Immortals Handbook - ASCENSION

Divine Sensory Alteration [Psionic]
You completely control the sensory effects of your divine powers.
Prerequisites:Sensory Alteration [Psionic]
Benefit:All incidental cosmetic effects of divine powers are controlled by the deity, allowing them to create whatever sensory effects they desire. This occurs automatically and never counts as an action on the part of the deity. The incidental cosmetic effects can mimic any power of up to 4th level.
Normal:Sensory effects are standardized according to the campaign.

Cosmic Sensory Alteration [Psionic]
You completely control the sensory effects of your cosmic powers.
Prerequisitesivine Sensory Alteration, Sensory Alteration [Psionic]
Benefit:All incidental cosmetic effects of cosmic powers are controlled by the deity, allowing them to create whatever sensory effects they desire. This occurs automatically and never counts as an action on the part of the deity. The incidental cosmetic effects can mimic any power of up to 5th level.
Normal:Sensory effects are standardized according to the campaign.

Unless I read these wrong, all these powers let you do is determine the "flavor" or "special effects" of your divine+ powers. (Like making a divine blast look like a whirling horizontal tornado, etc)
While I think a god's powers would already be thematically linked to his portfolios, these do give the added effect of letting him "fake out" his foes, I guess by making his divine powers resemble Psionic powers.
In all, I would say the cosmic one is not powerful enough to warrent it's tier; It and all its Transcendent and Omnific variations could just be lumped into the divine one.
That is, unless you could use these powers to fake out a foe with no chance of percieving the ruse. Then, yea, I guess they would be a bit too strong. ("This isn't an Astro [Storm]... Its... uh... Ultrablast?")

They are intended to fake people out, magical variations on this theme would also exist. These were intended for a psionic variant of a lesser deity. Speaking of which, krusty should do psionic variants...or do a page that shows the changes that would be applied. A lot of people love psionics. Especially sci-fi buffs like me.


Baelwulf ..is that spelled right?

Anywhoo...what would he be and what divine abilities would he have. Im thinking about statting out baelwulf, grendal, and grendals mother just for giggles.

But I want to do it right so you guys wont pull out the super eraser.

Hey guys!

Meant to say, if you can think of any Feat Packages (especially Class based Feat Packages) that I haven't already thought of feel free to offer suggestions.

I think I have enough for another 5.

I don't have Divine Sorcerer or Divine Psion. Other possibles would include Divine Assassin, Divine Dwarven Defender.

Hi, UK.

Question: What is Perfect Toughness? It's listed as the prerequisite for a few abilities but doest exist itself in the text, unless I'm blind.

Thanks

Hiya matey!

Thats a mistake, it should be Supreme Toughness (or Supreme Toughness should be Perfect Toughness, one or the other, I haven't decided which yet).

Basically it means maximum hit points per die.

I'm something of a psionics buff, and I'd like to do a feat package for Divine Psion, but there aren't any psionic feats so far in Ascension, are there? I haven't received an update in a while (since U_K hasn't needed errata yet), so maybe there are additions of which I'm not aware.

 

[Rockhoward56]

Yo U-K

Hi Alzrius mate!

No there are no psionic based powers in the IH. I just don't feel personally well versed enough in the latest Psionics rules (I didn't get round to buying any of the last two Psionic books) to do much with them.

But I'd like to, I don't want to leave Psionic players out.

Hey Rock dude!

Yo U-K
i have bought ascension beta 1.0 (it's great) but ,

I know you did.

not totally finished.

Thats true.

When the next update?

Saturday 30th September.

how to download it?

I'm not totally sure - would someone who has re-downloaded help explain?

Portfolios in the next update?

Probably. Not too many though.

Thanks and good work!

I appreciate the support mate!
