NEW Immortals Handbook - Ascension thread

[Ltheb Silverfrond]

Humans are always said to be adaptable creatures, so for the domain spells, put utility spells. (Fly, See invisibility, etc)
For powers, any of the Anyfeat-type powers. Or powers that give lots of less potent options. For weaknesses, I am not too sure, but humans being very general is somewhat of a weakness itself. (no specific strengths) Humans are known to wage war, so perhaps the penalties the War domain suffer might work.

Since Skill seems to be missing its Demigod power, here's a suggestion. Basing it on Strength, why not let them ignore half/all of an opponent's Dodge bonuses to armor class?

Are you trying to get me to hurry up Ascension using the excuse that the World is about to end...?

Nah...just got a bit freaked when I heard that disturbing bit of news and was hoping some of you geniuses could shed some light on the subject or me.

It's be a shame to only be able to live another 8 years and not even get to see Iceland and Ireland before I die.

Not to mention it'd put a hell of a damper on gaming.

Wow, here we go again!

Is there a black hole heading towards earth? I heard somewhere that NBC Nightly News was telling people that a black hole was tilting earth's axis ever so slightly and that it was going to reach earth by 2015.

No there isn't, NASA is sending a probe into space to detect gravity waves coming from objects like black holes. The launch date is for 2015, here's the link LISA.

Hey UK!

Love how the Ascension book is coming along, are you still planning to release the templates described under the Abilities section with Ascension or with your next beasties book??? IE the "LORD OF NECESSITY" ability lists the Omega template.

Rob.

Thanx for the details on the LISA

I wanna play an alpha amidah nosferatu omega seraphim. Though the likilihood of that isnt too good, my DM might use the word NO!!! in succession about 50 odd billion times.

What exactly would an omega template entail anyhow? Do they shoot annihilating bolts of doomy doom doom out of their eyes, or do they just have the ability to Nuke everything at will.
Im actually kinda curious.

Hi UK (or anyone else),

Hey there Angel of Adventure mate!

Any suggestions for the spells (1-9, plus 1 Epic) for a Human Racial Domain?

Maybe a spell which gave you a bonus feat or feats? I was thinking +1 feat per spell level, non-stacking, must still meet the prerequisites.

How about strengths/weaknesses?

You mean for a Human portfolio?

If so, I have always thought that humans natural adversary (in the way elves and orcs are adversaries) was the dragon.

Thanks,

Happy to help.

I was actually thinking they could ignore half/all (single/double) any dexterity bonuses to an opponent's AC.

Hey dude!

Nah...just got a bit freaked when I heard that disturbing bit of news and was hoping some of you geniuses could shed some light on the subject or me.

The only black holes you need worry about are Black Hole Golems.

It's be a shame to only be able to live another 8 years and not even get to see Iceland and Ireland before I die.

Iceland I can understand...but Ireland!? Then again, I suppose the grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence.

Not to mention it'd put a hell of a damper on gaming.

Well at least they probably wouldn't bother churning out a new edition....or would they?

Hey rj mate!

They'll either end up in Gods & Monsters or in Epic Bestiary Volume 2.

One slight change to Gods & Monsters is that Typhon will become a cosmic dragon (probably a Lunar Dragon). So that will move him from Cosmic Afterbirth to Pantheon Destroyer.

I also have two (possibly three) of the four remaining monster slots in Gods & Monsters determined....the only hint I'll give at this stage is that they are both female.

On slightly different news I got to play about 30 minutes of God of War 2 last night. Those of you who have perused the website will know I loved the first one.

This game looks even bigger and bolder...if thats possible.

Fortunately for you guys the scart socket on the television in my room is loose and thus borrowing my mates PS2 would be irrelevant. But hopefully I'll somehow get to play it in the summer.

For my first war report I can confirm that Talos was defeated, although it did take me 10 minutes to remember all the skills I had learnt when I conquered God-level difficulty on the first game.

Would 'ignore' be tantamount to 'deny'? If so, Double Skill Portfolio is the place to BE for rogue deities using sneak attack.
