Dragon Gods (Aasterinian, Chronepsis, and Faluzure)

[Krishnath]

Hmm... I think it would be better to just have him drain an even 10 levels (save for half), since a great wyrm shadow dragons drains 8 levels. Also there is no summon shadow spell in 3E (yet.)

Boz: Aasternian needs to have the fire subtype, since she is a brass dragon. I also suggest giving her 46HD. Also it would perhaps be wise to read through chapter 2 of Deities and Demigods™ (Deities Defined) as it spells out all the powers that deities recive, that is if you haven't read it allready... But other than that, Looking Good!

i have skimmed it, but have yet to read it thoroughly. thanks for pointing it out fellas, saves me a lot of grief later. do we give subtypes like Fire to gods? does that still apply? and she isn't really a brass dragon, she just looks like one.

Until I saw this stuff, I'd forgotten how nasty Faluzure is... Heh heh heh...

Breath Weapon: Energy draining cloud: 30’x40’x50’. Victims in cloud receive 1d10 negative levels. Save (DC ) for half. Creatures reduces to zero level or below become juju zombies under control of Faluzure. Breath also causes disease (save DC ) which is fatal in 2d4 hours unless cured by a priest of 12th level or higher.

If you have it, I'd check the Shadow Dragons in Monster Manual Appendix: Monsters of Faerun to see how powerful their breath weapon is... and then increase it by one die!

Special Damage: Any melee hit causes paralysis and fear (save DC ). If the creature fails both saves, it becomes insane.

Another unique SDA... I would treat this in a manner similar to Annihilating Strike (DC= 20 + DvR + damage dealt), but make it a Will save (so long, Fighters!) that must be made twice. I would suggest that the duration be one round per the # of points the victim failed the save. I would make the insanity permanent.

Undead: Controls undead as a 20th-level cleric. It can animate dead at will, and summon shadow every other round.

I don't know if Faluzure has to have a DvR higher than 10 to gain Undead Mastery... If he does have to be of Intermediate god status, I would recommend that you create a watered-down version of Undead Mastery for him as a unique SDA.

I would hate to fight him even as an epic character...

I think you can... I don't remember off the top of my head if Surtur and Thrym of the Norse Pantheon have subtypes...

This could be an Extraordinary ability or a unique SDA since most dragons her size can't do this.

regarding her Swallow Whole ability, why wouldn't something her size be able to do it? maybe not standard dragons, but she hardly qualifies as standard anything. it might work just fine as an Ex, similar to the way it works for the Tarrasque or something. damage would be very high - fatal to most creatures in the first round.

Well, I think the reason they never gave the swallow whole ability to any dragons from any edition is because, generally speaking, they're so powerful to give them something else would have been overkill....

That said, for a dragon god, you'll notice that neither Bahamut nor Tiamat have the swallow whole ability now. Still, this is your thing. If you want to give her (or anyone else) swallow whole, go for it! They are gods after all. I would make it an extraordinary ability and I would give it instant death.

you're right, they did drop it from bahamut... but i might just keep it for aastry.

 

[BOZ]

so, what do you think would be a good subtitute for Summon Shadow?

also, i'm thinking of giving this to Faluzure:

HD 45
Ability Scores – 45/10/35/37/33/33

 

[The Serge]

I would recommend raising all of their Charismas.

Aasterinian: 35 (at least as high as Bahamut and Tiamat if not already).
Chronepsis: 44 (death can be very convincing).
Faluzure: 42 (he's as beautiful as he is deadly).

Otherwise, looks good.

 

[BOZ]

hmm, let's see...
Aphrodite has 47 Cha.
Tyche has 46.
Balder, Freya, Loki have 44.
Dionysus, Hera, Bes (somehow), Hathor have 43.

every other diety in the DDG has less than 40 Cha.
i guess i could see raising the Cha for these three dragon deities, but probably not as high as you propose.

will do more work on them today, one way or the other!

BTW, how is everything else so far?
