[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 5677717, member: 326"] Hey Damien! :) True but then what? At this point you have created one Metempiric power for the explicit purpose of taking on a new enemy you have to create...a power which makes such an enemy virtually redundant. It all seems like a bit of a pointless exercise, which I suppose Metempiric (and to an extent Omnific) powers already are. The more powerful you ascend the less enemies there are to draw from and the less likely you'll be able to sustain a campaign (without a tremendous amount of effort) Actually thats the literal translation of the term...that it IS the most powerful being in the Everyverse. Thats like saying a Level 30 PC group can defeat (4E) Orcus...that doesn't make them individually more powerful. As you yourself note, Metempiric abilities are simply excuses for gaming hypotheticals and endgame exaggerative nonsensicalism. I suspect that at some point the statistics become meaningless (and/or breakdown) and you may as well just play rock-paper-scissors or tic-tac-toe. Technically each Time Lord would have Double Every Portfolio...but I wouldn't want to have to type out that stat-block. :eek: I believe there already exists a Transcendental power which gives you every Portfolio. I wonder if my (superior) 4E approach to immortality could easily be ported to 3E...on reflection probably not, at least not without a complete rescaling of 3E divinity (which would defeat the purpose). :( [/QUOTE]
