immortals handbook

[Derulbaskul]

(snip)Also if anyone has any general suggestions about what they would like to see on the website itself now would be a good time.

Howdy U_K,

I would really like to see some of your campaign notes or story hours. I'm a long-time lurker who has followed the news of your IH project since you first announced it on the original EN boards and I would like to know a little bit more... oops, a lot more, about how your extremely high level campaigns actually play in practice. Does that make sense?

Anyway, consider me another committed purchaser!

Cheers
D

Hi Upper_Krust
i have some questions that you don't like to answer becuse a lot of other pepole ask you them but i will ask again

I'm not Krust, but I know the answer to some of these.

2) it will be a big book or like 5 smaller books ?
3) it will be as a PDF ? or a printed book ?

Both - It'll be first released as as series of small PDF's, and eventually as one large printed volume.

5) i think that you HAVE to create the " super angels " as you call them
it will be so cool

I am in firm agreement! After all, Krusty, the primary audience for your work isn't just people with divine campaigns, but also power junkies. High numbers are our meat and drink.

6) for epic level creautures do you have new undeads ? what about epic wizards and liches?

I don't know for sure, but there's bound to be SOMETHING.

7) are you going to use the core classes as epic classes with more powers ? like a very powerfull paladin at higher levels that can transform into an angelic being and through time can go up in the ranks of the angels up to the most powerfull one ?

He hasn't said anything about this. Probably not. There may be a prestige class like this or something.

8) about prestige classes , do you have legendary prestige classes or something more unique ? can you give some names and descriptions or new ones ?

Yes! Give us names!

10) are you planing to give us some previews or PDF teasers in the near future ?

I don't think he is, no.

Hi all!

Last night I worked out the D&D stats for Godzilla, so I'll tidy that up when I get 3.5 and post it up on my website for its launch. Hopefully I can add a new monster a week therein.

Very cool, UK.

In fact that might be an interesting feature. Any requests for classic 'epic' or 'immortal' calibre monsters (try and be non-pantheon specific since I plan to detail pantheons and their monsters in the Immortals Index).

I request that you stat Scylla and Charybdis.

Also if anyone has any general suggestions about what they would like to see on the website itself now would be a good time.

Porn. Epic level porn. And lots of it!

Hi Upper_Krust

Hi Necropolis mate!

i have some questions that you don't like to answer becuse a lot of other people ask you them but i will ask again

I always forget anyway so ask away!

Thats 1) do you know when your book will be out ? ( at least around one of the near monthes ) and what will be the cost ?

The first pdf should be out sometime in August (I hope).

It is 128 pages and will likely be about $7.95 (I think).

2) it will be a big book or like 5 smaller books ?

3) it will be as a PDF ? or a printed book ?

It will be released as four pdfs then they will be combined into one printed book (320 pages).

4) about spells , how do you use them in your book ( epic level spells ( i think that this system suck ) , 10+ level spells ( i think that it's the best system like the original spells ) or other original system of yours and so on......

I did develop my own system before the epic rules emerged which had true spells of 10th; 11th; 12th etc. level.

Since then I have made some modifications to the epic spell system so that I can utilise that.

Is the general consensus here that the epic level spell system sucks? You are not the first person to tell me you are unhappy with them.

5) i think that you HAVE to create the " super angels " as you call them it will be so cool

The thing is that I already have lots of angels, up to as powerful as CR 277 (on the last count) so I don't know if I need more in there. I already have about 15% of the Bestiary detailing angels (including a few secret fallen ones you won't have heard of).

6) for epic level creautures do you have new undeads ?

I have some nasty new Epic Level Undead.

what about epic wizards and liches ?

Can you be more specific here not sure what you're asking?

7) are you going to use the core classes as epic classes with more powers? like a very powerfull paladin at higher levels that can transform into an angelic being and through time can go up in the ranks of the angels up to the most powerfull one ?

I use Templates to detail divinity. Then more Templates to detail Portfolios.

8) about prestige classes , do you have legendary prestige classes or something more unique ? can you give some names and descriptions or new ones ?

I have 13 Prestige Classes half detailed but I am not convinced they are intrinsic to the rules...?

The Portfolios are more akin to Immortal 'Prestige Classes' in my opinion.

So I may have the Prestige Classes in somewhere if I can find the space; otherwise I'll detail them at sometime in the future, perhaps on the website if all else fails.

9) when your web site will be done ?

I'll try and get it sorted within the next two weeks.

10) are you planing to give us some previews or PDF teasers in the near future ?

I'll have some previews before the Immortals Handbook is released, possibly when I launch the website though maybe shortly after.

as for your question i think that you can detail :

loch ness monster , donkey kong .

I may do a serpent type monster; although I was thinking more in terms of the Lambton Worm.

I would have thought King Kong was more appropriate unless you know something about Donkey Kong I don't?

as for things to do on the web site :

previews and teasers on upcoming products

Absolutely.

art section

Indeed.

stories section ( stories of the monsters from the immortal handbook )

Great idea! I hadn't thought of that.

ideas section ( a place to wright down ideas of other members on epic level things and monsters )

Another great idea! Excellent stuff.

hope that helps

Fantastic, thanks.

Hi Anabster mate!

I am in firm agreement! After all, Krusty, the primary audience for your work isn't just people with divine campaigns, but also power junkies. High numbers are our meat and drink.

You want the truth!? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!

I explained the second-to top rank divinity to Anubis on messenger the other night and he almost wet himself.

I don't know for sure, but there's bound to be SOMETHING.

I think there are at least five undead in there last time I checked.

He hasn't said anything about this. Probably not. There may be a prestige class like this or something.

I have more Immortal Abilities than the number of feats in the PHB and all the splat books combined. That should keep you busy for a while. These abilities can also be gained by Mortals (don't ask how though, my lips are sealed).

Yes! Give us names!

But won't that spoil the surprises?

I don't think he is, no.

Shows what you know!

 

[Upper_Krust]

Hello again mate!

Very cool, UK.

Godzilla seemed appropriate somehow.

I request that you stat Scylla and Charybdis.

Scylla will be in the Greek Pantheon I detail for the Immortals Index.

Charibdis is actually just a big whirlpool; though I suppose you could use a Primal Water Elemental or something.

Porn. Epic level porn. And lots of it!

Easy Tiger!

 

[Necropolis]

HI again u_k

when i mean for epic liches i mean do you have new types of liches or a tamplete for new epic undead spellcaster like a lich ?

as for the spells in the immortal handbook , what option did you select the modified epic level system or the normal 10+ level spells in the final book

i did mean king kong stupid me!

do you have some art that you can share with us ?

Thanks

by the way it doesn't matter if you will have a lot of angels , it will be great
after all , we want to see how the MOST powerfull archangel look like and how much power he has

Thanks

Alright rapid fire: I thought the Epic Spell system sucked.
I certainly wouldn't mind more angels, personally I don't think good get enough attention.
I wouldn't say power is our meat and drink, more like our crack. You can understand why it would be bad to cut us off, eh Krusty?

 

[Anubis]

I think the epic magic system sucks as well, and I'm pretty certain everybody would agree. It just sucks. Thre's no power whatsoever in it, as the Spellcraft DCs are too high for the power you get out of them. I am a firm believer that "epic spells" and normal epic spells should be seperated. IF you can fix the epic spell system, call them Epic Dweomers and keep them seperate (maybe even letting non-spellcasters access them perhaps to show that they're not "true" spells).

In addition to Epic Dweomers (like current epic spells, assuming the system can be fixed), I personally put in ACTUAL spells above Level 9. (Ice Darts from the Tome of Mighty Magic is a Level 19 spell and is terribly powerful.)

So basically I have two systems, epic dweomers and epic spells. Epic dweomers are what are now called epic spells, while epic spells are spells above Level 9.



Ice Darts
Necromancy [Cold]
Level: Sor/Wiz 19
Components: S
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level)
Target: One ice dart/level
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Fortitude partial
Spell Resistance: No

This spell creates 1 ice dart per level of the spellcaster, which fly from the caster's fingers always striking their target(s). For each dart, the creature struck must save or be frozen (dead). If the saving throw is made, the creature takes 1d6 points of cold damage per two caster levels.



My only beef is that by Level 50, everything is immune to all energy types anyway, so should this spell be lower than Level 19?

 

[Necropolis]

Hi
yes , just create normal 10+ level spells

and anubis , spells above 9th level are not like other spells
what i mean is that a 10th level spell and a 11th level spell are very different and a 11th level spell is much more powerfull then a 10th level spell
it's not like a 3rd level spell and a 4th level spell

also you don't get 10th+ level spells at the rate that you get regular spells
if you know the forgotten realms in the netheril times there were 10th , 11th and 1 12th level spells
and you got 10th level spells at level 20 i think and 11th level spells mush later like at level 30 i think becuse there power of the spells was much more powerfull then regular spells

i think that normal 10th+ level spells are the way to go
they are not so hard to understand and there is not even 1 product out there with high level spells
