I took a good look at his stat-block and even with the adjustments I made to him he'd get roasted. I was thinking of giving Alabaster a few more awesome artifacts to beef him up a little more. I've statted several contenders now that I'm sure could have a solid chance of defeating him with relative ease.Yes he does. In fact he's one of the main reasons I'm making this post. More on that in a minute.That's high praise coming from this man. If you have his respect, rest assured you have mine good sir. I couldn't possibly concur with my associate any more than I do. The Phoenix is nothing shy of magnificent. <3 Buugi.I'm so eternally grateful that you showed me these figures and made me take a second look at my Improved Spell capacity system and realize though it did successfully combine two systems, the systems combined were both broken in their own ways and the combination did not serve to fix them per say, merely make them exponentially more powerful. Seriously, thank you for showing me the error of my ways. Boccob will be getting a new stat-block before the tournament starts, rest assured.Personally i'm a fan of the Feanmerc system and I like the way it works. The AMMC feats by themselves are extremely powerful, so much so that once a character has acquired the meta-magic,particularly meta-magic freedom and improved meta-magic, both insanely powerful feats they desire, they might as well select nothing but AMMC FOR THE REST OF THEIR CAREERS. The same is true for ISC (Improved Spell Capacity) for the Feanmerc side of the coin.So yeah, to be honest I've given it a LOT....trust me... a LOT of thought and unfortunately I have decided to ban my own creation. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />*Sheds a tear....then whacks Improved Spell Mastery & Improved Power Mastery with a banhammer*<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/cry.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":.-(" title="Cry    :.-(" data-shortname=":.-(" />*regains composure*Anyway, now that we've passed that, the more I read up on the rules that both Belz & Buugi have posted the more I find myself liking them. Particularly the epic feats/divine abilities that modify magic/martial/psionic abilities with something similar to meta-magic.However, I will more than likely still use something very similar to Feanmerc and allow epic spells,powers & possibly even maneuvers can be custom made from the ground up, just not to a point of game-breaking ridiculousness.  The Feanmerc rules for Improved Spell & Power Mastery will be temporarily re-instated, but I'm deciding to also allow the abilities, Epic Meta-magic feats and the like, to be used as well.Unless of course someone has a better idea....EDIT1- I was considering allowing the epic/divine versions of meta-magic/psionic/martial abilties might actually be able to apply to epic spells, but I don't see the sense of trading one broken FX system for another.If anyone wants to crunch some numbers for me I'd be grateful. I kinda suck at math.On second note, Bel, do you still have that Excel document you designed for taking divine abilities multiple times to power up their damage and over-all usefulness? Well I don't have the file available but I remember I studied the chart fairly extensively and to be honest, even with the significant improvements you made to the system the damage on them still sucked. Perhaps their HP Multipliers apply to them as well, or make another divine/cosmic ability to increase their damage output further, without simply stacking the same redundant ability a dozen times? Just a thought, if you can find some more of our old data, try crunching some numbers and let me know what you guys think. Post em up when you get time friend.The tournament roster is actually growing very nicely. I daresay this project will actually see it's end before spring of 2012. Many thanks to everyone who has contributed anything, even a single post to this thread. Special thanks to Buugi and Belz for being awesome. Come on boys, we're half way there!</blockquote>
