[QUOTE="RUMBLETiGER, post: 5613261, member: 6674868"] I will pass this along, thanks! Yes, the goal is to add highlander-style concepts into the generic D&D setting. This is a useful mechanic, We'll toy with it. This is alos a useful mechanic. we haven't figured how Quickening bonuses will work yet. You guys are absolutely right. This is incredibly desirable. PCs, with all the free will of PCs, can attempt to acquire this. There will be categories of Immortals that are very old, and therefore epic level class characters that will be seriously difficult to kill. There also may be the opportunity to find and try to protect new immortals, which my the mechanic could be killed for their immortality, but this would be an evil act for Good aligned characters. Now, an Evil character could kill a young immortal, and the PC's could than kill that Evil character, gaining the immortality without the moral dilemma. that could also be an option. Finally, the Immortals are seriously rare. if there are 4 or 5 PCs in the game, it's unlikely all off them will kill an immortal and gain the immortality, so how would the PC's decide who gets to live forever? I agree, to tell PCs that they will play alongside immortals, with a mechanic to gain immortality, and forbid them to gain it, would be cruel. I'm just saying it'll be tough. Great questions, Dunno. we'll have to chew on those questions. Maybe return to life as a mortal? Yeah, those spells will stay in. The rest of the D&D world goes on like standard, it just has these rare characters throughout. [/QUOTE]
