immortals handbook

[CRGreathouse]

I'm honoured!

Well, if you're lucky, it will get someone's attention. It's like free advertising (but not!).

I do have a serious question, though. If a person (say, me) wanted to implement divine ranks and could not be convinced to drop them, does the IH support the finer gradation of power (i.e., many 1 DR 'templates' that add up to each rank)?

Hi CRGreathouse mate!

Well, if you're lucky, it will get someone's attention. It's like free advertising (but not!).

Seemingly not for long!

There is a gradient in how the IH Divinity Templates could be broken down further, but that gradient isn't exactly the same as with Deities & Demigods.

So you could do it, but it won't be exactly as it is in WotCs book.

Well indeed v4 is out and that doesn't seem to have satisfied people, which facilitated me having to do a version with Ability Scores included exactly.

The Immortals Handbook only needs a few weeks work to be ready - hopefully I can get the revised v4 done in a day or so and then finish off the real task at hand.

sounds great. this book sounds like it is going to be just the thing we are looking for at this juncture in our campaign. we have just crossed over into the epic realm and are looking to do some planar/divine heavy stuff.

really looking forward to it UK !

I hope it will help and give you more than a few ideas.

I appreciate the support mate!

Sorry for the delays.

I am looking very forward to the IH as well.

BTW Krust, how did you ever settle on 80 quindecillion as a distinct CR level? I have a pet theory, but I'll keep it to myself unless you can discuss here.

Well there are certain consistencies within the Divinity Templates which facilitated my being able to predict that measure of power.

I don't expect it to be used at that measure of power though.

In the endless philosophising of these related matters (usually with myself) I have been pondering on whether or not to fully eliminate the Cosmic Hierarchy altogether, or rather have them subsume the Time Lord 'classification' of beings.

So after Greater God you would actually have no change for quite a considerable span of power before you would reach Elder One. The reason being that the gulf between mortal and immortal (which I filled with paramortals and quasi-gods) should parallel the gulf between the immortal and the sidereal. Of course that in itself would then require some sort of bridging gap which I would then need to discern anyway. But I think, philosophically at least, my perceptions of the Cosmic Hierarchy are probably better served when distanced somewhat to regular immortals rather than just neatly following them.

...still something for me to ponder upon I suppose.


Incidently I have thought of refering to Slaad as 'Brood'. What do you all think?

This would be like the relationship between the terms Baatezu and 'Devil'. One esoteric, one common.

I think it works pretty well, actually.

Hi CRGreathouse mate!

I only have two Brood planned for the IH (as well as the previously mentioned discussion of planar hierarchies). One generic (Silver Brood); one specific (a Brood Lord called Cheops) so it shouldn't impose itself too much.
