[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6019304, member: 57383"] I take it you approve then. Okay, I've come up with the following 'Lovecraftian Themed' powers. I'm quite fond of them all. Do you like them for the "Slug King"? [B]Aura of Desecration (Su):[/B] Ythog-Nthlei continuously produces a profane aura that affects all creatures within a 30 ft. radius emanation. This aura strengthens undead, evil aberrations, evil outsiders, and any evil extraplanar creatures, giving them the following benefits: [LIST] [*]+2 profane bonus on attack and damage rolls; [*]+4 profane bonus on saving throws and turn resistance; [*]+4 deflection bonus to AC; [*]blocks possession and mental influence as if it were a [I]protection from good[/I] spell; [*]All non-evil creatures within the aura take a -6 profane penalty on Charisma checks to turn a qualifying creature; [*]Any qualifying creature created within or summoned into the aura of desecration gains +1 hit points per HD. [/LIST] Ythog-Nthlei is considered a qualifying creature and receives all the above effects, including the hit point bonus, and these have been incorporated into his statistics. Ythog-Nthlei can exclude creatures from its aura of desecration, however it chooses, denying them its effects. The aura of desecration does not emanate into an [I]antimagic field[/I] or a consecrated area with an altar (see the [I]consecrate[/I] spell). Ythog-Nthlei still gains the aura's benefits within such prohibited areas, but other evil creatures can not bask in his aura. [B]Beyond Time and Space (Ex):[/B] Ythog-Nthlei transcends spatial and temporal limitations. He is immune to time-manipulation effects such as [I]slow[/I], [I]temporal stasis[/I] and magical aging; cannot be forcibly moved into another dimension by [I]dispel evil[/I], [I]imprisonment[/I], [I]maze[/I] or any similar effect; and is not affected by [I]dimensional anchor[/I] or [I]dimensional lock[/I]. He sees all adjacent dimensions clearly, including the Astral Plane, Ethereal Plane and the interiors of extradimensional spaces such as a [I]rope trick[/I], [I]maze[/I] or [I]portable hole[/I]. Ythog-Nthlei can attack incorporeal and out-of-phase targets without penalty and ignores the effects of [I]blink[/I] or [I]displacement[/I] powers. Finally, if any creature uses [I]time stop[/I] within X feet of Ythog-Nthlei he can attempt to interrupt the [I]time stop[/I] as a free action. If Ythog-Nthlei succeeds at a Will save against the DC of the [I]time stop[/I], he can choose to have the [I]time stop[/I] fail or actually enter the [I]time stop[/I] with the other creature. If Ythog-Nthlei and another creature share a [I]time stop[/I] they can target each other attacks or spells as if they were both in normal time, but creatures outside the [I]time stop[/I] are invulnerable to their attacks and spells. Ythog-Nthlei can use time- or space-manipulation powers on himself if wishes (i.e. the beyond time and space ability does not prevent him using [I]haste[/I] on himself). [B]Beyond Death (Ex):[/B] Ythog-Nthlei can not be killed. If brought to -10 hit points, his body melts away, leaving nothing but an unspeakable stain, but Ythog-Nthlei will reappear at some later time or on some other plane without suffering any penalties for having died. He reappears even if his body and spirit are annihilated. The time-delay and distance of Ythog-Nthlei's reappearance after death is at the DM's discretion, but are usually considerable (e.g. 1001 years later on the spot he died, or immediately on the lowermost layer of the Abyss). Ythog-Nthlei's cult claim he is billions of years old, older even than the multiverse (impossible though that be). One infamous poet wrote that "even death can die" over Ythog-Nthlei's eldritch lifespan, granting him his peculiar immortality. More rational scholars theorize that Ythog-Nthlei lives simultaneously in many bodies, and all have to be killed simultaneously in order to kill him. The wildest theory among sages is that Ythog-Nthlei has para-chronological immortality and lives simultaneously at many different [I]times[/I] as well as places. [/QUOTE]
