immortals handbook

Hey, could you stat out The Authority from image comics? Apollo, the Midnighter, the Doctor, the Engineer, Swift, and Jack Hawksmoor? After all, they're frequently referred to as a pantheon.

Unfortunately I am totally unfamiliar with any of the above, sorry. :(

I pretty much know the Marvel Continuum like the back of my hand, and I know a little of the DC Continuum; thats about it with regards comics though (not forgetting Hellboy of course).
 

Awesome UK, your system CAN handle Thanos w/Infinity Gauntlet:) :) :)

BTW - I downloaded your revised CR/EL .pdf posted awhile back. By my calculations, IG Thanos, who is CR 13000, would be 50/50 vs. 320 Paragon Great Prismatic Wyrms!!!! :D :D :D


Man, I can't wait til' you release this material!!:)
 

Err, it seems in my zealousness I miscalculated IG Thanos's strength relative to the Paragon Prismatic Great Wyrms :( - Please accept my apologies.

Actually, assuming UK's CR/EL .pdf holds (and my extrapolation therefrom), IG Thanos would be 50/50 vs. APPROXIMATELY 7130 PARAGON PRISMATIC GREAT WYRMS!!!!! KICK ARSE :D :D :D :D

I reiterate my apologies for the mistatement, just working diligently to catch up.

Man, now I really can't wait to get get my hands on the IH!!!!:p
 

Hiya historian mate! :)

I think so.

Remember that was merely an early playtest version. The proper version (3.5 compliant) should be available soon. ;)

Well a Paragon Prismatic Great Wyrm would be around CR 150 in my system (off the top of my head) which is EL 29.

IG Thanos would be CR 13,000 which makes him about EL 55.

This makes a difference of 26 EL which is the equivalent of 8192 Paragon Prismatic Great Wyrms...of course its possible I have taken a few liberties deciding on the dragons CR so your figure could be more accurate in this instance.

However, all that said and done its unlikely that any number of Paragon Prismatic Great Wyrms could honestly threaten IG-Thanos. Once you go beyond 8 EL you are generally considered 'out of their league' regardless of CR.

Any individual less than CR 3,250 wouldn't stand a chance.

Though Thanos did lower the Gauntlets power to try and impress Mistress Death giving the heroes a miniscule percentage of success.

Its debateable whether or not the Cosmic beings like Galactus and Eternity actually had a chance themselves when Thanos brought the Gauntlet back up to full power.

I appreciate the love mate! :D
 

Ohhh.... great. Now the forums will be crowded with people playing their own little DBZ campaigns. I bet this will lead to an increase in the number of times the word "WOOT!" is used on these boards :)

Couldn't you make a warning on the back of the book? "Using this material to duplicate any effects found in Dragonball Z could lead to blindness, deafness, loss of fertility and eventually death". Seems to work on cigarettes :)

.... well my dad could still kick his ass...

Anyways, you never considered making it apart from ELH / D&DG rules? What if one of the books are not included in the OGL, will you be unable of publishing them then?

Glad to hear that you weren't planning on calling it an Astral-Lich, that way I can keep the name of my sorcerer-lich intact ;)

Will any of those lovely Hellsing abilities be duplicated in some form? Hard not to get affected by a show like that...
 

Hiya Clay_More mate! :)

...blindness, deafness, loss of fertility and eventually death and destruction of your entire planet more like. :p

Of course I have considered it, and if you had told me a year ago I would still have been waiting I would have jumped at the chance.

At the moment I am scaling things down to the bare minimum so I really only need the Salient Divine Abilities (from D&Dg) and the Epic Feats (from the ELH). The rest is irrelevant. In fact if they keep stalling (if theres still no joy by the end of August) I may go the whole hog and redo what needs to be done.

The main problem with that idea though is that most of the epic feats and salient divine abilities I would need to create (to fill the void) would be virtual duplicates of whats already there and I can see that leading to more confusion than not.

Cheeky. :D

To be honest it was always going to be called the Astral Shadow (Eidolon).

I couldn't possibly comment. :p
 

Two questions:

What are the levels of divine abilities again? Salient, Omnific, Metempiric...?

Is there any level at which you feel even your CR system would break down?
 

Hiya mate! :)

Salient Divine Abilities are called Divine Gifts in the Immortals Handbook.

So you would have:

Mortal Feats
Divine Gifts
Cosmic Gifts
Omnific Gifts
Metempiric Gifts

No.
