even that it's not finished yet. I prefer that he takes his time and makes it worthwhile. Furthermore, seeing the book take shape actually brought some ideas that I may not have had if I had only seen the current...

    NEW Immortals Handbook - Ascension thread

    Probably not much, who would bet against Craig missing one? :p Even if it only comes tomorrow, it will be three days earlier than his usual 10 days between updates, so fine by me! :D However I really think that for Grimoire, it would be better if he did not give any timeframe and work at...

    Challenging Challenge Ratings...again

    I tend to agree with Pssthpok on this subject. Also, something else that bothers me is that I am never sure when I read Ascension and when you mention CR, whether you mean WotC CR or UK CR. I hope we get to see version 6 and the explanation on the website pretty soon so that we can actually...

    NEW Immortals Handbook - Ascension thread

    I agree here. By giving negative modifiers to ability scores, you actually penalize players who have built their characters around two (supposedly) opposed characteristic: a fighter/mage, for example, is a staple of elves in D&D, and such a character depending on the way it was played, could go...

    Immortals Handbook - Grimoire (Artifacts, Epic Magic discussion)

    Just thought I'd point out that Kerrick is speaking about a +5 sword with the keen and holy abilities (+3 market modifier), for a total modifier of +8, becoming a +6 sword with the keen and holy abilities (+3 modifier), for a total modifier of +9. I think it is not that easy to know the price...

    Future Maps

    I won't make it long because I know the thread was not created for discussion but for the request, but I'd just like to point out that man, I'd love to have a DM like you. Heck, I'd love to have time to prepare as much as you do before running an adventure.

    Immortals Handbook - Grimoire (Artifacts, Epic Magic discussion)

    It is also in the DMG, in the chapter about creating characters about first level. I can't check page numbers right now since I'm at work, but I wondered about this last week end and that's where I found this ruling.

    And anything new regarding the missing pages between p13 and p20?

    Immortals Handbook - ASCENSION

    Seeing that a timelord needs 1,000,000,000,000,000 Quintessence and that an event with a rating of 240 can only affect 5,000,000,000 people and that no event can generate more WP than the total population affected, without even taking into account that it is already far above what a CR 51 wizard...

    Immortals Handbook - ASCENSION

    Hi there Frobojoe! I'm using wealth values as in the version 4 of UK's Challenging Challenge Rating documents, that's how I came up with those numbers. Basically, it states that PC wealth = level³*100, NPC wealth = level³*25. While I don't know yet whether this level of wealth is appropriate...

    Immortals Handbook - ASCENSION

    Hello! I am designing a one-shot adventure for this week-end for a group of level 50 to do some playtest of UK's rule, and I would like some input from you regarding treasure: - A level 50 character has wealth equal to 50*50*50*100=12.500.000 gp. - A level 51 has 13.265.100gp - That means...

    ECL of dragons

    Thanks guys, basically, it's what I thought... Nothing official. Thanks for the details too Fieari, I had already looked at UK's numbers (though I only have version 4, where did you get version 5?). My problem, though, is the same with the WotC system and UK's system. When you look at the ECL...

    ECL of dragons

    Hello all! Is there any place where I can find the ECL of dragons above the values given in the Monster Manual (where they only as far as very young or young usually)? Thanks!

    Immortals Handbook - Grimoire (Artifacts, Epic Magic discussion)

    Well, I don't know the reason for the whole rpg world, or even the underlying reasons in my case, but in my campaign, the reason is real simple: the players. At the moment, the group of three 19th-level characters (they're now level 20 :p ) are chasing the three lieutenants of the BBEG. The...

    Immortals Handbook - ASCENSION

    Ltheb Silverfrond posted something in the Grimoire thread that got me thinking, but I moved the post here since I believe this thread is more appropriate: With the even system as it is, wouldn't a god of adventurers (such as Tymora in the FR, who has adventurers in her portfolio) be able to...

    Immortals Index (Pantheons, Mythology Discussion)

    I'm less expecting the adventures than the rules on creating a divine realm. Knowing my players, I probably need this more than the rules to actually play the deity... It took them two whole gaming sessions to create the map and description of the castlethey plan to have built for them (they...
