Alas. But, then, I'm sure it would all have been very complicated. :p Even still, though, with the mutability of abilities, it's hard to see a way you couldn't convert any existing artifact's ability into a divine (or higher) ability, even if it took some work. And this is all very...

I couldn't care less about the edition war you guys seem to be sparking, but I do have some comments on a few of the points raised. I never took the 4 artifact limit to be anything more than a suggestion, personally. I've always just used an ECL pool for equipment, applying it to as many or few...

I don't have it. What was in it, a sample from Gods and Monsters?

Actually, the Dicefreaks vampire can drain blood from a distance, too, with the salient Pillage of Blood ability. Oh, and you should probably give them both Unholy Toughness, to add Cha to HP instead of Con. Also, maybe a scaling Profane bonus similar to a Divine bonus based on the Cha or...

Honestly? I think the ability bonuses are out of sync with the abilities from the template. I mean, they're contributing most of the ECL/CR increase, which is kind of boring. I'd rather they have more unique, interesting power. Are you familiar with the Dicefreaks tiered vampire template? They...

Yeah, I'm almost positive 3.1 is the version I have. And I have to say, the text of Force Field in it contains nowhere near the detail that Mr. Satan is ascribing to it. As far as I can see, it's just a damage soak; no real mechanics behind it. And I should probably clarify that my Force Field...

I'm confused. Either my version of Ascension is out of date, or yours is, because...that entire post seems like totally new information to me, and I have my copy of Ascension almost memorized. (And I'm pretty sure there wasn't an update after I bought it...maybe, though.) Also, I've always...

Also, Betrayor, in the same vein, you could check this thread for epic prestige classes for mortals that can compete with Immortals of the same level, at least for a while (past level 100 or so they slide off in power). Specifically, my Battle Ascendant and Godslayer, and Real Sorcerer's Arcanite.

I know you're probably looking for an official answer from U_K, but for what it's worth, my personal "fix" for VSCs has been to double the required strength needed for one every ten VSCs. So, you'd get the first 10 VSCs for every 15 points over average; the next 10 VSCs for every 30 points...

Well, I'm just saying Vorpal cuts off the head, which quite a few creatures who *aren't* otherwise immune to crits are immune to. When you're dealing with internal anatomy...not so much. Still, I doubt it would be too broken to leave it at +5 for symmetry's sake.

I honestly think there should be some kind of limit on VSCs, personally. They just get hideously broken in the upper tiers. One of the things I entertained was, at a certain point, doubling the amount of strength needed to earn one. I never decided what a good cut-off was though. Maybe 10, since...

^See Unearthly Weapon Specialization. Or are you looking for an excuse to get a vorpal attack on 100% of your attacks? If that's the case, why not just make a Trans. that says you instantly kill anything that isn't immune to crits? (And yes, that's overpowered, but...at that point, most melees...

I think I gave one of my barbarian-based Sidereals a rage equal to double his Divine Rank. It seemed appropriate, though I'm not sure as a Divine or Cosmic. (it had more factors than the standard rage, so it was definitely Cosmic).

...it sounds like you care more about this issue than anyone else here. I can't imagine anyone here wants to burn U_K at the stake, considering a.) he's one of the nicest people in the world (or at least that I've ever met) and b.) I'd imagine most of us consider him as something of a friend...

The only other thing I'd like to mention on the issue is that the argument that role-playing in 4E is no different than in 3.x could be just as easily used with a game I used to play as a young boy, called "Make Believe". Simply put, in 3.x, you had more information about how your character...

I don't personally have anything against 4E, it's just that 3.X does everything I could possibly want it to do, and with the addition of your two books, U_K, it's just the perfect system to realize my setting within. I have my entire world, from the Time Lord down to NPCs you could meet on the...

Oh, also, I've noticed that my power scale seems to have jumped up a bit from what I originally intended. The only person who seems like he should be pushed up is Dassem, I think closer to ECL 75 or 80 would be more accurate for him. He's still not in the league of the continent-smashers like...

That's great! :) I knew you guys would like it if you gave it a chance. Just 6 more months until the final book comes out, I can't wait!

And...here he is. (These pictures are, of course, Michael Kormack's outstanding, Ascendant-caliber work) (also, I really hate the spacing issues at ENWorld.) <style type="text/css"> <!-- @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } A:link { so-language: zxx...

Just a teaser, but I am attempting Anomandaris. ...the entry for Dragnipur alone is over a page long, single-spaced. :cool:
