Immortals Handbook - ASCENSION

As for the second, that's maximum advancement, which is also a Cosmic ability. Seems about right to me.

I'm just curious since it's four times as good as the single portfolio numerically, while most abilities double in strength.

Advertisements suck...that was weird

Krusty...are you revamping the templates to make them more in line with the divine, cosmic, ect. abilities? Cuz some have abilities that are so closely matched but are differently labeled.


And are you reintroducing Fecundity?

Oh..and Why are Demiurges extraplanar...wouldnt they be simultaneously extraplanar and native?

Hey guys!

I'll update at about 10:30 pm tonight (GMT) - about 5 1/4 hours from now.

After that I'll go back and respond to the posts I have missed.

Disorganised comments:
Shield of Kindness is an interesting ability. I like it a lot.

You really need to finish War Torn. It had me confused and alarmed for a moment.

I love the second clause for Lament of Law (the double portfolio version).

The alignment clause in the Fertility description should be an ethical (Law-Chaos) issue, if it should be there at all.

I see you have finished the Labour domain.

Are those new spells I see in the Science domain?

U_K, can you provide some examples of Uncanny Wind Mastery. I'm working on my version of Odin and its effects seem kind of nebulous. It is supposed to be some kind of knockback effect?

You're lucky today's my birthday and this is such a nice "present," or I'd be upset over this delay, Krusty.

Happy Birthday WarDragon !!!

Ideas

Blade [Effect] (Su)
Your [Effect] ability manifests as tangible blades.
Prerequisites:[Effect] Ability, Immortal.

You know I almost had an ability in Ascension called Weapon [Effect]. Which was basically like a sort of flechette/shard/metal [Effect]. But it just seemed a bit hokey and in terms of damage was the same as Force [Effect]. So I just thought it would be more likely that War deities (for example) would have Force effects shaped like weapons.

Although, that said, I like the idea of the chains, reminds me of Hellraiser.

Porcelain mask!? Thats very cool. I like it.

Thats not bad.

Don't feel you need to mention dead magic negating a (Su) ability every time.
