Immortals Handbook Epic Bestiary (now available)

Hey Alzrius mate!

Hey U_K, this is rather overdue, but I've updated my original review of the IH Epic Bestiary. That review was based on version 1.2 or so, and it didn't seem fair to keep having people view that the work was only 4/5 stars, based on errors that were no longer there. Sorry that took so long!

I am stiill surprised that there are no reviews on ENWorld to be honest.

Perhaps after the Ennies or after the Print Version is released...?

However, the bookmarks are only for the beginning sections, monsters, and the new material at the end. The myriad new magic weapon qualities, artifacts, and epic spells are not themselves bookmarked.

v1.5 has bookmarks for everything.

and then presents to example Legendary creatures.

Do you mean two sample Legendary Creatures.

Thanks for the update though mate!

B'oh! I knew there were a few grammatical errors in there that I didn't catch. They're all fixed now. Thanks U_K!

Hey U_K!
Any idea of when/how the playtest document will be distributed? I don't think you want to post it on your site (It is down anyway) but if your site is down does that mean your email isn't working? That might be a good secure means, just to email it to people.
Barring that, alot of Chat programs (AIM, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, Skype etc) have File transfer options. I am not too familiar with FTP programs but I have used AIM and Skype to send and recieve files. They are slow though, and the other person has to be online to receive the files (I think they have to click some "OK download" button).
I hope everything gets worked out.

dante,

Would you please quit posting your "creations" all the time? It's bizarre, some of this stuff you post. For example, the Orichalcum Golem has *nothing* to do with Marvels Colossus; the Orichalcum Golem is based off the Asgardian Destroyer, a construct designed to fight the Celestials. Then you go on about having multiple Amidah in your game... just give it a break.

Hey U_K!

Hiya mate!

Any idea of when/how the playtest document will be distributed?

When its finished which doesn't look like it will be before Sunday (I am at Q-Con on Saturday) and probably will take me until Monday/Tuesday at this rate. Even then that will only be for half the Playtest document. Technically it should only take me a 2-3 days to finish off each chapter.

But I have just been panicking (as usual) and worrying, when I should be finishing.

I am up to my old tricks again, of doing a bit here and there instead of going through it one page at a time and getting it sorted.

Sorry about the delay guys, but this is me remember.

In the meantime I'll add the contents page to the preview in about 20 minutes...technically its only 2/3rds of the content page (since its 1 1/2 pages) but that will work to keep a few surprises in store a little longer.

I don't think you want to post it on your site (It is down anyway) but if your site is down does that mean your email isn't working? That might be a good secure means, just to email it to people.
Barring that, alot of Chat programs (AIM, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, Skype etc) have File transfer options.

They are slow though, and the other person has to be online to receive the files (I think they have to click some "OK download" button).
I hope everything gets worked out.

Don't worry about playtest distribution, I'll be doing that via email, which is unaffeceted by my current website woes which I plan to have sorted soon anyway.

Easy tiger! No need for hostility. I already had a word with dante earlier.

I like some of his off the wall ideas and campaign stuff, and appreciate his enthusiasm. Although I think the thread is better served by posting his ideas and a bit less of mine.

That said, there is certainly a place for homebrew monsters and characters using parts of the Epic Bestiary...the wikipedia for instance, where all the others are posted. With my website down, I don't have the link at hand though.

Wow, 1 & 1/2 pages? Thats either extreamly detailed or theres alot to cover. (Probobly both). I can't wait to see it. (However, since I exist in 4 dimentional space, and yet percieve only 3 dimentions, the 4th dimention of time remains outside my realm of perception.)

The Table of Contents is now up, although you only get the first page.

There are a few minor mistakes I have noticed (and already changed) like Chapter One being called Ascension when its actually called Apotheosis.

Incidently I just did an early build of the Time Lord (aka Dabbat: The Great Beast/The World Beast) at CR 13,333.

The High Lord (who shall remain nameless for now) weighs in at CR 32,888,889*

Both CRs are proprietry but probably not too far off the mark.

*and thats probably below average for a High Lord....I was going to go with one called Domodon Doxomedon who had a CR just under a trillion, but we can save him for another day.

WOW. Just, WOW.
Why even waste time building a neutronium golem? Anything that would even concern such a being would surly lay waste to one. A Strong Symetric Matter Golem on the other hand...

Oh, any reason theres no Air, Earth or Water porfolios, but there are Sky, Mountain, and Sea portfolios? Theres a Fire Portfolio though...
I would have Mountain under an Earth portfolio, any reason as to why this decision was made?

And so few pages for so many feats and powers? Small font, or condensed text?
