Hermes Trismegistos, a syncretism of the greek god Hermes and the egyptian Toth, was actually a god of magic and patron of "wizards" and alchemists. Hence the term "Hermetic magic"

Seconded. This story is a great read, and wonderful inspiration to me as a newbie to the Exalted setting

I personally think the best way to do this, from a mechanical fairness PoV, is to run 4e with all the +1/2 level bonuses dropped. High-level PCs will have more, and stronger, powers, and more HP, but they won't have much higher defenses or attacks than their lower-level compatriots. High-level...

The Hulk, in a direct convertion from the comics, would have to be homebrewed with some kind of shape-shifting and open-ended Rage powers. Pun-Pun certainly has nothing to do with it. As a conversion in spirit, I'd suggest a Troll Barbarian 20, possibly with some Hulking Hurler and/or War Hulk...

Oh, Mostin is perfectly sane ...within his own, unique perspective on reality.

Nice. But don't you think there should be some distinction among shields? Should cavalry shields, bucklers and tower shields all have the same statistics? And will you use any kind of NWP/skill system? Which one? I would, of course, love to join this PBEM, if you've got space. Unless...

Sorry for bugging out on you. I got daunted by the vastness of the task, started procrastinating, and then I had lots of RL stuff to do. Here is a start, anyway. All the upcoming statblocks were made by Kain Darkwind over at Dicefreaks, modified by me. (Switching out feats etc. to make them more...

Here, at long last, is Baalzebul. Getting him right took more time than the other two and the lesser devils combined. In the end, he's a kind of hybrid of the BoVD and Dicefreaks versions, with some of my own ideas thrown in. Baalzebul, the Lord of Lies --- CR 25 LE large outsider (lawful...

Oops. I guess that puts an end to that. My poor PCs. Well spotted. Edit: But really, is that limitation necessary? You pay a 4th level spell to do it after all. With that limitation in place, the spell seems almost worthless. What do people think?

In addition to the above, which I agree with completely (Jeff and pawsplay in particular give great advice), at high levels I've had significant success with Imbue With Spell Ability to bestow a pair of Divine Favor spells on party fighter-types.

No, no, no, no, no! My sympathy is 100% with Varsuuvius in this affair, but the conventions of story dictate that a choice like this can't possibly have good fallout. V's got the karmic Eumenides on his* tail now, for sure. And that's a bloody shame, because really, it's Raistlin all over again...

... Rrright. Metagnosis. I had naively assumed that there was at least a tradition of two, that Mostin's ideas were influenced by his mentor Vhorze and weren't entirely sui generis. But now it's all cleared up. (Hah!) And I did mean "Magic Items in the hands of the PCs", yes, but I assumed that...

I see that the amount of magic items in circulation in Wyre has increased significantly. Did Mostin craft these himself, take them from Grazz't's stores, or did you just loosen your restrictions on aquiring them? And what does "pulcilate" mean? And has Mostin changed his views on...

My version of the Toughness feat is as follows: You gain +1 hp, and +1 hp per HD. So 2 hp for level 1, and 1 for every HD thereafter. This is retroactive, and essentially means that your HD becomes one size bigger. I don't use Improved Toughness or allow Toughness to be taken repeatedly, but I...

So his Wizard spellcasting will stack with his ranger spellcasting? How does that work? (I assume that, because otherwise multiclassing to wizard for more slots is a very strange thing to do, since you'll mostly get 1st level slots, and a few 2nd level, and you incur MAD to boot.)

This version, I like pretty much without reservation, in the context of your house rules/campaign setting. Edit: Out of curiousity, what do you think the character who you made this revision for will end up looking like? In terms of classes, I mean.

From a strictly powergaming PoV, that's is true. But Nwm's had Weapon Focus: Quarterstaff since way back in the first post of this thread. He has clearly, as a point of character, trained to fight with staffs. (Interestingly, originally he had the TWF feat tree as well. I suppose that skill set...

Now, why are we suddenly getting all these stats for world-shaking and previously inscrutable entities? I think things are coming to a head. And now I want Mostin's and Ortwin's stats. Edit: I just noticed this. What conceivable reason is there for Nwm to have the Run feat? Anything he'd ever...

Hostile to Helpful: Diplomacy DC 50 Hostile to Fanatic: Diplomacy DC 150 Nwm: Diplomacy +53 Enitharmon: Diplomacy +197 The Adversary: Diplomacy unknown, but by inference, significantly superior to Enitharmon since he can convince celestial magnates to Fall. Thus my question. Sepulchrave, how...
