(or are atleast planning to try to attempt to get something done <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />)I like that you have a gameplan for how to handle the books you want to attempt. One minor bit concerns me slightly: As with the 3E Immortal's Rules Set, you are writing and publishing the Bestiary before the Base Ruleset. In the past, this led to some design hiccups (The Nexus Dragon's deceptivly low CR, and the VSC madness) which prolonged Ascension's design time. I am concerned that without a baseline of "what Immortal's PCs are Capable of at Level X" that a similar problem may occur. You may write some "Astral-Mega-Demon" that assumes standards that won't make it into the 4E IH. Now, I am sure, with 4E being out for ~6 months, that you have brainstormed whatever ideas you have and may attempt to convert alot of your 3E IH material, but the math-models are what tripped you up last time, and that is what 4E game design hinges on. 3E was a bit more plug-math-then-test, while with 4E I can generally plug the math, and, barring extreme stupidity on my end, the math will always play right. (In my first 4E campaign, the Big-bad, an insane cultist, had a rediculously high to-hit bonus. I forgot [when designing] that NPC to-hit isn't directly affected by wisdom. Essentially, he added his wisdom to-hit with his powers twice, giving him a +20 to hit at 10th level! Thankfully, while I didn't correct this during the fight, the PCs still faired well, defeating both the cultist and his summoned Berbalang, with a hireling as the only casulty.)Otherwise, it sounds like you have a good plan. I can't wait to see what kind of 'Krustian-Krazyness' you have planned.</blockquote>
