Hiya mate!

Hey U_K how would you rate the Light Hawk Wings?

Impossible to say, without first seeing the series.

From the description they sound like Lightsabres...? For the record I would have Lightsabres dealing about 8d10 damage.

They convert all force against them into harmless light. For example when they were used to slice through some asteroids the asteroids turned into light and vanished. So the question really is how would you make a ability that nullified eveything it touched and could be used both offensively and defensivly.

I would actually think they effectively disintegrate matter on contact, much like an umbral blot.

But, I don't think anything would be outright disintegrated unless it were small enough (less hit points)...so straight forward disintegration damage might actually be appropriate in the case of a lightsaber.

However, the weapon your referring to was much nastier than a lightsaber. I got to see the series and I would say it was more like a lightsaber fitted for a neutronium golem. =^.^=

It's not disintegration, it's turning something into light. It's a force that laughs off attacks that bust 1/20th a galaxy, the weakest people who weild it require the entire the 3rd dimension to go bye-bye before they die. It origianlly came from three high lord multiverse creators, themselves creating the aformetioned being as well as a near supreme being level creature just to see if they could make something stronger than them. It's so far beyond disintigration it's ridiculous. You might as well say the wish spell is the same as the Infinity gauntlet.

Thank you for summing up half my reason for hating anime in one paragraph.

Your loss, to me though it's a little to much like hating comics because of the Living Tribunal and Eternity. Every media type has uber beings, hating an entire media for it is shortsighted IMO.

It's not that it has them, it's that it seems to have entire series full of nothing else but. Uber-beings should be rare, not popping out from under every rock.

It doesn't, but i ain't really going to argue the point. I come here for U_K's wisdom, not to listen to you and Dante, who from what i've seen as i wait U_K's responses are much to judgemental for my tastes.

Howdy mercucio mate!

By the way, what the heck is happening with Dicefreaks, do you know?

Yes. The boards got hacked. Once archiving is finished the old site DB will be wiped and the things should be back to normal.

In the mean time you can go to the back-up site: http://projectdf.phpbbnow.com .

Since I don't have Ascension, could anybody see what's the lowest divine rank you can get to 232 Strength at? Barbarian rage and size increases are fine, but no temporary boosts from spells. I'm trying to plan out my pantheon using the lowest possible benchmarks for each.

Also, is there a system in place for trading in feats for unwanted class features? Like if a Barbarian's Trapfinding or if a Druid's Wild Shape don't find the character's theme and known abilities, can you trade them in for feats?

Well at least you didn't see Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann's galaxy-sized mecha (the protagonists' mecha on the right in the attached pic) punching through the pasts, presents, and futures of multiple universes at once (that's a Perfect Astro Strike with Transtemporal right there) and eating a concussive blast with the power of the Big Bang without taking a scratch. All while standing on some bizarre, solid, galactic battlefield.

Oh, and all it took for the antagonists' mecha (the one on the left in the pic) to achieve the Big Bang blast was it grabbing two galaxies, jumbling them up with its hands, and proceeding to "throw their energy". One of the catchline's of that show was "Kick logic to the curb!" after all.

It's not that it has them, it's that it seems to have entire series full of nothing else but. Uber-beings should be rare, not popping out from under every rock.

To be fair though, only about 5-10% of all anime nowadays are of the mecha genre. The rest either about deity-level combatants fighting each other, deity-level cute girls fighting each other, "slice of life" of wide-eyed schoolgirl life, grim and serious modern-day issues, pseudo D&D-ish fantasy, "what if" sci-fi, etc.

I don't really watch anime that much, but I've been keeping up with what the internet is currently downloading from live streams in Japan (the translated series that arrive in the US get there about 1 or 2 years too late), and I can say that cosmic-level galaxy-exploding shows only make up about 3% of what's out there.
