[QUOTE="zarquin, post: 3430543, member: 50386"] Well, yes and no. Yes, in the sense that you could never actually kill the Akashic records in a fight. However, you using the IH rules you could effectively become the Akashic records at a FINITE level, and so what ever CR that level corresponds to, would then be the upper limit for which CR ratings have any meaning. Since the Akashic records is effectively a being with: Infinite Ability Scores *6 Infinite Reach Multi-Planar Reach (IE: threatens any square within the range of it's reach, regardless of planar boundaries.) Jack of all Trades: (basic feat) Move to Threatened Area: As a move-action can goto any square it threatens. Trans-temporal Does not critically fail on a roll of 1 Total Sepll Mastery: Can cast any spell of each level up to the limit of its primary spell casting ability score bonus once per day, and receives a bonus on caster level checks equal to its primary spell casting ability score bonus. Total Creation Mastery: As a standard action, the character can create anything they have complete knowledge of. Total Damage Type Mastery: As a timeless action the character can consider his natural attacks to do any type of damage desires. For example he could chose to do Lawful, Evil, Fire Damage, or Instead do Epic Sonic Damage, or maybe Magic Cold-Iron Piercing Damage. He can change attack types between attacks. These 15 abilities create something that is for all intents and purposes the Akashic Records. And since there are a finite number of these abilites, and all of them can be acheived at a finite leve through mostly Omnific Divine Abilites. Again, there is a finite minimum level to acheive all of these abilites, and that level is the basis for the maximum CR that has any meaning. [/QUOTE]
