    Immortals Index (Pantheons, Mythology Discussion)

    I would prefer to see Chronicle before the Bestiary 2, but maybe that's just me :confused:

    It's great! Hi all! UK, the book is really great, can't wait to see the rest of it (will page 14 & 15 be in the next update? :p ). Here is a little spreadsheet I put together this morning at work (what? Tomorrow is a national holiday here, so it's pretty calm today ;) ) to help calculate...

    Not receiving email from Gamestore

    Hello all! Apparently problem with the gamestore should be reported in this forum, so here I go: The publisher of a book I have purchased has sent out an email to all his customers, but I have not received it. This is not the first time it has happened, but I was hoping the first time was a...

    Doesn't that preclude very small pantheons? I'm thinking about having only 4 main deities in my campaign world, probably all greater gods, each representing one element, one concept (such as death, life, magic), one natural habitat (forest, sea,...), one race, one "civilization abstract trait"...

    Azrael..what ya think? scared? :) I am!!!

    Although I can agree with both your point of views regarding the concept of death being evil or good (or at least neutral), I have to agree with Dante that this specific personification is undoubtedly evil, just by looking at its abilities.

    I did not receive it either, so if you spend some time sending it again, I'd be grateful if you included my address in the mailing ;)

    An example of a Djinn (fallen cherubim)

    Maybe now that he has fallen and is Neutral Evil, this should be evil... Apart from that, the base creature being macro-fine and this one being medium, shouldn't the grapple check be different? Or do the virtual size categories modify the grapple check? I'm a bit fuzzy with those rules to be...

    Azrael..what ya think? scared? :) I am!!!

    Well, that's the reason to have monsters of this CR... So that at level 25, you're not THAT powerful compared to what lurks beyond the material plane. It all depends on the context: in Eberron, at level 25, you're a god among mortals; in Greyhawk, you're one of the most powerful beings on the...

    Azrael..what ya think? scared? :) I am!!!

    That's actually a very good question and a rather interesting idea for cosmic-level adventure(for those not familiar with Upper Krust work, cosmic-level is the term he uses for higher than high-epic). It could also have interesting repercussions on a low-level campaign: what happens to our...

    Immediate gratification can be good fun. I DMed my first 3e campaign a very short time after the three core books were released; armed only with my 2e Dragonlance box. The "campaign", if I can call it that, lasted 55 hours over 3 days with 2 players. Basically, it was a slugfest between the...

    Personnally, I like the new stat block format, but for the moment, I have only used it for low-level adventures, with lots of different monsters in the same encounter (Red Hand of Doom adventure), so it helped to have the information presented that way to make sure I would find quickly the...

    Maybe someone should threaten puppies, I think it worked the last time. :p I might do it, but my two puppies are too cute for me to put their life on the line ;)

    I'm usually among those who patiently wait for the book without chiming in very often, but I agree with Sledge: this teaser was MEAN ;)

    Immortals Handbook Epic Bestiary (now available)

    That would make sense though. Even when talking about low-rank deities, it would make more sense that a one who has been around for thousands of year would have gathered more followers than one who just gained divinity an hour ago... Even for no other reason that his mortal followers throughout...

    Damn, it must have been in my shopping cart, I actually bought the first version of the Bestiary through a direct paypal payment to you when you sold the preview... Oh well, that must be the jetlag at work. What can I say? Happy birthday UK, maybe? :confused:

    Oww, come on UK! I'm just back from holidays, I thought the first thing I would do when back woul be to download Ascension, and it's not out yet! ;) Anyway, you'll see a pre-order under my name... Hurry up! :) On a sidenote, I cannot access your website right now. Is it just me, or is the...

    Well, seen that way, Cosmic String is an awesome power. I like the idea of the enemy tied to the planes in a way that he is virtually undefeatable. A question though: what happens to the layer/plane/dimension when such a creature awakens? What happens when the creature really dies (because it...

    How would this be handled? That kind of defeats the usual D&D paradigm of a party of 4 heroes defeating an enemy more powerful than themselves...

    Hi there UK! Hope you've been doing well? I just wanted to chime in and say that even though I mainly lurk on the forums (I check it at least once a day), I am still eagerly awaiting the release of Ascension. You can thus count on another sale as soon as the first version of the book is out! ;)
