[QUOTE="Belzamus, post: 4393061, member: 61612"] Okay, I have both the Bestiary I and Ascension and I've read them both cover to cover several times. I don't know if I somehow missed this, but, let's say I'm making a 60 HD Intermediate Deity just flat out of the Ascension rules, outsider HD to avoid complications. My ECL is apparently either 120 (with equipment) or 100 (without equipment) Now, when it says without equipment, that literally means NO ITEMS, from what I understand. Therefore, am I to extrapolate that this deity has ECL 20 in equipment? Or, in other words, the equivelent of 20 Divine Abilities, a +40 to all stats, 4 +6 Weapons, or the like? I think I've missed a big point here since the artifiact section mentions nothing like that. Instead it has those formulas for compute maximum bonus for specific kinds of items. However, unless I'm missing something, there is nowhere which it explains how many different effects are allowed on one item. For some reason I've come up with the notion that every Immortal is ENTITLED to 4 artifacts, each of equivelant value of a number of divine abilities = to their divine rank. Upper Krust told me in an email that a by-the-books Time Lord has a possible 4 Omnific Abilities through its items. Looking at the ECL (1666 v. 2000) its item apparently are worth 334 levels. However, an Omnific is 200 Divine Abilities which is, accoridng to the "Divinity Template Breakdown" on p. 27 of Ascension, worth 200 levles. So which is it, 334 or 800 ECL for its items? I think I'm just way off base here, and I'd really appreciate it if U_K or someone else who understands this could either lay it out clearly here for me or direct me to where I can find the answer myself. Thanks a lot. [/QUOTE]
