Immortals Handbook Epic Bestiary (now available)

[Upper_Krust]

Hiya mate!

U_K, only three days left (IIRC) to submit the Bestiary to the ENnies. Is everything taken care of?

Yes, although you just reminded me I forgot to paypal them the $5 fee* (although don't worry, they won't have received my entries through the post yet...I sent them last Thursday).

*Just sent it.

Thanks for keeping tabs on me.

Hey, I know I said I wasn't going to do this, but I did it anyway. Full stats for Bahamut, according to the IH: Here.

Looks to me like the Lord of the North Wind has a bit of an advantage over the Creator of Evil Dragonkind... fast healing and a horn that smites? Plus the whole powerful dire charge thing, and more HD to boot. No wonder that for all Tiamat's hatred of Bahamut, she hasn't simply gone and torn his throat out. She isn't simply avoiding a fight that could go either way, she's holding back from getting herself slaughtered. And Bahamut hasn't gone and killed Tiamat mostly because he's merciful, and might still be holding out hope for her...

I wonder what would happen if the two ever mated...

The two would'nt mate; they are brother and sister (both born of Io millennia ago)

Puh-leeze. Can you seriously claim that Tiamat, given her alignment, wouldn't mate with a brother if it advanced her goals in some way? Be serious.

As a completely random side thought, at least my postcount is still in double digits at least... sigh.

I didn't know that. I guess the next step will require statting out Io... he'd have to be Adamic, I'm guessing. Pity that neither the Cometary nor the Void dragon really fit.

Hmm.

I wonder if Gestalting the 9 dragon types with the cometary dragon would work...

That's hardly a deterrent. Classical mythology is filled with divine incest, many times wth no real upset or consequences.

Io, or rather the Adamic Dragon race from which Io springs (Stellar Dragon) will be in Volume 2 of the Bestiary.

What other dragons would people like to see in there? I was thinking Quasar Dragon, Stellar Dragon, and maybe two epic dragons. Any thoughts on which dragon classes you would like to see?

Platinum = Draco-Paladin
Polychromatic = Draco-Sorcerer
Timber = Draco-Druid
Titanium = Draco-Knight

Force Dragon = ? (Draco-Wizard perhaps)
Prismatic Dragon = ? (Draco-Ranger maybe)

So you still have, the

Draco-Barbarian = Rune Dragon
Draco Bard = I kind of like Anabstercorians interpretation, the Transuranic Dragon
Draco-Cleric =
Draco-Monk =
Draco-Psion = Diamond Dragon
Draco-Rogue = Achromatic Dragon

I am sure I have names for those other Dragons somewhere.

Well, I'd like to see the Diamond dragon and Draco-Monk, myself. Don't forget to make a Draco-Psychic Warrior, Draco-Wilder, and Draco-Soulknife as well!

I have to admit though, I'm not too keen on the name Diamond dragon, mostly because it's been done before. Maybe the Fullerite dragon instead?

I'm most interested in what nehaschemic dragon we're going to see next, though.

The Draco-Monk has 6 legs.

Don't forget to make a Draco-Psychic Warrior, Draco-Wilder, and Draco-Soulknife as well!

I nearly spat my drink over myself with that one.

I think I may leave those up to individual DMs.

Interesting. Though I prefer the name Ultra Dragon to Fullerite Dragon, even though it does sound a bit Final Fantasy-ish.

I'm most interested in what nehaschemic dragon we're going to see next, though.

Quasar Dragon in Vol. 2
Black Hole Dragon in Vol. 3

The reason being that with the Umbrals in Vol. 2 I don't want to go over my jet black monster quota for one book.

Snow white isn't significantly better off.

Do you need a material/theme for the cleric/monk dragons?

Also, would you quit talking about the second bestiary? It's ridiculous enough that you released the first bestiary without the rules to use it, but trying to get us excited about the second one, when we still have no assurance that your actual divine rules will be any good - and to be dead frank, your first published draft of the bestiary was riddled with fairly significant errors, and I'm still disconcerted by your decision to not to change seventh sense in to something that can actually be used. Quit waving your e-dick around until there's some substance to it.

Actually, shouldn't the Rune Dragon be the Wizard? Runes are typically associated with magic, and at least some form of scholarship, so it looks like the best fit to me. The Diamond and Achromatic Dragons sound very cool in their own right, particularly if you equate Achromatic with a Rogue!

And why reinterpret the Force and Prismatic Dragons at all? In my own game, I already have an explanation for their existence which has nothing to do with the IH Epic Dragons- I actually refer to the IH "Epic" dragons as "Divine Dragons" in acknowledgement of the fact that they have effective divine ranks (among other things). I'm using the Polychromatics as instigators of a civil war among "true" dragons, and the ELH Epic Dragons (along with three others of my own design) as an invading force also instigated by the Polychromatics, all of this instigation being a means of weakening the world in preparation for a coming demonic invasion.

I agree about the Transuranic Dragon- that severely rocked! Anabstercorian, did you save that post so it can be reposted and finished?
