Hi again

Hiya mate!

well i think that if you are going to create them it's good but can a normal lich transform into one of them ?

becuse you see if a player lich want's to be more powerfull he needs to be a demi lich first and then this new type of lich so there is a way for a normal lich to be one of those Eidolon liches ?
maybe with unque rituals ?

I'm curious, is there a pressing need or desire to see new and more powerful character-centric monstrous Templates?

and are you going to give the full processs for the transformation into that lich ?

I didn't really see it as a process per se but rather an evolution.

Eidolons are the 'first liches' if you will, who have existed so long that even their bones no longer remain.

and lich is the only choice for being a powerfull arcane spellcaster at higher level or that there is something else ?

...deity perhaps.

Thanks
can't wait for this man

Well you'll just have to...a little longer anyway.

Hi Anabstercorian mate!

I'm still reeling over Supremacy. How are you supposed to DEFEAT that...?

Its a good one isn't it.

Of course thats only an Omnific Gift; when you get to the Metempiric Gifts thats when things get really crazy.

There are a number of ways to defeat such a character.

- Remember firstly that they only gain the power of a single opponent (so attacking with multiple characters would help).

- They only gain inherant powers; not magical equipment (so they technically won't have all your power; given that, on average, magic equipment makes up 20% of a characters power).

- At the very least a being possessing Omnific Gifts must be at least an Overgod in terms of power (and likely even more powerful than that); so you probably want to be at least a Greater God before you even contemplate taking it on.

So, it'd be something like...

Melkor cackled menacingly, hovering like a burning flame that would not go out above the smoking corpse of Lathander. He gazed towards Ilmater with malice in his eyes, laughing derisively.
"Fool! You cannot hope to defeat me! The first blow you strike shall grant me all of your strength!"
Ilmater nodded. "Mine, perhaps..."
Odin burst in to the Godmoot hall, followed by Isis and Tempus. "But not ours!"
Melkor hissed in anger. Curses! He could not take the power of them all...

Exactly.

I was wondering about that.

Hi kreynolds mate!

I was wondering about that.

I'm omnipotent, not omniscient.

Hi

Hiya mate!

and i mean alot of damage ?

i love to destroy things

I have a spell that can destroy a planet but I think it may be beyond the ability of most spellcasters.

I am considering some technomage spells that duplicate the effects of explosives from grenades through to cruise missiles through to nuclear strikes etc.

You need to be about Doomstars level to legitamately cast "Cruise Missile". Although lesser spellcasters could perhaps still manage it through application of the mitigating factors of my revised spellcasting system.

Incidently (for those who keep tabs on such things) I worked out earlier that Earth has 451 million hit points...and our Sun has 49.5 Billion hit points.

It takes (approx.) a 4 ExaTon Event to obliterate an Earth sized planet...and an (equally approximate) 8 YettaTon Event to obliterate the Sun.

I don't see these as common place events even in an Immortal campaign but I know some of you like to run a sort of DragonballZ affair while others like to throw Overgods around and I like to have all my bases covered.

So, do you think that your system could appropriately handle and scale to the utterly 1|\|Z@|\|E (insane) power that is DBZ?

Oh, and here is something funny: http://www.atomictoy.org/comics/buttlordgt/buttlordgt.html

When DBZ goes horribly homosexually wrong.

W00t, DBZ campaign here I come. Buttlord is hilarious, too bad it's over.
