Message: <blockquote data-quote="Belzamus" data-source="post: 4970360" data-attributes="member: 61612">Wait...they're doing a million damage a hit without Unearthly Weapon Specialization...? All I can say is: "Whoa!".  My most powerful First One (240 HD, ECL 492)'s attack looks like this:  Also adding in a 240:1 Power Attack on a charge, which with a Touch Attack of nearly +1000, he's likely to get a full bonus on. (+57,600 damage per hit) Even then, against another First One, he'd only (Ha! Only!) deal 153,940 damage a hit, and he has pretty much every melee ability in Ascension. (Other than Ultimate Weapon Specialization). But a million? That's CRAZY. I'm assuming it has to do with some crazy Virtual Size Categories, since I tend to try to avoid those where possible (at least for character with the Weapon Spec line. I.e., this guy has 700 STR and is Gargantuan, his weapon's base damage is only 40d10.) Your game sounds nuts, Paradox. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> (Though I have to say, Scry-and-Fry and Time Travel wouldn't work in my campaign setting, thanks the gods.) Have you tried having them fight an actual Sidereal yet?  I'm actually kind of confused about the Nexus still. It gets a +240 luck bonus to initiative (and everything else), that still wasn't enough? Not to mention Unknowing gives a -240 penalty to everything within 21 miles. A gulf of 480 points wasn't enough to sway the fight in its favor? And over 200 levels of metamagic on its Alter Reality didn't help either?  Just, wow! Your party must be INSANE. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> Also, a tangential point that's been bugging me. Why isn't there a Damage Reduction Multiplier at higher tiers? Like, why do Sidereals have a DR that only blocks a few hundreds points of measly damage at best? Why not at least mulitiply it by their hit point multiplier, if not doouble that? Seems like it might make it actually relevant again before the awesome DR start to show up. Like, would it really be unreasonable for the Nexus to have DR 20,000/--? I don't really think so.</blockquote>
