Hey Ltheb dude!
Ltheb Silverfrond said:Real quick question (Wait, you don't believe me? ). Will Ascension feature *some* of your rules governing immortal Artifact Creation and/or Spellcasting? As in, could you use it stand-alone without the Grimoir and build a complete immortal, or does the grimoir hold the bulk of the info on spellcasting and Artifact creation?
Ascension will have very basic artifact approximation rules (as will the printed version of the Bestiary). So you'll be able to 'create' epic magic items that approximate to artifacts, but they won't have the unique bits that make artifacts different. It would be self-defeating for me to add such rules to Ascension.
Beyond the Automatic Metamagic Capacity/Metamagic Freedom, you'll have to wait for the Grimoire before I divulge that.
In other news...
Regarding deity Challenge Rating (when Transcendental and Omnific Powers are present) the aforementioned x2 and x10 multipliers were to be considered speculative at this point. I am not even sure if we will need them. Also I am not even sure if the Neutronium Golem's Challenge Rating is accurate.
Anothere element of Challenge Ratings I have noticed is that I don't think Cosmic Gods will have the standard 4 artifacts, but instead only one, if even that. At least this will be true of the examples, I'm not enforcing it on NPCs/PCs. Of course this means they take a CR hit if they don't have their full artifacts. I am not sure of the full nuances of this yet, nor whether they should have one artifact valued at all their wealth - which I think could be unbalanced.
