[QUOTE="Belzamus, post: 5073201, member: 61612"] For the first question, I *believe* a Feat is worth +1 on a weapon, thus +6 for a Divine, +36 Cosmic, +216 Transcendental, +1,200 Omnific. Armor is bit fizzier for me, but I think it *should* work the same way. It all comes down to equivalent ECL value anyhow. +50% Divines from your template? That sounds unbalanced. A Cosmic is worth 6 Divines. Anything above Intermediate Deity could exploit an ability like that. It gives free ECL basically. For an additional artifact, each artifact is equal to 1/4 ECL. No way for a Cosmic. You want an extra artifact, you take a flat ECL increase. If you trade in all 4 artifacts, you get a number of Divine Abilities equal to your template's Divine Abilities x4. This comes out to slightly more in ECL value, but the 5/6thss rule of the divinity templates balances it out. Unless it's on an artifact, no, you need to qualify for any abilities you take, unless you have the Nescient series of abilities. Also, just some advice, I find this system is a lot easier to work of if you think of everything in terms of ECL. Convert everything into that and you can trade one thing for another for another, for another. [/QUOTE]
