[QUOTE="Neoiceshroom, post: 5776918, member: 6674872"] Sorry, I didn't even remember banning that ability. Sometimes things get mixed up inside my brain. For the most part it's a chaotic mess and sometimes things just... get lost for a while. Technically having full access to a transcendental ability is nigh impossible for purposes of this tournament. The only way I could forsee an Akalich even being able to participate in this tourney given the ECL restrictions would be if they actually just took the template as published in the IH-Beastiary. Hypothetically one could make a greater deity with 80 class levels and 80 levels of template. That's ECL 160. Stack Akalich on top of that and it brings your total up to 230 which still technically falls within the limits of power designated for this event. Exactly what's going to be contained within those ECLs is basically up to EMG. So far as I know he's the only one interested in entering an Akalich as a contender. Technically there is no need to figure out what type of ability a pre-established template would fall under, so long as they have a designated Level adjustment, it's easy to calculate. For example, the Akalich... by default is a LA +70 template. The only reason why I decided to translate it into two Trans. abilities is because it's easier to fill up two trans. ability slots than to say "This ability costs the equivalent of one transcendental, five cosmics and four divines." Also... Divine templates mesh extraordinarily well with the Akalich Template. Think about it this way, ordinary immortals cannot rejuvenate if they are slain on their home plane... but an immortal akalich... no problem at all. See what I'm getting at? From what I read, Craig basically wanted all of his templates to be somehow "greater than the mere sum of their parts." and frankly I agree with the man in that regard. I like the way things are going so far. [/QUOTE]
