(IR) Announcing a New Strategic Roleplaying Campaign of Epic Proportions!

[Rikandur Azebol]

According to Dragon #294 (which has a Deities and Demigods style writeup), Cleric 20/Assassin 10. Domains are Chaos, Evil and Trickery. He has the same domains in the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer (Trickery - goes very well with his favored weapon greatsword. ).

Thank You Knight Otu.
Ashardalon might also be useful ally ... Where is my rod of commanding dragons ?

Would almighty dragon care to ally with someone who counts ?

I had read His entry ... Wow, Iuz kick's back with his great power ! And have some basic "unique cambionic demon lord", Spellike abilities to rely upon. And all those enemies ... Vecna, Tharizdum, Nerull, St. Cuthbert to name just gods. Good that now he is ONLY god present, isnt it?

Druids don't count, because they aren't getting their spells from gods.

Serpenteye ... most of My empire is a half barren plain, in my resouce sites I have partisans ... or minimal control. Sigh ... must first steel my grip on what I have. Life of an Emperor is constant hadrdship. And they call me evil for all those little pleasures ... sob.

Any suggestions about devolping of my Iuz, Serpenteye, or can I use entry from Dragon ?

 

[Serpenteye]

Do the humanoid tribes include any druids, or is it mostly adepts and clerics who are now spell-less?

There are a handful of druids and shamans (druids with another name afaIc), but humanoids generally do not respect nature or the balance of life enough to be druids. They, like most humans, regard nature as either an obstacle or a source of resources, not with any degree of reverance.

Those two sound good (where are those islands, anyway?), and I'm laying claim to the alleigance of any expatriated elves besides.

My e-mail, for cladestine communications, is ternashandrik(at)yahoo(dot)com.

I shall investigate the greyhawk resources to find out more about the history thereof, paticularly my territory (of special interest are any prexisiting NPCs I should aquire).

Is there any one place I should look for a primer on how IR works?

Great , you are now a major power.

(the islands are at the eastern edge of the map of the Flannaes, south of the Sea Barons.)

Thank You Knight Otu.

Yes, thanks K_O.

You can use the entry from Dragon, or make some alterations to it to adapt it to yourself. Just keep him in the same general level of power.

Tell me about it *sigh*, it was the same way for me in the 3rd IR. Rebelling governors, people dropping mountains on my head and others trying to abduct my population...

Sure. Who would be that, though?

Nay, it fits me the way he is ... or not. Yes, Can I change his domains ?
Not his Deific domains, of course, but his clerical domains I would like to change from Chaos and Evil to Demonic domain, to express his power over demonkind roaming his land, and Pain domain ... to express his personal tastes.

I will ask one more thing ... Will You allow me to use high level spells or Iuz is as limited in his spellcasting as his clerics ? And ... can I use spells from "Book of Vile Darkness" ? They have there one spell named "Apocalypse from the Sky" Corrupted Magic, lvl 9. VERY devastating and in rather in huge area ... alog the line of fireball but with blast radius of A-bomb. 200 miles if I remember correctly.

Iuz power level is 50, then ? Average god.

Tell me about it *sigh*, it was the same way for me in the 3rd IR. Rebelling governors, people dropping mountains on my head and others trying to abduct my population...

I will tell You what said famous bandit lord, General Fuji, when he heard that desperate villagers rebelled against him ... to not starve to death.

"I was too good for them. Should kill them on the beggining."

Terror and iron grip is the only way the people would respect, otherwise they will walk all over Your head.

It is good to be evil.

Ah. That was what I was looking for. More specifically, the first few posts of
this, but anyway....

Hmm... Yes, I suppose a Demigod would have enough power to grant himself 0-9th level clerical spells if he has the required class levels.
200 miles!?! Seriously? For a spell that powerful there has to be some sort of Major drawback for the caster, right? I'm loath to restrict anything that is official WotC-material, but can anyone tell me that spell is not insanely broken?
I own but the barest minimum of books for DnD, but you can use anything official as long as it's not too obviously insane. If it is too obviously insane you might have to research it first . Nothing is too broken for the IR but everything has a cost, one way or the other...

I have had a lot to do this week, but next week I will post most of the rules of the game. This is going to happen.

I've asked this before but does anyone have a site for me to post the maps we're going to need for the IR?

 

[Knight Otu]

The spell requires an artifact, I believe as a material component (meaning it is used up). Also, as a Corrupted spell, it deals ability damage, pretty serious in this case I believe.

Yee ! Beware all who oppose Iuz ! i think that first I will conquer, alone, Underdark. Drow will submit ... without their goddes Mathrons are nothing.
Even their ambassador on my court. Tee Hee. Then Illithid ... mass zombie attack should be enough to subdue these ideal slavers. Drow virgins for my Red Dragon friend ...

Knight Otu, change Dragon's spell list ... it is lacking usefull spells of mass destruction and healing spells. What do You think of Dragon Ascendant prestige class ? It's like created just for You.

And a steady stream of slaves for my demilich friend. Cannot wait till he would create zombie as hard to destroy as Tarrasque.

And my alliance with Wolf-god of goblinkind ... After we crush the Theocracy and don't start fight during sharing the spoils, it may be fruitious ... And so called civilised countries can wait for their turn. belive me, time is working for our cause ... We will come to them in peace.

As Knight Otu wrote, It uses up artifact as a material component. Who judges what is artifact ? Yep, You as DM.
Corruption cost is meaningless for a ... god.
But normal caster would suffer spell damage 10d6 fire or acid or sonic, 3d6 Constitution damage and 4d6 Wisdom drain. Simply having it memorised causes d3 Wisdom damage per day. That spell is outrageously, almost obscenely powerful. I will agree. But completly broken ? Nay, only a madman have manufacture of artifacts. Since even Epic items aren't artifacts ...

And for masss destruction I can still use many clerical spells wich have obscenely huge area of effect. "Firestorm" lvl 6, "Storm of Vengance" lvl 9. For my liking arcane magic hides under small stone compared with such devastation.

I draw this ... drastic example just to probe activites that are possible for Iuz. Never played a god before ... Even never played Epic character.

I have had a lot to do this week, but next week I will post most of the rules of the game. This is going to happen.

Sorry, I don't have website. And about rules, It will happen, I'm eager to help ... share opinion and shamelessly criticize.

 

[Mr. Draco]

Hey Serpenteye, unfortunately it looks like I'm going to face a veritable avalanche of work in the upcoming weeks -_- So I'm gonna have to sit this one out, though I look forward to reading!

As for a website, what about a wikipedia entry, or something? (I know nothing about wikipedia, except that Living ENworld got an entry). A wikipedia seems like the sort of thing that would be useful as a repository of information: rules, who's who, stats, maps....
