[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 180162, member: 326"] [b]Re: Finally...[/b] Hey guys! :) I was up to 4:30am reading the book last night... :eek: I have already spotted a number of issues I will contest. The main issue that gave me pause was the terrible waste of space in the book repeating obvious material. They should have purposely worked stuff into a template: eg. Divine Immunities - under every deities description they reprint virtually (modified by status) the same list. Senses - just state the range. Automatic Actions - just state the DC. Create Magic Items - this paragraph is always irrelevant. Spell-like Abilities - Do we really need these listed every time (above Level and DC anyway)? Once you know the Domains you are just repeating the same material. Domain Powers - Again probably better explained elsewhere. After all that we have removed the best part of three-quarters of a column from each deity. With 81 deities in the book that means we have saved 30+ pages already! I suppose its a case of 'never send a mortal to do a gods work!' ;) I'm still reading over things but don't worry I'll sort it all out. [/QUOTE]
