I... think he's more or less in line power-wise, though I know his sword is about 1.5 times what he should have, but he kind of needs to have it if he exists at all. It's pretty essential to his character.I actually might have short-changed him on divine abilities, I'm not sure, since I first advanced the Concordant Slayer to 90 HD, then applied the template. Artifact ECL gets kind of tricky at that point. Let me know if he seems off in either direction.[sblock] AustereThe Bringer of Equilibrium, The Self-AnnihilatedThis entity is one of utter serenity, seeming to lack all traces of emotions or even a personality. It was born long, long ago as the assassin of a long-dead Intermediate Power (whom it slew to gain its Deicide Portfolio) and served exceptionally in that role, slaying all manner of alignmnet exemplars are lesser divine creatures. As it attained more and more power, it became increasingly harder for its Immortal master to control, and further and further zealous in its approach to rendering cosmic balance. Eventually, the scale was tipped and the entity who would later be given the name Austere killed its creator as per the dictates of its sense of balance, absorbing the god's quintessence and asencding an a Power of deicide. Since then, it has acted of its own accord, seeking out and killing gods and cosmic entities of extreme (and lesser) alignments. In order to justify its actions in accord with its own beliefs, Austere was forced to destroy what little sense of self it possessed at its birth. Through long centuries of meditation, it achieved a nirvana mortal monks may only dream of and transcended its own identity, becoming a roving absense in the Kosmos, existing only to hunt and destroy those entities who unbalance the mutliverse.
