Infinite Level scaling worked in 1st Edition (I should know I played up to Level 117), because the benefits of each level beyond a certain point were barely more than a few extra hit points. In 5e each class has no 'dead levels' which makes stacking beyond 20 gets progressively more complicated...

Well you have both: God Rules: Epic Heroes (formerly called God Rules: Player's Guide) which should be ready April 2026, which expands the game (indirectly) to Level 8 million (via 30+ Divine Ranks: 1. Hero-deity, 2. Quasi-deity, 3. Demigod, 7. Elder One, 8. Great Old One, 30. Games Master...

It's more of a crazy desperation move. As regards PC's, they could burn a bunch of HP of their Physical Form to up the damage, even 'kill' themselves if the intention was to stick around in their True/Mythic form. So lots of options. For those comic fans out there Thor's god blast is Pranic...

Cheers Khisanth buddy! :) Lets take my Ancient Red Dragon and give it Pranic Energy as its breath weapon. The Breath Weapon deals (135) 30d8 damage (save for 1/2 = 67) and the dragon has over 1000 HP. Average Level 20 character Hit Points is about 150. If the dragon sees it can get multiple...

In 5E they circumnavigate much of that with Attunement Slots. But its still too easy to pick up Immunities in my opinion. Great minds think alike. Energy Immunity is a big problem in high level play and I am not happy with how easy it is (Epic Boons) to obtain a lot of Immunities. Best of...

Thanks amigo. The way it's meant to work is if you use a Gravitic, attack on an 80 Hit Dice Monster it's as if the caster is 80 Hit Dice themselves (though the damage is capped at double its initial power). That said, I agree Gravitic damage is a bit confusing. I had an alternate version...

Super Energy Types Preview Following are the new Super-Energy types which along with the even more powerful Ultra Energy types are backbones of divine damage. Hope you like them. As ever, let me know what you think guys?

It's hypothetically possible you could be immune to fire, radiant and also even force which would make you immune to an exploding Supernova. However, that's a rare combination plus each Immunity comes with a paired Vulnerability: So that character would be Vulnerable to Cold, Necrotic and...

Hey amigo - thanks for the feedback (just back from the eye clinic - all good but likely taking a good month to fully heal). Yes I just think I will go with clarity and ease of use rather than consistency in this case. Using 1/2 and even 1/10th is easier than decimals. But for everything else...

A year or two ago I remember seeing some crazy robot art ad thinking that would make a cool "Master Force Organiser" (a type of Eventuator, and normally I save cool images into an epic reference folder for future inspiration, but for whatever reason I didn't this time. So I have the visual in my...

That said here is the sort of example that's wanting me to use a fraction: To me in the above context 1/2 makes more sense than "= x0.5 your Hit Dice in d6's". However, in almost any case where its anything other than 1/2, the decimal seems the better option. ...or am I just going crazy...

Thanks for the reply DungeonExplorer. That's what I thought. Now in some cases I currently have "deals damage = 1/2 your Hit Dice" or "deals damage = 1/10th your Hit Dice". Though I think I will go back and change all those to Decimals just for consistency. As noted a few minor rebalancing...

In the process of some minor rebalancing today and I am wondering whether Fractions or Decimals are the most intuitive. For instance an Energy Aura deals damage = 1/4 Hit Dice x Tier. So is it clearer to have (for example) a Tier 5 Aura deals energy damage Option A: "Energy damage = 1 1/4...

If this was first Edition I would agree. However, every class gains so many abilities, sub-class features and so on in any Edition from 3E onwards, that it would make characters virtually unplayable in terms of complexity. For mechanical reasons alone, I have limited the 'mortal' classes to...

You just gave me an idea for a new Divine Boon amigo. That aside, I don't see the need for 1E style "Gods can have all the classes" - it carries FAR too much baggage in any Edition past first. Classes get way too many abilities to be allowing Gods to have multiple such classes. I mean you could...

I always think of Arioch in the context of the Michael Moorcock books where he is the Prince of Swords. Thus we need to turn to the original Deities & Demigods which has him as a 379 HP Greater God - which converts to an Intermediate Deity in modern D&D (3e onwards) - only the 400 HP Pantheon...

Thank you DungeonExplorer amigo! Fingers crossed the recover goes well. I made a slight mistake in my angelic listing, Evangels are the 8d Angels, not the Mazzarot. Not sure there are 9d angels specifically yet. Though the Eventuators (servants of the Akasic Records - 9D robots effectively)...

hey there buddy! I had eye surgery on Thursday. All went well. Vision still blurry as I type this though, so taking a few days off until I can work at the computer again. I suspect I will do eventually. In the short term I will likely have my revised Solar in the God Rules: Epic Heroes book...

That's awesome. I have streamlined things massively in God Rules, but very cool to see the Ascension parameters on display - certainly more in depth than the 5e version, but I think for usability the change is worth it.

No reason why Tiamat cannot have lots of children. My current thinking is that Tiamat (A Primordial Chaos entity) either created or was split into four Aspects each with a different alignment: CN, CE, NE, LE and a different Purview (Fire, The Sea, Earth-Fertility and of course Dragons). These...
