Immortals Handbook Epic Bestiary (now available)

[Upper_Krust]

Hello again dante!

the multiple symbol effects are my responsibility as the player to keep track of. I roll to see how many times the victim saves. Then they roll their saves. Most creatures by epic level are immune to the symbol spells due to their hit dice or saving throw modifiers. As for the soul gem...it allows him to use his akalich abilities to their fullest. His other soul gems are hidden in living vaults.

It just seems like far, FAR too many rolls to contemplate in a melee.

Krusty...that blindsight thing....how many feet...or is it 8 miles..based on their divine rank?

600 feet.

It is a bit much for rolling, thats why we just assume that anyone with a high enough save bonus would be immune to that. Only rarely would lower level individuals get struck by it, and even then...the damge alone would outright kill them so we just ignore it. It's reserved for the stupid who would dare touch it at low level. Kinda like the Ark of the Covenant...no touchy. Of course we have yet to have anyone be that crazy. The mere presence of Azrael is frightning enough to keep low levelers in line.

Incidently I think I have the Maskim at CR 55 in the Print Version.

That seems somewhat better. While the Maskim (CR 60) and Malakim (CR 61) have similar Challenge Ratings, and bonuses to hit (at a full attack), the Malakim has a MUCH better armor class, but comparatively worse saves and spell resistance.

Has anyone here ever used Central Castings:Heroes of Legend?

Excellent book. If you can find it. Im trying to find all versions of it.

The reason I ask is because I think maybe you could do a more up to date version of it Krusty.

For epic characters.

Hey dante dude!

Basically its an Occam's Razor nightmare. Never overcomplicate something if you can easily avoid it.

Heres an idea. Instead of posting jive like the above and just leaving it, why don't you edit it with the next post you are going to make, instead of creating an all new post.

...because you think I don't have enough on my plate as it is that I should start revising someones elses material.

Hey U_K!

Cool fight!

Both the Maskim and your version of Demogorgon are fun to play around with. Maskim are absolute murder on anything they can melee.

Demogorgon would need three artifacts to counterbalance the Maskim exactly. But he's not really the artifact type Demogorgon, at least not in the conventional sense.

On his home plane I'd definately give Demogorgon the advantage though.

I had them going at it on neutral ground; say Gehenna maybe.

Because of his DR and regeneration types and level and ability drain Demogorgon matches up well vs. evil beings. I suspect he would have a much tougher time against a Malakim for instance.

Incidently I think I have the Maskim at CR 55 in the Print Version.

My impression is that CR 55-61 is right on the money. It's almost a function of the "Power Set" idea that you expand on in the "Theory of Superhero Relativity."

At any level but particularly so as you begin to scale upwards I've found that some things just match up better with others, a la George Foreman vs. Joe Frazier vs. Muhammad Ali.

At the moment I am not sure what the best way of dealing with the artifacts vs. no artifacts discrepancy.

Good luck my man and, of course, don't hesitate to let me know if I can help.

U_K, I enjoyed the website update.

It would appear, at least from the scans that I've seen that all is in pretty good shape, though admittedly I haven't seen too much to point.

U_K!
The stuff you posted for the Old Ones is pretty cool. I definitly like that you put the Lady of Pain at the Old One rank, and didn't opt for what the Planescape gurus tend to say "OMG OVERPOWER! LOL" (Not trying to offend those who like the Planescape setting, but everytime the discussion of the Lady comes up that is what I see )
Though I have some questions about Algol
You have said he is very much like a certain Cthulu Mythos Overdiety, does he also bear similar portfolios? I don't read too much Lovecraft (Hardly any... ) but a few sources say that he is a god of Radiation. Is Algol such a god? Or did you put some spin on him?
Also, his race is listed as "Psudonatural." Is he like a Zoa, a specific kind/race if Zoa, (Like a Cogent), or something else entirely?
Can't wait for Ascension. (Though, due to linear timeline constraints, I must)
