Converting Epic Level Creatures

[Cleon]

I like them as well, They thematicaly fit even if he doesnt origonaly have them. They did that with allo of unique critters when they swapped them to later editions so it's fine with me.

So shall I stick 'em in the Working Draft, then?

 

[Nookie]

Sure

I decided to split the "flavour stuff" out of Beyond Death and move it to the description.

 

[freyar]

Now "Beyond Death" really just is "Rejuvenation" with slightly more purple prose, so why not use the standard ability?

You've convinced me about "Beyond Time and Space."

Hearty looks fine for him.

Shall we work on the mace, the divination defense, etc?

 

[Nookie]

yes lets move on to the mace.

 

[freyar]

Well, I like the suggested ideas but am getting too tired to suggest much. Except that it should have vastly reduced powers in anyone else's hands.

Are you getting burned out on conversions?

How about instead of reducing the powers we pull a wand of orcus and say it Give you Some huge penalty (x amount of damage or negative levels or something) unless the big bad gives permission.

 

[freyar]

Burned out? Nah, just suffering from lack of sleep.

Anyway, now I'm awake again, I think I'd vote against life-drinking abilities (cribbed from the greataxe) unless we make him tomb-tainted or something. Don't want to give him negative levels unless they benefit him. I like making it a mace of terror and giving it the ability to use blacklight at will.

I do agree that there needs to be something to stop PCs from knocking him off and then getting an overpowered weapon, whatever mechanic we use.

 

[Nookie]

What would you replace the level draining with. maybe a wounding mechanic or con damage on a crit?

Dang it, I forgot to add the Hearty to its SQ line.
