Hi historian mate!

Happy new year! Unfortunately I have the flu so I am not out celebtrating tonight, but such is life.
historian said:First, I wanted to let you know that the 'mercury golem' sounds cool, kind of reminds me of something like the T-1000s of 'Terminator' lore.
Indeed. Its actually one of Simons creations (one of three in the IH) that I have adapted to 3.5 Ed.
historian said:Second, I had a couple of questions re: divinity templates:
Fire away mate!

historian said:1. You mentioned awhile back that you might reign in some of the numbers for the CRs, and I remember at one point last summer you suggested that 80 quindecillion might be the max, and even said that you had experimented with a CR of 10 to the 214th power (of course, I don't ask this as a practical question per se). Can you shed any light as to where you see this coming out?
As you noted I have really reigned in the CRs. At the moment there are practical applications still in the tens of thousands with the possibility of expansion to infinity.
I could probably come up with a new status or two inbetween my current top rank and infinity (an idea I am toying with) but I just don't see that having any practical application.
historian said:2. I was wondering if you could give some sort of rough idea as to how the CRs for the templates break down proportionally (i.e. 20% gifts and feats, 50% hit dice, etc.). I am ultimately hoping to get a rough idea of what one would expect to be the ability score range for a CR XYZ deity, and the extent to which your gifts and feats might affect CR.
This is actually a fundamental part of my divine templates (in a bid to keep things simple); so you'll have to forgive me for not going into details now. But the outline is really fluid and you will have no trouble implementing it.
The templates have overarching similarities; then there are more similarities within various strata of power (Immortals; Sidereals; Eternals etc.); then various individual components as needed.
historian said:I'm glad to hear that you've got the epic feats almost worked out, and good luck polishing up the other gifts/feats.
Yeah that all went really quickly once I buried my head in a few books I was able to crank out quite a few in no time at all.
