Immortals Handbook Epic Bestiary (now available)

Hey U_K!

Whichever works best for you.

Though personally I wouldn't necessarily double its Hit Dice, I'd just add a virtual size category since its more of a 'virtual'* size change.

*Or at least surreal.

Whoops.

Thanks, only 10 days away. Good luck on the home stretch!

yoooooooo

very good news
can't wait for this stuff
Surtur preview release is near ?
impressive transcendental abilities!
i' have a question for you U_K (as always): what's exactly are the mazzaroth?
Are they Timelords? very powerful? weak?

Does anyone know any relatively inexpensive webhosts? Preferably (but not necessarily) UK based, posting cheques to America is just an annoyance because you have to pay for the conversion extra postage and it takes far longer. It would also be a plus if I could find one that could be sorted via paypal.

Depending on how you define "relatively inexpensive" webhosts, I would recommend www.lunarpages.com. I've got two sites hosted there, and haven't had a problem, plus they accept paypal.

Hey Rockhoward dude!

very good news

I appreciate the support guys!

Surtur preview release is near ?

Well one thing at a time. Surtur is in the Appendix. The Chapters are going to be finished in the following order:

2, 1, 4, 3, Appendix.

i' have a question for you U_K (as always): what's exactly are the mazzaroth? Are they Timelords? very powerful? weak?

The Mazzaroth (Spectrals) are beings who police the 9th Dimension. The 9th Dimension is like a big diamond/mirrored wall made of the densest possible matter. Beings that venture too close beome stuck to it. Those with infinite strength who won't be stuck, will find the mazzaroth barring their path. Anyone trying to enter the 10th dimension (where the Supreme Being lives) has to fight 12 Mazzaroth (one at a time). Each mazzaroth has the exact same powers/items as the antagonist (although all have infinite strength obviously). The 12 Mazzaroth bear the likenesses of the zodiacal beings.

So no matter how tough you are, you only have a 1 in 4096 chance of penetrating the Great Wall (9th Dimension).

Hey there Edhelhur!

Thanks very much. That could prove to be a godsend, although my website seems to have been switched back on for the moment.

The website in the link seems to offer a basic package that is $1/month more expensive than my current package but offers 100 times more webspace.

...and that Paypal thing could be a lifesaver.

So if I get any more grief I'll probably switch over.

yop

Thank you Uk as always!
The Spectrals are terrific!
Even a extrapowerful High Lord could not enter in the 10th Dimension!
Have you errated the CR of the nexus dragon or not?
In one of your adventure idea , you talk about the missing heads of the Void dragons, could a Void Dragon regain or "acquire his head"? Would it be more powerful?
Transcendental powers are cool , omnific powers would be very great too

The most powerfuls beings know are: 1) Supreme Beings 2)High Lords & Spectrals 3) Time Lords?

How you dream this stuff up I'll never know. It's awesome.

U_K!
Thanks for the Info!
Unless the Mazzaroth get numerous bonuses/powers across the board, the easiest way to win would be to give a commoner Infinite Strength and Dexterity, (probobly easier said than done) and send him in. He has just as much chance of winning as anyone else. (.02% )
Historian!
I think this question is best left unanswered. He seems to get alot from biblical mythology and other assorted religeous texts. (the names anyway)
As for the nexus dragon - It doesnt specifically say it gets more Hit Dice each virtual size increase, but it does get more Strength, con, and natural AC. At best it would give the dragon a limited fast healing effect, but Its HP would stay mostly the same. (Though, since it can cast any kind of epic spell it wants in any round, it would probobly just cast a contingent full-heal+ressurection on itself round one, and recast it after it goes off. )
The epic spellcasting abilities of the dragon, I think, are its most dangerous quality, since it allows it to defeat any attack that its potent defences don't allready counter.
A Great Wyrm Nexus Dragon would make a great mount. (For a level 30000 Paladin anyway)
EDIT: U_K! Your website still works for me. Maybe you just can't acess it...

Thank you Uk as always!

My pleasure mate !

Indeed.

Have you errated the CR of the nexus dragon or not?

I didn't touch it for the Print Bestiary, simply because I wasn't sure one way or the other. When I work it out I'll let you know.

Technically if you use the Ascension progression in the book instead of just Character Levels (etc.) then the Nexus Dragon is right and the Neutronium Golem is wrong. Simply because if everyone is gaining divine, cosmic and transcendental powers as they ascend then it all evens out.

The problem is the effect of things like Transcendental Powers upon ECL.

In one of your adventure idea , you talk about the missing heads of the Void dragons,

Yes I thought that was a cool adventure idea. An alabaster plane with void black heads growing like trees.

could a Void Dragon regain or "acquire his head"? Would it be more powerful?

Maybe. Or it might start to eat itself.

Transcendental powers are cool , omnific powers would be very great too

You mean for Void Dragon heads? Or just in general? Or as previews?

The most powerfuls beings know are: 1) Supreme Beings 2)High Lords & Spectrals 3) Time Lords?

Well technically I list half a dozen other types of Eternal encounters in the book like Transelementals. In fact I generally list about half a dozen creatures of each divine class. Some from the IH Bestiary (naturally), but some others that will be new to you, just monster ideas at this point, but I always like teasing a few things.

I also mention some beings beyond the Akashic Records, but you'll just have to wait to read about them.
