It's kind of suggested that you keep Hit Dice and Level Adjustment as close together as possible in order to keep things balanced. That said, nothing wrong with using 1/3 ECL in that case. About your other point, I don't really see the issue. In almost all cases, a given Immortal won't be able to take an ability a tier above esoteric anyways. Let's take an average intermediate deity, for instance. HD: 60ECL: 120Divine Abilities: 12Equipment ECL: 40 (remember, 1 Divine Ability is 1 ECL) Bearing in mind items maxes of +60 and +55, respectively, there's no way he'd ever be able to get a Transcendental Ability, which would cost +216 points. Unless he somehow ignored the cap and pooled all his equipment ECL into one super-artifact, in which case he'd have a +240 item, or rather, a +28 weapon with a single Trans. ability on it, which, frankly, shouldn't be allowed by any means. The caps are there for a reason. On the Sidereal scale, take an Old One HD: 160ECL: 320Divine Abilities: 32Equipment ECL: 107 He couldn't possibly take an Omnific ability (200 Divines or +1200 on an item), which is the way it should be.</blockquote>
