Converting Epic Level Beings

[BOZ]

soon. first of all, how does this look?

Stone Talisman of the God-Killer (Major Artifact): Ma Yuan possesses a small, triangular piece of stone that possesses great power. It is rumored to contain the essences of gods he has slain. Once per round, as a free action, Ma Yuan can change the stone into any form of weapon (simple, martial, or exotic) made of any material, as a standard action. Ma Yuan is always treated as proficient in the weapon type chosen, and the weapon is always sized for a Colossal creature. Ma Yuan may return the weapon to its talisman form as a free action.

Ma Yuan may assign the weapon an enhancement bonus and special abilities as he wishes. Ma Yuan's weapon cannot have a modified bonus higher than +7 (see Dungeon Master's Guide p. 221-222). Additionally, the weapon always performs as if it had the bane quality against a foe with a divine rank of 0 or higher.

It looks good.

re: triad, "i do not think this word means what you think it means."

Stone Talisman sounds better anyway.

 

[BOZ]

ok, you now have your Homebrews posting.

 

[Shade]

Sweet.

How does he fly? Does he have wings, or should we give him magical flight like beholders?

Environment: Either the Abyss or Pandemonium. Unless we want to make him currently imprisoned on Carceri.

Borrowing from the glabrezu:

True Seeing (Su): Ma yaun continuously use true seeing as the spell (caster level 14th).

 

[BOZ]

nope, no wings. probably that sort of supernatural "propulsion by force of will" sort of flight that some powerful wingless beings have - like superman.

could we just go with any evil-aligned plane? i kinda like that.

...or Kal-el Cage.

That's fine. All nice and SRD-like.

ok so who is next?

[BOZ]

well... between the time i started this thread and now, it looks like all the archfiends are just about spoken for.

the demon lords will almost certainly all be written up in Dragon magazine's Demonomicon articles (though we are planning on submitting some proposals there)...

the devil lords are in consideration for being placed in a subsequent volume of the Dragon (magazine) Compenium (not volume 1, but perhaps another later volume)...

the yugoloth lords are not planned to be in anything as of yet (but we have submitted a proposal to Dragon magazine for them as well)...

so that cuts about 75% of the creatures listed on the first page of this thread.

THOUGH if we do get any of those Dragon proposals accepted, you know we will be coming to these forums for mucho input.

plus, we're close but not quite done with the current guy...

 

[BOZ]

good maneuverability for flight speed?

blindsight - 500 feet seems like an awfully big range to me...

caster level for true seeing?


i'm writing up his flavor text right now, will post him tomorrow.

That works.

blindsight - 500 feet seems like an awfully big range to me...

That's what all the abominations have, which he is on par with.

caster level for true seeing?

A balor is CL 20th, so I'd go at least that high.

Cool!

Add to Attack line: ...or Stone Talisman of the God-Killer (as +5 flaming shock greatsword) +65 melee (8d6+30 plus 1d6 fire and 1d6 electricity/19-20) or Stone Talisman of the God-Killer (as +5 flaming shock longbow) +51 ranged (6d6+5 plus 1d6 fire and 1d6 electricity/x3)

Add to Full Attack line: ...or Stone Talisman of the God-Killer (as +5 flaming shock greatsword) +65/+60/+55/+50 melee (8d6+30 plus 1d6 fire and 1d6 electricity/19-20) or Stone Talisman of the God-Killer (as +5 flaming shock longbow) +51/+46/+41/+36 ranged (6d6+5 plus 1d6 fire and 1d6 electricity/x3)

This begs several questions:

1.) Should we state that the Stone Talisman creates any necessary ammunition for ranged weaons (I'd say yes)?

2.) Should Ma Yuan be able to form masterwork/mighty versions of weapons (such as a bow allowing his full Str bonus)?
