    Waking Nightmare - sort of a Nightmare on Elm Street thing

    Two things I note: Unlimited range - Does the spell still require line of effect? If so, you still need to be in the same room as them. The save - This spell makes them fall comatose instantly, but they wake up if damaged. This is abusable if you have your allies coup de grace them. I would...

    Immortals Handbook - Grimoire (Artifacts, Epic Magic discussion)

    Sounds about right, but then a discrepancy emerges between widen/extend and empower/twin. What if there were epic metamagic feats for handleing epic magic the same way there are divine abilities for altering [Effects] and divine auras? Like a Transcendant Spell feat that made all your spells...

    Apostasy, via the way it is written, only grants a defensive effect. If anything checks for alignment, you are immune if you have apostasy. (IE Detect evil won't detect you even if you were evil, and a Word of Chaos spell won't harm a lawful deity with this power) It does not change you...

    Wow. Just. Wow. That, in a word, is Epic.

    How many hp in a block of stone? And what is its falling damage?

    Magic Missile cannot damage objects. SRD: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/magicMissile.htm - 2nd Paragraph, Last line. Also, 35k Wizards might be impossible on some worlds. Example: In a homebrew campaign I run, with dark-ages European population densities, and 1/10th the normal rate of...

    Well, painting digitally might be tricky and probably would require alot of experimentation with brush settings. (Though I am sure it can be done) What I was suggesting is that the individual parts that make up the image be painted separately, and then touched up in photoshop and re composited...

    Well, with photoshop, you can use 'layers' to paint individual things, like painting Surtur and his Heat Ray separately. Then you can touch them up without affecting the other layers, and layer them however you want. (Like if you decide the heat ray needs to be more transparent, you can adjust...

    Monster Request Thread!!!

    Yea, Algol isn't really star sized, but his Aura is. Could work for a plant monster. (Aura of entangle?) Algol just has a couple instances of the Enlarge Aura divine ability. (Doubles aura size, with double of a double equaling a quadrupling, meaning it doesn't take many applications to get the...

    Withering [Effect]

    I don't mind finding the Square root of one's HD when calculating effects, but it gets hairy when you think about negative levels, and the [Effect] Augmentations. (Does Telluric effect double the damage dealt each round, or the amount of HD I count as having?) 1/20th might be fine. I think the...

    Withering [Effect]

    The math would likely be fine (diminishing returns and all that at higher levels) but man, it seems a bit complicated. Some people just don't like to do math. I know my group wouldn't, though I don't have a problem with it.

    Spring Attack and AoO's from Reach

    Spring attack says that the movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity from the defender, so even if they have a reach weapon, there is no AoO from them. However, spring attack only prevents AoO's from the movement, nothing else. So If I ran up to an Ogre with Spring Attack, and punched...

    Immortals Handbook - Chronicle (Adventures, Campaigns Discussion)

    These Muhlatimic Dragons scare me. :) If you follow the bestiary progression, the HD for a Wyrmling is 1280! (And the great wyrm is a mere 1808HD, not that it would matter, these things would likely have Infinite HP anyway)

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    I think it is far too early to jump to conclusions about 4E. Unless any of us have inside information (fat chance) I doubt any of us can more than guess what 4E will be like. Judging from the leaked info from the Playtest groups, I can honestly say that I don't really have any expectations of 4E...

    NEW Immortals Handbook - Ascension thread

    The easiest way to configure this is, from my guess... Atomic [Storm] + Slipstream? (+ Forcefield too?) for about 12 divine slots (13 if you add forcefield for completeness) Unless you rule energy attacks are matter, this would likely burn up most conventional weaponry (Missiles, physical...

    Expecting an Ambush

    I don't think theres anything in the rules about suspecting an attack. IIRC, there used to be in 2E a rule that improved your initiative by 2 if you were. I think the easiest way to handle it would be if the PCs are suspecting an attack, and they have a good idea as to the nature of the attack...

    Reflect

    I seems strong; I like it, but it definitely needs clarifying. Also, the duration is a bit long; this spell would be best cast from a scroll - It lasts all day until needed, and caster level really doesn't matter, so a scroll of this is very potent. Perhaps lowering the duration to Minutes or...

    I don't think you would need to up their ECL, but let them know that the artifacts value is formulated on an assumption of 4, so having more than that will make you more powerful than your level would allow. Sort of a 'stealth level adjustment'. Another example: Bob the level 1 cleric finds...

    If you want PCs and NPCs to have 5+ artifacts, let 'em! Nothing says you cant just use the math and compensate for the increase in power for PCs decked out in artifacts. Example: Bob the Archpriest, a 20th level Prophet (rank 2) of <Generic Sun God> finds an ancient cache of artifacts relevent...
