Immortals Handbook - ASCENSION

[Rockhoward56]

hello

Thanks U-K for your answers!
About the SDA of Deities and Demigods could I utilise them with your modifications on you're site?
Maybe a revision would be great?

And maybe it'd be a waste of time... the SDAs from DDG are slurry and unstratified. Besides, most anything in there can be found in some (usually more detailed) form in UK's text, and that's sans a complete edition.

Hey guys!

I think my revisions of the Salient Divine Abilities probably need revising.

Notably I'm still referring to 1 Divine Ability = 5 feats (when it should be 6).

Hello again!

I mean to ask you guys which of the Epic/Divine/Cosmic etc. abilities should be illustrated within the book.

I don't expect to do more than ten in that chapter (maybe 2 epic, 4 divine, 2 cosmic, 1 transcendental and 1 omnific).

Any suggestions?

Hello again!

Any suggestions?

While illustrations of various [Effect] abilities might be nice eye candy, a broad range of powers may be better.
My humble suggestions.
Epic - Amazing Pockets, and Three Weapon Fighting (Alabastor is more than a three [six] weapon fighter; He's a force of nature)
Divine - Goetic Blood, (Classic mythology. Plus its fun to have a deity bleed tarrasques) Time Stealer, ("I got your future!") Theopoea, (I picture temple raiders in a dire situation involving many stone golems) Vanguard [Whatever] (A deities aura shielding mortals from dragon's breath)
Cosmic - ATOMIC EFFECT!!! ... and a 3 way tie between Specular (Beings striking a deity but themselves showing wounds), Oblique strike (Like the description), and Critical Mass (Appeals to the DBZ fans with a barbarian who is so angry he may literally explode!)
Transcendant - Tie between Transtemporal (I picture a monk/fighter spring-attacking through time and pummleing a foe with attacks/after images) and Transgenic (A warrior reviving, absorbing all kinds of crazy energies, with a foe in the BG walking away, with the same energies around him.)
Omnific - Absolute (A crazy-powerful Timelord reflecting the concerted attacks of others back at them. And an excuse to sneak in other effects)

My suggestions...

Epic: I will cry if you don't illustrate Sideways Stealing. That feat is the most epic thing around. Stealing the color of a princess's eyes... man... you can't get much better than that. This feat is of the least combat/espionage sort of use, and the GREATEST roleplaying use.

Divine: Gotta go with Ltheb here... Goetic Blood and Theopoea would make good pictures. I can't imagine how Time Stealer would be illustrated though...

Cosmic: Nuclear explosions are pretty epic. But other than Atomic effect, Chimerical would be cool to see.

Transcendental: Transtemporal vs someone with Cosmic String. Past/Present/Future attacking one guy. You could emphasize this by showing the attacker at three different ages? Evil versus Inner Eye could also be cool. Like the Eye of Sauron facing a "Third Eye"?

Omnific: A tough one, they'd all be tricky to convey. But Omnispective could work, with the lord in question surrounded by images...

Yo
Was thinking about Cosmic Consciousness and Omniperspective: what's the big difference with the two abilities?

Equilibrium is a must have !!!! a bit too strong wityh the infinte abilities no?

 

[Servitor of Wrath]

Epic: Amazing Pockets, and PLEASE one of the Eclectic feats! Or maybe Prehensile Hair?

Divine: Distant Gaze could be interesting. I must second Theopea, Goetic Blood, and Time Stealer.

Cosmic: Atomic Effect. Create Legacy. Next!

Transcendental: Transversal is my suggestion. Perhaps an immortal swinging a sword and space "scrunching" up to bring the sword into contact with the unlucky target.

Omnific: Ooh, that's a toughie...I'd go with either Absolute or Omnispective.

U_K answered this at Dicefreaks. Basically, Cosmic Consciousness lets you see clearly as far as you want, but you can't see THROUGH solid objects or around corners, and you can't see anything you're not looking at. As they put it on Dicefreaks, it's merely the telescopic vision of "Pre-crisis Superman" (sans X-ray, of course).

Omniperspective has no such limitations. You see EVERYTHING.
