    Atatas

    I actually hadn't posted in like 6 months, but I'll probably be around more now. On the other hand, I just got Skyrim and I'm not sure I have ownership of my soul at the moment... I can probably help out, though. It's a shame my own setting is so different than the standard IH setting; I...

    Immortals Handbook: Where's "Godsend?"

    Okay, I see. Forgive me, like I said, I've been away from DnD for a pretty long while. Those do boost him up quite a bit over Sandalphon. I have a personal habit of ditching artifacts for more divine abilities a lot of the time, and if I'd done him I think I would have went down a similar route...

    Immortals Handbook: Where's "Godsend?"

    Your explanation makes a lot of sense. Keep in mind, I'm way out of practice, haven't used the IH in at least a year. One thing I wanted to clear up, what I said about his artifacts, I meant that I think they should still be basically the same, just *better* at what they do, or have some...

    Immortals Handbook: Where's "Godsend?"

    Hey, if you don't mind me saying so, I think your Metatron is fairly underpowered for his station. I just pulled up one of my own First Ones to compare (who is only CR 374) and she was substantially stronger (which is a bit of an understatement). I think the problem lies in copying Sandalphon's...

    4th Edition and the Immortals Handbook

    I'm probably wrong, but it seems to me that U_K sees 3.5 similarly to how I see the Lord of the Rings movies -- I'll normally indulge people in pointing out the flaws in them, but the whole time I want to explode with RAGEHATESCREAMKILLBLOODFORTHEBLOODGOD! just from thinking about them. :p

    Ascension ability questions

    He's asking if you can take Weapon Focus (touch attacks) or (ranged touch attacks) and the answers is yes, even in core 3.5.

    Ascension ability questions

    I want to say yes. I think a template will specify if it stacks, but I'm not 100% on that one.

    Ascension ability questions

    1.) Sounds good to me. 2.) Arch Mage has it a class ability, sounds fine as an epic feat if it isn't one already. 3.) Yes, you take the highest.

    Vampire Bestiary

    Yeah, I know. I was saying if you were going to go to the trouble to adapt to PF, there's a lot more work that could be done, even just in clarifying definitions and such. Oh, well, the way it is, we all get to adapt it to our own tastes. :p

    Vampire Bestiary

    I vote for 3.5 over Pathfinder, as all your other material is 3.5, U_K (as adapted to your system). I don't see any reason to overhaul the mechanics unless you're rereleasing both books to be compatible with Pathfinder, as well. And lets be honest, if you were to rerelease Ascension, there's a...

    Artifact rules.

    This took me a while to figure out way back (for some reason, it seems blindingly obvious now) but it's really pretty simple. Think of it like this: a deity (or any character, really) has a set portion of their ECL (1/3 if you're going by the book) allotted for equipment, conventionally in the...

    Artifact rules.

    Close, but not quite. +6/+36/+216/+1200 (1272 if you want to be technical). The logic is that a feat is 1/6th of a divine ability (see Cryptomnesia among other things), and feat is worth +1 on a weapon (see Mighty Cleaving), therefore it proceeds that a divine ability on a weapon is +6, and...

    Any Malazan fans here?

    I read up to book 11 in WoT, but I've been out of touch with it for maybe 4 or 5 years now. I'm not really confident enough in my recollection of the characters and their feats to do stats on them. Not to mention, I'd be hard pressed to figure out exactly how to make stats for the One Power and...

    Any Malazan fans here?

    Oh, no problem. They're from a black metal band called Bal-Sagoth, a band with a definite Immortals Handbook feel to their lyrics. Those are from a song called The Thirteen Cryptical Prophecies of Mu, which... isn't about Ys, it's about Mu. :p I'm not sure Byron has ever written about the...

    Any Malazan fans here?

    No, I never have, actually. I'll have to look into it (after the Crippled God is released and I've utterly devoured it, of course. :devil:)

    If YOU were a god?

    Speaking of which, just to clarify, for my sacrifice of "self" I don't mean anything direct as suicide. More abstract and intrinsic things like joy or humanity, though I suppose in my "religion" the sacrifice of one's existence would be the ultimate sacrament. I assume the standard Entropy...

    Ascension ability questions

    Keep in mind, Eduar, CR is based on a party of 4. If one Greater Deity (ECL 160) kills another (ECL 160) in single combat, it's effectively (if I remember correctly) a CR 160 encounter.

    Khorvanis, the Omega Watch

    Oh, that's easy. He's unable to create new worlds (and unlike the normal sort of Time Lord, the universe he rules over is actually the body of the Supreme Being Avinion was once part of). So, when Creation finally succumbs and all returns to nothingness, Avinion will have lost his long...
