[QUOTE="dante58701, post: 4209570, member: 40336"] Of course if an actual DM is involved, anything with abilities far exceeding an immortal will surely kill said immortal in one round (or less with transtemporal). This is just more munchkinism. Any rule, no matter how well balanced can easily be abused without proper Dungeon Mastering. This is why we have DM's...to kill off smartalecky PCs that have extremly deadly and unrealistic combinations of abilities. Example: I am a 1st level Human that has been granted the Hero-Deity template. I trade in all my artifacts for more divine abilities and pump up my aura. Then I take the Double Death portfolios and pump up my save DC via various other feats and divine abilities. The DEATH effect portion of my aura now drops even gods like flies and I have no more friends because I killed everyone who approached me. Rectification: A Barbarian Fertility god with Double Fertility portfolios comes along and rends my head off after he makes his pumped up saving throw against my Death effect. In short...anything ridiculous can be overcome. SIDENOTE FOR KRUSTY - ABADOX...as in ABADOX for NES. What exactly would that nasty flemball of a planetoid creature be? Anyone interested in writing it up? A lot of people here are interested in seeing it and it's inner creatures written up. Purely for horror and nostalgia.
