What if he has 1,000 attacks per round, though? :p

Same to you, U_K (though, it's 5 hours early for me. ;)). And I think I can speak for all of your 3.5 fans with a "thank you" for this very thread. A present most appreciated.

Says you! :p

I think that was more of a place-holder. I imagine it was easier to just copy a preliminary stat-block (like Surtur's, before it was completed) than to retype the thing for each entry. Oh, and thanks a lot U_K. :)

Ooh, ooh, I have a question. Metatron. What did you have planned for him? He's been the figure I've been most interested in since I first got the Bestiary.

I could live with those numbers. Though, really, if you tried to pit a wizard from each setting against each other, they'd both be something of an out-of-context problem for each other.

The problem is really the disparity in the magic systems. Think about what an epic, or even 17th level wizard is capable of (genesis, time stop, etherealness, clone, foresight, greater celerity, gate, shapechange, astral projection, greater teleport, greater scrying...) I'm not terribly...

Alas, what might have been...

I think that's true, in a thematic sense as well. The ultimate specimen of a race should probably average more than ECL 40ish. I know in my setting, paragons tended to end in the 80ish range, often having imbalanced ECL/HD thanks to Paragon only accounting for part of their ECL. Hence, me rather...

I like that a lot, Mr. Satan. It fits with the Amidah really well.

U_K, I don't know if I'm alone in this, but... I don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about, here. Is this a new idea? I really don't remember ever hearing anything like that, before.

*Wants to laugh, but fears crying may be more appropriate.*

That would depend on how you personally stat up such entities and abilities for use. When merging systems, things like that are always going to come up. You just have to adjudicate on a case-by-case basis. I mean, to interact, everyone has to be using some variant of the same mechanical system...

Also, DN won't shut down any non-divine Supernatural Abilities, you need Numinous or Dead Zone for that.

Not really. A party of 2 40th level fighters, and 2 40th level rogues, built using only Core and the IH: A, would easily defeat this thing. Its AC and HP are low, so it'll be easy to drop, and its to hit is lower enough to be an auto-miss at that level. Worse, in a low-magic setting, a...

There is no way this thing is CR 40. Minus the inflated DCs, it's about 25, I'd say. Really, though, its HD are just out of alignment for an epic threat. 1 Blasphemy, and it dies.

Laptop for the win! :p

Cool, thanks for the info. :) I'll probably be getting the PDF version, since 1.) my hard copy of the Bestiary fell apart from overuse :p and 2.) I don't have to climb out of bed to check on entry in a pdf. :p Can't wait, though.

U_K, one more question if you don't mind. Is it safe to assume that once you release the Vampire Bestiary, we'll be able to approximate these templates for 3E more in line with how yourself would have done them? (I assume that's why you're hesitant to provide examples of powers, too.) Speaking...

I assume "ritual" is just a name for a type of ability, rather than description of how they work? Because, having a First One (to continue the example) need to go through some of kind process (i.e. require some kind of conscious input of effort beyond simply willing something to happen) just to...
