[QUOTE="Neoiceshroom, post: 5752512, member: 6674872"] That's kind of what I wanted to get away from. I'm still contemplating on whether or not the epic meta-FX feats should be allowed to apply to epic spells prepared using FEANMERC or any similar system. My first instinct says no, but honestly I don't even know where to begin on crunching those types of numbers, plus I haven't slept in close to 30 hours so my brain is a bit on the fritz. Lots of drugs in my system to keep me awake. Mostly Caffine and Cannabinoids. However, now that my brain is feeling the relief of making progress on this problem which has been on my mind constantly since you made the post crunching Boccob's numbers, I may well pass out soon due to exhaustion. Have you had any experience with allowing meta-magic feats to affect epic spells? good idea/bad idea? Numbers crunched? data of any sort? Yeah, in fact I believe the particular excel document Belz sent to me over googledocs used a Blast ability for damage comparison. Maybe that's why the damage output seemed to be so low, despite investing doezens of DVAs. Those abilities are awesome. not only are they awesome but I'd even go so far as to say allowable in the tournament. Will keep them in mind for when I design the numerous dragons that may make appearances for this Cosmic Upheaval in the making. I must say Buugi, you sir have just been full of one awesome surprise after another. How many more aces do you have up those sleeves of yours I wonder? Also on a completely Unrelated note, I'm considering adding Thor into the Competition. He will probably be an immortal of double Strength and will only gain access to the Thunder portfolio via his Hammer. He's actually going to be a lot more like the Marvel version of Thor than the original Norse god Thor, but that's just because my universe is just insane in that regard. Probably would have levels in Threat, Swordsage/Crusader...maybe even a paladin seeing as he is Bloody fearless. I DM a lot more than just D&D. I also run d20 modern and BESMd20 which can be applied to just about any universe. I've run games of just about every genre.
