    The Gods of Bal-Sagoth

    The Shadow-King, the brooding and enigmatic ruler of ancient Lemuria, last of the Immortals of Ultima Thule. Little is known about the long years of his reign over that aeon-veiled realm of shadowed grandeur. During the marble island’s last days, the Shadow-King stove against the diseased...

    The Gods of Bal-Sagoth

    Hey U_K, Yeah, that's probably a good idea. Also, I have to apologize for how obnoxious those first stats are; this new EnWorld coding is pretty much beyond me. It ran some odd javascript that interacted with MSWord when I uploaded it and messed it awfully. Hopefully I can figure out what...

    The Gods of Bal-Sagoth

    Who knows? That would be so awesome though. I'm not sure how you'd get their email address. It could be on their site and I know they have a mypsace, so maybe there. I would imagine that Byron (the mastermind behind the stories) is a DnD fan based on his other hobbies and interests, so maybe.

    The Gods of Bal-Sagoth

    Angsaar, the Dark Liege of Chaos, was a the result of hideously-failed genetic experimentation by the First Ones, the Mera, in attempt to replicate the genetic template of the cosmic deity Zuranthus. From this abomination was spawned the sidereal pariah, Zurra, an insane and raving demigod...

    The Gods of Bal-Sagoth

    Bal-Sagoth is a Symphonic Black Metal band from great Brittain, and they're lyrics are pretty much the reason I bought the Immortals Handbook. They literally sing about battles between entities that normal DnD cannot even begin to justify with stats. This is a project I've wanted to get...

    Artifact and ECL rules question

    Actually, I take back saying that Immortal spellcasters are weak. I just realized that 6 Automatic Metamagic Capacity feats allow them to Persist every spell with a duration, making ALL of their buff spells last all day.

    Artifact and ECL rules question

    I had another question, U_K, if you don't mind answering. (Figured I'd ask it here rather than making a whole new thread) Is it just me, or do casters get absolutely devalued in Ascension? I mean, once Alter Reality starts getting thrown around it seems like they lose their main advantage...

    Artifact and ECL rules question

    I think that pretty much clears it up. It makes a whole lot more sense now. Thanks a ton, U_K.

    Artifact and ECL rules question

    Okay, I have both the Bestiary I and Ascension and I've read them both cover to cover several times. I don't know if I somehow missed this, but, let's say I'm making a 60 HD Intermediate Deity just flat out of the Ascension rules, outsider HD to avoid complications. My ECL is apparently...

    Paragon Revision Discussion Thread

    The only problem I have with this, (and its a problem I have with every Immortals template so far) is the level adjustment. Even considering the massive bonuses, I just don't understand how this is better than 60 character levels. I mean, I could be wrong, but it seems to me like a Paragon...

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    U_K, now, I may just not comprehend your goals for 4e IH, but under your new system (under which I do recall Time Lords won't be available as PCs) isn't the small level gap conducive to Time Lords being dethroned by cabals of First Ones on a regular basis? Or are levels in 4e Immortal play so...

    Immortals Handbook - Godsend

    Hey! Do not recall your falcons before the hunt is done! We don't KNOW that it'll be magnificent yet... of course, since this is U_K we're dealing with, maybe that's an exception. There does tend to be just a small bit of divinity in his ideas. Oh, and a question for U_K. Are there going to...

    Immortals Handbook - Godsend

    While I'm immensely grateful for Godsend, and for you giving the consideration to your 3ed fans to even do that much, I think I'll still be purchasing your products, U_K. If converting back to 3.5 is as easy as you say it is then I'll happily do so to use them in my 3.5 games. Or, who knows...

    Custom divine abilities, portfolios, etc.

    I think it would work better that way too since the doubling charisma bonus seemed a little confusing at first glance, though I see now, after thinking about it for a while, that it would effectively balance. I think my way is easier though. For the second part, do you mean like allowing the...

    Custom divine abilities, portfolios, etc.

    That could work I guess. I was also thinking of limiting that to a number of equivelent spell levels of shapes/essences = to Charisma bonus. I don't know if that would work or not since they're so low level. On a similar note, does anyone think Immortal Warlocks need new Shape/Essence...

    Challenging Challenge Ratings...again

    Well, I won't give up hope, UK. Your new material for 4E might actually be enough to make me want to play it, since my biggest gripe right now with the system is that it can't support my divine/cosmic/sidereal level campaign setting.

    Challenging Challenge Ratings...again

    You mean August 2009, right? :D I, personally, would be more than willing to wait that long if it meant we got more of your 3.5 work. So sa that you're abandoning it. I'll never get to see the Antimatter Golem now. :( (Or the Black Hole Dragon, or the Cimerial, or any of the Umbrals) :(...

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    Perhaps call them Deicides instead of Godslayers? Same effect but a little more esoteric/evocative I think.

    Well, if I knew what a Dragonfire Adept was I would have accounted for it :D

    Custom divine abilities, portfolios, etc.

    Okay, carrying this over from the other thread. Below are some Immortal Warlock abilties I worked up. These are just a first draft, so let me know which ones need to be changed. I was having trouble thinking of fitting prerequsiites too, so suggestions there would also be helpful. I focused only...
