No such feat as Shield Focus, at least not in anything OGL by WotC. There's Shield Specialization, which does what you mention, though, in the PHB2.

I'd like the formula for determining weight of creatures with VSCs explicitly spelled out.

Upper_Krust: Duly noted. Thanks, and welcome back. Dante: I think you meant to post that on the Bestiary thread? Here's how it works, as I understand it. By the default rules, that greater deity is ECL 180, thus he can have, for example, bracers of armor +90, a headband of intellect +90, a...

Here's something that occurred to me while contemplating the history of my avatar character... When an immortal's manifestation is destroyed away from his home plane, he rejuvenates. But, is that process akin to resurrection (his old body reforming and healing), or is the immortal's...

Sounds strange, creative, and (possibly unnecessarily) complicated. I think I'd have to see the finished monster before I could guesstimate a CR for it.

Yeah, Mercucio is where I got the idea for that method, mentioned a bit earlier on the thread. I think double is a bit too much, though...

Really, I think the most balanced way to do it would be to grant one divine ability slot for every +6 of the artifacts you're giving up. For example, an ECL 150 immortal would get four artifacts of +75 each (discounting weapons); 75 * 4 = 300, and 300/6 = 50. Thus, if that immortal gave up all...

What about Eternals' artifacts? Where do they fit?

Probably Dante's reasoning for making it a template... a pretty nice package, Dante, but I think the Transcendental Beam might be overkill. The feats section is a bit messy; first of all, prerequisites are always ignored for feats granted by race or template, no need to spell it out. Second...

Looks kind of lopsided.... low AC, but it can take out some 1st-level characters in one hit (wizards, low-Con bards and rogues). Although, I guess eating the wizard and then dying itself would count as "consuming 25% of the party's resources...."

Elder One, Old One and First One are simply U_K's terms for three tiers of what regular D&D lumps together as "overgods;" the creatures that are to gods, as gods are to mortals. Your mortals who've ascended would probably be in the Disciple to Hero Deity range.

I don't want any fire down there, nuh-uh! :eek:

Fertility Portfolio still refers to Fire...

According to the table at the front of the Powers section of Ascension, Cosmic abilities are equivalent to a +36 weapon or armor power.

Next update is when?

Pardon me for saving you unnecessary work. I'm just saying, the mechanism for mortals becoming outsiders already exists, no need to make one. Even if Orcus was mortal once (which I don't buy into, personally), he worked his way up through the ranks, starting as a mane. Your elemental...

No. Mortals in Hell start out as soul shells, and if they're really evil and really lawful, and really lucky, they eventually get turned into lemures. About one in a billion lemures becomes a barbazu (I think), and barbazu that do well get promoted to the next tier, and so on. The other...

Laugh if you wish, but the point remains; D&D has its own laws of reality and physics, but they are not the same as ours. Real life matter is made up of, what, 200 and some odd elements? D&D matter is made up of four, with those 200+ substances merely subsets and combinations of them. In real...

How many times do I have to say it before it sinks in? You can't apply real-world physics to D&D. It just doesn't work, and was never intended to.

Is the speed tripling from a divine template, or Celerity, applied before or after the Fast Movement class feature?
