[QUOTE="Fieari, post: 5997736, member: 16221"] A little more background on my campaign. There is a character known as "The Necromancer" who is trying to utilize Byss to break through the Great Wall and attempt to confront the Supreme Being... or at least peruse the Akashic Records. In particular, The Necromancer intends to cast a ritual spell that happens to utilize an entire plane as a spell component, consuming it in the process, destroying it's past, present, and future in one fell swoop. Which leads me to think that this Umbral may be Anti-Space/Time. Except its duration would be somewhat comparable to the heat-death of the universe. I'm definitely leaning more towards utilizing timelines as weapons now. They'll need to create splinter universes and use each splinter universe as a single-use weapon, destroying that universe in the process (for simplicity, say that the umbral's HP are its defenses, and at first those are being taken down, and then the final blow that kills the umbral destroys the timeline). The splinter universe that they'll create will be actualized in the form of a sword or other similar melee (or even ranged) weapon. I've already established the creation of splinter universes via manipulation of the Etherial Plane. (I've given the players artifacts related to each of the time planes that they can use at the cost of sanity) So now the question will be how to forge the splinters into weapons. A mere ritual just doesn't seem enough, somehow... Perhaps the splinter timelines would have guardian spirits? That they'd have to either kill or capture in order to forge the blades? Incidentally, I haven't ordered the Vampire Bestiary yet (though I intend to soon). Does it contain any Umbrals, or will I need to stat those up myself for the moment? [/QUOTE]
