[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 4071670, member: 8461"] [b]The Omega Template[/b] [b][u][size=4]THE OMEGA[/size][/u][/b] [b]Anti-God[/b] The Omega is the natural enemy of the Supreme Being. Existing within the universe defined by the Akashic Records, the Omega is somehow able to defy the Supreme Being’s will, and even challenge it for the right to rule all of Existence. The possibility that an Omega could arise is one of the few things that can make even the Supreme Being afraid. [u]Creating The Omega[/u] The Omega template can only be applied to a creature that has the Time Lord template; any creature that is not at least a time lord when it gains this template is automatically gains that template as well. Further, only a select few beings in the cosmos have the potential to defy the Supreme Being – only PCs may gain this template; any NPC that gains the Omega template immediately becomes a PC. Only one Omega can ever exist at a time. Should the Omega ever become the Supreme Being, it immediately loses this template. [b]Special Qualities[/b] The Omega has all the special qualities of the base creature, as well as the following: [i]Limit Omnipotence (Ex):[/i] While the Supreme Being is infinite in regards to most creatures, it always interacts with the Omega through a limited manifestation (e.g. the GM has self-representing game stats when it comes to dealing with the Omega, but not with other creatures). To calculate the ECL of the Supreme Beings manifestation, the GM must roll 10d10 (subject to the Omega’s View the Hand of God power; see below) with the results being how many times it has the Time Lord template applied (with all relevant stats being calculated from that). Because even the Supreme Being’s power waxes and wanes as it interacts with the Akashic Records, this number must be rerolled each time the Supreme Being interacts with reality (e.g. each game session). [b][u]N.B.[/u][/b] [i]If the Omega and the Supreme Being do battle, rather than try to run the fight, the GM and the players should agree to play a simple game, such as chess or poker, with the results of that game being the results of the battle.[/i] [i]Quintessential (Ex):[/i] The Omega retains its current divinity template even if it does not have the minimum quintessence for it. Further, if it does not have the minimum quintessence for its current divinity template then the Omega naturally regains 1 quintessence per day, until it meets the minimum amount for its current divinity template. [i]View the Hand of God (Ex):[/i] The Omega is able to see the workings of the Supreme Being in all things. The GM must make all dice rolls in plain sight of the players, rather than behind the GM screen. [b]Challenge Rating[/b] N/A [b]Level Adjustment[/b] +0 [b][u]Adventure Ideas[/u][/b] [b]Mid-Cosmic:[/b] The PCs patron has, all this time, been a lipika investigating whether or not one of the PCs is the Omega in nascent form.

[b]High Cosmic:[/b] The inconceivable Infinitaur has decided that one of the PCs has some connection to the Omega, and begins to attack everyone the PCs have ever come into contact with, hoping to consume the Omega and gain its power for itself, so that it may challenge the Supreme Being.
