Another Immortals Handbook thread

[historian]

Oh yeah, one more thing. Does Limbus have a Marvel counterpart?

Hi Upper Krust
I got the solution to the problem. I also had to change so rules to fit my costum RPG you can see an example of this on DF, i would like to know what you think.

I'm not really sure what you mean by 'include details on specific cases'?

Well, you said before that you had other ways than worship for a god to gain godly power, so would it be possible for a mortal to ascend to godhood by syphoning energy (must this process be active, or can it be passive?)?

Otherwise, thanks for the reply!

Hi UK!

Could this thread http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=140322 be the one, you were looking for?

Hey U_K!

Hi historian matey!

Quick question -- where would you place Master Order/Lord Chaos on the divinity scale? I'm thinking that they are more like avatars of First Ones rather than First Ones.

By rights they should be First Ones, but the Marvel iterations seem to suggest that they are notably less than the likes of Eternity, Infinity, Death (and the rarely seen Oblivion), so maybe they are both 'merely' Old Ones.

The Marvel Hierarchy is slightly confusing in that 'Eternity' has nothing to do with time.

Oh yeah, one more thing. Does Limbus have a Marvel counterpart?

Technically it should be Lord Chaos.

Interesting take on Demogorgon.

No mortal could do this in and of their own power.

Outsiders (ie. immortals) can.

Otherwise, thanks for the reply!

Thats what I'm here for.

Thats the one!

You are brilliant.


Incidently, speaking of Sean K Reynolds, I was reading a very interesting article over on his website recently:

http://www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/misc/variantfewerabsolutes1.html

and it sort of parallels a line of reasoning I was seeking to explore with divinity and the erstwhile illogic of absolute immunity. I was going over a few things and you really can paint yourself into a corner with immunities, to the extent that they could ruin epic/immortal gaming...that bit about Megaflames sent chills down my spine. So expect very few immunities in the IH.

Oh and the way I have revised the Critical Hit Immunity is inspired.

Thanks! I've remembered, that I could have emailed you that link - and I had still my copy available.

I've seen this article already - I can't find a single flaw with that. Incidentally, SKR hasn't mentioned Anti-magic Field yet - another horrible absolute. EoMR solved this problem - antimagic fields can be overcome with SR checks. A brilliant solution, IMO. And I can't wait to see your take regarding the Critical Hit Immunity!

Well I'm still waiting on a couple players, but for Rancellus and Sharynie we have:
Rancellus: War and Honour
Sharynie: Nature and Shadows
