    The Immortals Handbook

    You're welcome. I've found that the exact moment of Ascension is the one I'm less sure about. I know how my players will get down the road of godhood, I have a pretty good idea of what their first challenges as gods will be, but I have troubles imagining the exact moment of Ascension. What...

    The Immortals Handbook

    Hi there! An article I'd be eager to read would be how you handled Thrin's (and maybe other gods') ascension to godhood. Why and how did it happen? Another useful article would be about the differences between mortal/mortal interactions, mortal/god interactions, and god/god interactions.

    What is your favorite level to play as a DM?

    I selected everything from 9 and higher, since I like high-level play. I should note, however, that I always start my campaigns at level 1, and it is not unusual for them not to reach high level.

    The Immortals Handbook

    Well, I believe this is a problem of high-level play, not really of immortal gaming. Call me a freak, but I rather like the fact that there are so many ways to get a bonus to this or that... Knowing how to best prepare for a fight is half the fun of the fight, the second half being having one's...

    The Gates of Hell: Devils for Dicefreaks!

    Just so you know, the link in your sig leads to the chapter 1 pdf instead of leading to the downloads page... Great job, by the way, like most of the material in the forums (I often lurk there)

    Your FR Campaigns

    My lvl 7 group is in Cormyr, trying to help the Purple Dragons deal with a group of priests of Cyric who are trying to further destabilize the kingdom. To do that, they need to find them. They are trying to get the help of a priest of Bane, who should be able to tell them of the whereabouts of...

    Monte Cook's Solution to the 'Golf Bag' Syndrome

    I have the problem in my group :( They're trying to convince me to let them walk around with so many weapons that they couldn't even move if they tried. Instead of leading to them agreeing to have only two or three weapons, it has lead them to a) take a weapon with two types (eg a...

    Please Evaluate this Spell

    Adamantine shield? I agree that the name is a bit lousy, that seems to be an awafully complicated spell with such a name! But then, maybe the wizard has created other spells in the past that have a name sounding like this one...

    Half-Dragons. Do you used them? (And WotC's half-breed fetish)

    I whole heartedly agree with you on this one. Templates in general are a great way to add a "little something" to an NPC to either add an ability, counter a weakness (Half-troll/Half red dragon anyone?), or sipply make it different than the others... I don't allow templates for PC, except in...

    Funniest RPG typo ever?

    I read this one while reading the book, since then I've contemplated creating a black salad monster. I wonder how my players would react to a description of a 15 ft tall fearsome black salad! :)

    Have you ever used the 10-foot pole?

    Don't ever do that again when I'm drinking tea! :)

    The Immortals Handbook

    On his website, Mythusmage has a phpBB message board. The three options that you talked about earlier are two chatrooms (chatroom and PhpMyChat) and a bulletin board. However, you have not given the "model" of the bulletin board, so it's rather difficult to know off-hand what functions you...

    Experience points

    Please not that this replies comes from an action and fight oriented DM. Now that this is out of the way: At the time being, I only give monsters and traps XP. The character went to level 1 to 4 in two 8-hour sessions, and since then, it seems it takes them a session to level. However, the...

    You're right indeed, it's now a paying service. It must be quite some time since I had the use for one if I don't even know that! :p
