[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 9361469, member: 83242"] A lot of good ideas and comments. Thank you! A few specific responses. The no save is right form the official statblock. It is so minor I didn't mind it myself so I didn't change. But I will think about it. I do have a space issue though. That is an interesting idea. The Divine Spellcaster trait was a late add of fluff really to let people know that the big V is a serious spellcaster. This could be clarified, but I am personally fine with a DM interpreting it however the want. I don't know that it is worth the words to clarify. That is a cool idea. I will have to think about it. I would have to remove something to add that. Vecna doesn't have Actions or Legendary Actions. He has Divine Actions, Bonus Actions, Reactions, and Ascended Actions. Divine Actions are taken on his turn or after another creatures turn. Ascended Actions are taken at initiative count 30. That is interesting. I was just realizing the other day that when I "balanced" the divine actions I eliminated the recharge roles and that maybe that wasn't 100% a good idea. I am doing one more pass on this project before I put it to bed, so I will think about bringing back some recharge options. Fantastic Ideas. I just don't have the room to something like that with this product. Maybe if a do a full Vecna compendium (like my forthcoming 64 page Tiamat compendium) I can add those. [/QUOTE]
