Gotta say, it''s kind of awesome to see people using my content. Flattering, really. Glad it's doing someone some good. Anyway, will look through later in more detail and comment. :)

Okay, Alzrius, here is the fight between Morgoth and Fingolfin. It's... unfortunately written in extremely flowery language, so drawing any sort of concrete evidence from it is going to be nearly impossible. The only relevant bit seems to be the sentence I bolded.

Could you not use the blood of immortals who have the Poisonous [Blood] divine ability for higher-level poisons?

Still digging through the Silm for quotes, but had another thought on the issue. I think we almost have to accept that the Gandalf who battled Durin's Bane was in many respects equal in "stature" to Olorin the Maia and not constrained by the Istari limitations, as... well, he fought on even...

You make some very strong points. Going to have to think about this for a bit (need to be off to class soon). But I'll just mentioned that in the Tale of Years in Appendix B (I believe) of LotR, it outlines both Gandalf's fall and the battle on the peak, and there's an 8-day gap between them...

I did mean the opposite. Oops. And I was actually referring to mostly the second article, I agree that the Fellowship is in the ~2-6 range I suppose we could infer something like a featherfall, I was just assuming, absent any mention of Gandalf using a spell to avoid the impact, he just...

I love that first article, but I feel like the second is seriously, seriously downplaying Gandalf and the Balrog. 8th level wizards do not fight for 8 days straight, nor do they survive effortlessly falling down a miles-deep chasm, nor do they create bursts of flame and lightning that are so...

I suppose what it really comes down is whether, in his fight with Durin's Bane, was Gandalf still restrained by the Valar, or was he fighting it Maia to Maia? It would seem to be that he was going all out, but we'll never really know for certain. I think it's safe to say that the Witch-King...

Is their a typo in Gimli's level? How is he possibly the same level as Merry and Pippin? Also, where does Gandalf the White fall? I'm surprised the Witch-King is so much higher than his Grey form considering he was able to take down Durin's Bane. I can't see Angmar being able to best a...

I think I might raise the die-size by one magnitude for both permanent and normal damage healing, assuming this is meant to be used in combat rather than downtime. Especially damage, entities at this level has such ludicrous HP that ~300d100 is barely a drop in the ocean, likewise, permanent...

I kind of doubt that, Neo, as... :\

Buggi: Thank you for pointing that out, I'm not entirely sure what I was thinking with that one. I could make the defense that my setting has an extremely tightly-controlled list of spells that exist in it, but... I made the abilities before I made that spell list. >_> Anyway, that was all I...

Right. So, first of all, my magic and metamagic abilities. Keep in mind with these: I do not allow the stacking of metamagic whatsoever, and I do not allow more than 1 quickened spell per round unless the caster has additional swift actions. That said, these are largely untested. Cataclysmic...

I... want to say no, given my dislike of the seed system, but I never really looked into it. The tricky part is going to be that it's originally written to use spell points, since my setting I designed it for uses those instead of spell slots. But that might not be so much of a problem to...

I'll try and get it to you by this weekend, Neo. I'm not sure it's really the best fit for the tournament, but we'll see.

I'm following along, just got a ton going on right now and can't really contribute meaningfully at the moment. Sorry. I'll keep checking in though.

As an aside, Neo, I'm dubious as to how well this will be able to play out in a live game. I know for my part, I'd want to consider my characters' actions very carefully, given the huge plethora of abilities all the entrants have. I can't imagine that sort of playstyle will lend itself very well...

>_> <_< Entertaining expectations in conflict with reality is certainly your right... I really won't be joining you, though.

Erm... negative on that count; I'm not the traveling type. >_>

Isn't he like 100 levels too weak, Neo?
