If they want to take a -2 to hit, sure. Ultroloths are Medium anyway (I think), and Mariliths should be using Large longswords.

First of all, I'm sorry; I forgot to mention that I really do like the format, and can't wait to see the finished Portfolios. I agree that Fighter levels are probably more appropriate, even if Sorcerer would be more powerful... what about Cleric, as sort of a compromise? As to his artifacts...

Even though Weapon Finesse can't be applied to the longswords that Mariliths and Ultroloths favor?

One question; why Earth? He seemed more the Destruction type to me, given his role in the Apocalypse (note that I disagree with your non-Lawful requirement on that Portfolio). Also, you didn't apply the effects of his Uncanny Weapon Focus.

I think the base Ultroloth needs to be rewritten before any unique versions of it are created. It should have been CR 20, like the balor and pit fiend.

Indeed; the standard rule is that any SLA, even wish, has no components, including XP components. Also, are you equating one XP to one point of Quintessence? :confused:

What can we expect from the update on Tuesday?

Indeed, which is why I assumed not. The Total one could be tricky to handle on the fly, but that applies to a lot of U_K's work.

True, but I know of at least one DM (Selah, at Dicefreaks) who rules it that way. Something that occurred to me, and I want to be sure of it one way or the other; the extra Strength from Legendary Strength does give additional VSCs, but that from Total or Infinite Strength does not, right?

First of all, I really like the new Portfolio abilities; them being so valuable actually makes sense now! No, see below. Not speed, but if you assume that the D&D statistic of strength does include what RL athletes refer to as "explosiveness," which is how quickly you can go from a standstill...

Yo. Heh. That explains a lot. :p Nicely handled. Why would an ability not have weaker versions of itself as prerequisites? Even Epic Weapon Focus/Specialization were errata'd to require the Greater versions. I see. I think. So they're actually burning Quintessence with this ability...

So... without being denser, how is it possible for Medium creatures to have Strength in excess of 25 (base 18 + 2 racial + 5 level) without it going away in anti-magic/dead magic?

Maybe a feat that lets your Virtual Size Categories, instead of actual size, determine lifting ability?

I noticed something re-reading the Beastiary; Nimrod the Akalich can't get the full benefits of his Robe of the Almighty. The ability score boosts are morale bonuses, which are mind-affecting effects, which undead are immune to.

Sweet.

Spotted something else; "Improved Power Attack" is mixed in with the "Greater" feats. Alrighty. And I have two questions. First, if a character already has an ability similar to Greater Power Attack (which I assume is the correct name of the one I mentioned above), but it only applies to a...

My pleasure to have a hand in a work like this. :D

I notice you haven't cleared up the issues I suggested on DF with the Divine Feats, as you said you were going to. Greater Sunder and Superior Sunder are the same thing. Perfect Sunder is listed as both a feat and a divine ability. Superior Cleave's "Normal" line is wrong; normally you cannot...

Not sure about the Ultimate Specialization. However, I do have a problem with Uncanny Specialization; it forces anyone who wants to apply the two higher abilities to a natural weapon to completely waste a Cosmic ability. Nah, they're fine as they are. It's already a chain, just without the...

If you do run the play-by-post tournament, either here or at DF, Ltheb, I'd love to fill any open spots. :D Heh. Only in U_K's work could level 100 be considered "low epic."
