    Here's to the Immortal's Handbook!

    Well, for me, U_K's rules were so great that I never needed another set of rules, hence not following him to 4E. :p I only ever ran two games with them, and neither lasted more than a single session, but they remain two of the most memorable experiences our group had. Notable moments include a...

    A Tournament of Cosmic Propotions! (Immortal's Handbook Rules)

    So, is the VSC subject closed? I don't remember the issues ever being addressed.

    A Tournament of Cosmic Propotions! (Immortal's Handbook Rules)

    Well, I don't really have much of an opinion either way on the matter, I just like that we're using the Cimeriel template in the first place. ;) I suppose wait and see what Neo says. And I like your idea in concept. I'm not sure or not whether I like the suggested implementation, as I have a...

    A Tournament of Cosmic Propotions! (Immortal's Handbook Rules)

    EMG, that doesn't make much sense, because Lord of Steel, which grants Cimeriel, is a Cosmic Ability, while the Lord of Shadows ability that grants Akalich is (an undercosted?) Transcendental ability, putting Cimeriel on the same tier as Demilich, which comes from the Cosmic Lord of the Skull.

    Yeah, high level golems are basically made out of virtual size categories...

    A Tournament of Cosmic Propotions! (Immortal's Handbook Rules)

    Okay, for Gathroc. If that's Masker's Weapon Master you're using, I'd suggest posting the class to make sure Neo is okay with. Also, I believe Buugi used the old 3.0 weapon master in one of his builds, which may cause some issues. Other than that, aside from the points Buugi mentioned, I think...

    A Tournament of Cosmic Propotions! (Immortal's Handbook Rules)

    Is Mythical from Lord_Masker's Weapon Master class? I think I have a copy of that lying around somewhere if you need it. And, I'll take a look at your guy, and brainstorm some deathknight stuff tomorrow.

    A Tournament of Cosmic Propotions! (Immortal's Handbook Rules)

    Well, under the basic 3.5 system I could possibly see allowing them to stack, but for our purposes here, I don't think that would serve the point of balance -- threat ranges already get really high, and the way you can convert abilities into item bonuses, I don't feel like it would even be in...

    A Tournament of Cosmic Propotions! (Immortal's Handbook Rules)

    I probably should have re-read those more closely before suggesting them, all those problems you mention are rather obvious at glance. Sorry about that. The one part I did like was the variable reduction in multiplier, but as you say, I don't think it really works. I imagine it would unbalance...

    A Tournament of Cosmic Propotions! (Immortal's Handbook Rules)

    About critical hits: In all honesty, we should probably be using the rules U_K has up on his website. I feel like they would be a lot more interesting and fun to play with, rather than dealing with such a stark contrast the way immunity currently works. That said, I never got around to...

    A Tournament of Cosmic Propotions! (Immortal's Handbook Rules)

    I will just note that Upper_Krust's intention, at least near the end of his 3.5 years, was to allow non-epic BaB to continue into epic, as evidenced by the revised classes on his website. When I brought the issue of said divine ability to his attention, I believe he suggested ditching it and...

    A Tournament of Cosmic Propotions! (Immortal's Handbook Rules)

    From what I can see, Neo, there isn't anything glaringly wrong with her. With iaijutsu, her damage is going to be high, but not beyond what the tournament is already boasting. Epic spellcasting is always a trump card, though. With that insane initiative, though, she might pull off some 1-round...

    I give you... the INFINITAUR!

    I know I considered that. I might have ruled that it was too far out of line, even for the the infinitaur, since, yeah, it would interact with whirlwind attack the way you describe. It does seem like it would be fitting, though.

    I give you... the INFINITAUR!

    o_O I could swear I wrote that down. Hmm... *reverse engineers* Looks like +456. In all honesty, he's probably too weak. He simply lacks options to deal with the sort of out-of-context problems that Eternals can throw at him to get around his transmortality. He's very much designed as a...

    I give you... the INFINITAUR!

    I don't actually have its backstory, since it's Upper_Krust's idea originally. Maybe he can give us some further insight. I do like his idea for the appearance, though, that's pretty badass. Oh, and I forgot to specify the weapon somehow. I envision it using a trident, not sure what UK had in...

    I give you... the INFINITAUR!

    Perhaps a set Quintessence sacrifice would read more elegantly... will look into that.

    I give you... the INFINITAUR!

    Had a sudden inspiration to try and capture this beast. From what I can gather from Ascension and U_K's old ramblings on the subject, it's meant to be an Anomaly that kills sidereals and eternals, so I tried to do that justice, without making it as mind-numbingly overpowered as time lords tend...

    Yeah, I'll send him something tomorrow. Until then.

    A Tournament of Cosmic Propotions! (Immortal's Handbook Rules)

    Eh... I don't exactly hang out there anymore, don't really feel comfortable going back to try and reconnect with people, if you don't mind. I'm the three of us can come up with something suitable if we put our minds to it. I'll see what I can think of tomorrow after I get some sleep.

    A Tournament of Cosmic Propotions! (Immortal's Handbook Rules)

    How do you get 15? The SRD says CR +6, Lich is CR +2, CR 8 is ECL 12, making it two cosmics exactly. Which is still twice as powerful as it ought to be, though, I wonder if the template is even worth that boost... Anyway, I always that the "You get X template" abilities were kind of dumb...
