Epic Game

[Wrahn]

Okay dokey.

My real life game I play a shifter, I can attest that with things like the Pit Fiend and the bone ooze out there, the Shifter is WAY out of balance. It may not be as bad at 30th level though. I will give my character some thought.

Do you own the Unearthed Arcana? Any rules that you will be using out of there?

When you say any WotC product for 3.5, do you mean 3.0 as well? If not, you may want to caveat the epic level handbook as that is 3.0 as well

In anycase I am pretty flexible, I am comfortable playing nearly anything.

What precisely are the gods fighting over and what general alignment should we orient our characters toward?

I do not own Unearthed Arcana; if there are any rules you think are appropriate, I can take a look at those as well. Only the core rules and, yes, the Epic handbook are automatically allowed; other 3.0 material may be acceptable, like the Windrider.

No one knows exactly why the gods are fighting; even at your power level, (and there's no one out there bigger) they aren't in the habit of explaining themselves to mortals. Some of it may be a metaphysical territory dispute.

I'll allow any item to provide any bonus that is allowed in Core rules, except for the specifically disallowed dodge bonus, and following the formula whereby any but the most common costs twice as much, and all but the most expensive secondary function on an item costs twice as much as normal. So yes, you can build yourself a Ring of Broken AC.

Actually, I'm not certain but I think he MAY have been refering to the 'ring of universal elemental immunity' (If not, then I'M asking about it.)

Anyways, i have lots of Q's. (Nothing permanent in mind yet, though I'm leaning towards the Epic Sorc/Archmage. just gathering info for myself and others.)

You said splat-books allowed on a case-by-case basis, right? K, the ones I wanna know about are Forgetten Realms and Mongoose's Quintessential series.

Will this be the ooc/char creation thread or are you starting a new one? (I think this one'll work fine)

Are we siding with either Pantheon? If so, which one?
(If it's up to us players, then this Q is directed to the other players. Personally, I favour either remaining neutral or siding with the Norse.)

As for Magic Items, are we allowed to use the tables in the DMG to make special/combo items? (Within reason, of course.)

How're we doing HP?

*Bonus Joke question: Any reason Mystic Theurge is banned? (Other than it's extreme brokennes? *L*)


Well that's all I can think of right now, will think of more later probly.

Double-trouble.

He was referring to an item my character uses in Wynter Wolf's epic game, which is perhaps somewhat more powerful than desired by the game's creators.

Much of FR is allowed, but some, notably the Incantatrix, isn't. I don't have all that much Mongoose, though I do have Wizard; the only book I found well-done was the Monk.

This will be the character creation thread, and the OOC thread until it's too big.

The intent was that you would not side with either pantheon. You want the war stopped, because you happen to like the land without any city-sized craters in it, thank you very much.

You can create any item within reason; instantaneous or rd/level spells are unlikely to be allowed on non-charged items.

HP will be 75% percent of maximum for every hit die after first.

Y'ok, looks like we'll try a Figher 2(core)/Paladin 17(core)/Windrider 10(MotW)/Contemplative 1(DotF) of Athena, unless you'll let me take that Sun god mythos near the back of Deities... just some stuff:

I don't know how a prestige domain works with a non-cleric. Would I get a spell per paladin level, just the 1st level spell, or just the domain power? For the record, I was going to choose Mystism as my domain.

Can I take the combined cost of rhino hide, and add that cost to give just the charging effect to any other armor? Reverse building makes the actual power about 900gp, but that's way undercosted.

And if it matters, choosing a pegasus as a mount. Unless somehow I can get a good-aligned nightmare at equal paladin level

The prestige domain will, in fact, give you a bonus spell at each level. The cost of rhino hide as list would actually be 1500, but since, as you say, that's far too cheap, I'll call it a +1 bonus equivalent. The pegasus is fine.

 

[Pyrex]

All core 3.5 material is acceptable

...

Edit: Everyone who has so far expressed interest is in. That's about all there's room for.

Woo hoo! Just made it in!

Paxus, what do you think of the Book of Exalted Deeds?
It may be asking for a world of hurt, but I've got an Exalted Paladin concept kicking around my brain. I've been pondering the ramifications of Vow of Poverty and believe (but cannot prove) that in epic levels it's not broken. (though I don't yet have an epic progression for it to propose)

I have mixed feelings on the BoED. I think I will allow Vow of Poverty with the number of bonus exalted feats decreased to 1/4 levels, rather than 1/2 with one at first. Everything else seems to match up with what a character of that level should have (the +8 enhancement is a bit high, but you do pay two feats for it), but the 11 bonus feats is too much.

I like the idea, I've always wanted to try a fantasy/future game...but at Epic levels the concept of industrialized high magic becomes a difficult tackling point for PCs and DMs alike. I'd be interested in playing, and in watching how it develops as well...
