My divine slots were off a bit. (Not too bad though) As for feats... Epic level barbarian, in ELH gains 1 bonus feat/4 levels in addition to regular feats every 3 levels. None the less, it isn't too terribly hard to get a strength approaching Time-Lord level at greater god status. (Granted, the...

(Greater god, 5 more Hit dice than minimum) 18 - Base 21 - Stat-ups 192 - Divine Bonuses (Assuming 1:1 portfolio conversion) 64 - Portfolio Bonuses (From strength domain as currently written) Ruinous Rage Improved Grapple Legendary Wrestler Mighty Rage: +2 Str, +2 Con, -1 Ac while rageing. X47...

U_K! Hit points, eh? Well, when you first started ascension, and my gaming group was a bit more regular, I told you about that arena game. One of my players asked what might be good. I told him "Upper Krust's rules appear to grossly favor a very min-maxed fighter type in the long run."...

In the current game I DM for I use the alternate Xp charts in Unearthed Arcana. While said charts vex my players to no end, they make dealing out experience rewards much easier. 30 1st level fighters? thats approximately 9000 xp. It really takes the hassle out of figuring out encounter level. I...

Heh, it only bothers me that I got snowed in, and I have nothing to do. :) Once Ascension is finished (text-wise, not editing wise) I'll haul my old Pentium 2 out of the closet and throw my copy of Ascension (and probably Adobe 5) on a CD and just use that computer to do the editing. Don't...

Haha, yea right. Evidently my computer has decided February will be it's last months, and keeps shutting down anytime I do anything. I managed to get the first 2 pages of chapter 4 edited, (Most of what I got to was just grammar and such) but my computer just can't seem to handle 'notepad'. :(...

As a player - I prefer true resurrection. If it isn't available, I'll make a new character who fills whatever niche the party is lacking, and hopefully I can make one the DM can throw in easily. As a DM - I have to err on the side of common sense. If the players can get resurrected, undoing all...

Bah! I have no fear of half-sentient spineless masses of dung! The Canyon Mangrove crab, on the other hand...

Sounds good. Maybe keeping them at the current 'level' might be better; Demons and the like are villains, and villains typically cheat. (and usually this is the whole point of the adventure: Lolth escapes Demonweb pits onto material plane? Demogorgon splits into two beings? Jubilixus digests...

Why does it need so many powers? ~80 divine slots? 32 Hit dice?

Darn you, interweb! You bring nothing but useful information and a wealth of online-arguments. :) I'll check it out. :)

U_K! It might be a tad late for the February 10th/11th update, but a bit later tonight I plan to, if time permits, give Chapter 4, the powers section a good rundown. I'll post a .txt attachment with all the errors (mis-referenced prerequisites, etc) and questions regarding the powers (Like any...

The only problem I can see with this is that with the portfolios that give you [ability] drain/damage give you a whole lot of it, not only does it totally annihilate anyone. (Even if the attacked stat is their focus) but it ensures that those without divine bonuses are screwed. Perhaps weakening...

Thats a tough question. Mythology and legend are abound with monsters/spirits/etc. However, most of the 'common' ones have all ready been covered in the various monster manuals and other books. (or are just advanced versions of those...) The Kitsune(oriental mythology) are one such creature I...

It doesn't appear that you are tripling the bonus, rather cubing it. This will produce low end reasonable values, but the higher you go, the more exponentially ridiculous the prices you will get. Personally, I find it's simpler to either say: "Hey, its an epic item/artifact; It's priceless."...

It might not seem broken. Empowering fireball twice = Delay blast Fireball, but without the delay part (or the higher DC). The problem is the balance is not true for all spells. Scorching Ray, 2nd level, Empowered 3 times, becomes more powerful than Polar ray, by alot. (3 rays, each dealing...

Ahh, I see. Though with that method, you get some pretty strange interaction with spellcasters, since, despite there being a clear formula involved, Bonus spells are not based on ability score modifiers, but on the ability score itself. Not to mention other strange interactions. (Combat reflexes...

Wait, no, this couldn't possibly work... Why?.. Um... Because... Yes. Just Because. :) (Great idea :))

That sounds like it could work. It heavily penalizes really high level epic characters during the early divinity tiers, though. Ex: A 100th level fighter, who has say 30 Int. (needed for a feat) becoming a disciple of Strength, would suddenly lose 15 points of Intelligence! (and, thusly, the...

Could work. Heres an idea: What if the penalties didn't reduce attributes below 10? (So If I have 12 dexterity to start, and my portfolio says I get -20 dexterity, I am left with 10 dexterity.) Not the best choice, but perhaps by throwing it out there, it will inspire someone to come up with...
