NEW Immortals Handbook - Ascension thread

[Ltheb Silverfrond]

Hey guys!
...

...
As for the transmute question, I would say yes to black hole matter, I'd have to think about SSM. Technically its an extra-universal material.

I just think its a little odd that an Omnific power can 'only' make you as tough as neutronium, but a transient power can let you create the "Strong Symmetric Matter Gundam" (It wouldn't be a gundam then, but still).

If you like undead templates you'll love Gods & Monsters (4 undead templates) as well as Bestiary Volumes 2 & 3 (each with 4-5 new regular undead - not counting the big section on Umbrals in Volume 2).

There will be at least one new: death knight/wight, ghost/shadow, mummy/zombie and vampire in each of the above mentioned books.

Well this just made my day. I've been very curious as to what the "welkin" template is all about, as it appears to be above even the nosferatu template. And of course the king wight template just sounds awesome as well.

I'd like to think we'll see this book before Gen Con (this August) but that's likely just crazy talk.

I'm half-tempted to cross-post U_K's announcement about this over in the Gods & Monsters thread here, but it seems somewhat unnecessary.

Heh, still trying to wrap my brain around the Omega template. I am pretty sure I know how strong it will be, but statistical bonuses asside, what kind of powers do you attribute to the Antithesis of the Supreme Being? Rules/Physics nullification? Immune to Divine powers? *Head Explodes* *Regenerates*...

Well, quite clearly, the DM won't be the one to control that NPC.

What are the penalties for the secrets portfolio? Is it intelligence or wisdom?

Hey Ltheb mate!

Well different story creating something to turning yourself into something.

Technically Neutronium Body isn't a great power compared to other Omnific powers but its simply too strong for a Transcendental power as far as I can see.

Hi Alzrius mate!

Well this just made my day. I've been very curious as to what the "welkin" template is all about, as it appears to be above even the nosferatu template.

At the moment its looking like:

Ghoul < Vampire < Nosferatu < Strigoi < Welkin < Varcolac

And of course the king wight template just sounds awesome as well.

Wight < Death Knight < Draugr < Cimeriel < ? < ?

I'd like to think we'll see this book before Gen Con (this August) but that's likely just crazy talk.

Lets just say I hope to have it ready as soon as possible and leave it at that.

I'm half-tempted to cross-post U_K's announcement about this over in the Gods & Monsters thread here, but it seems somewhat unnecessary.

I did post a more up to date list of whats likely to feature in Gods & Monsters last night on the website.

Well, just to save you waiting two hours...

I actually changed it to a Charisma penalty.

Hey Strife!

99% of the work I have done on Gods & Monsters over the past month has been written, not typed up. So there would be nothing new in that instance.

Also I really hate uploading unfinished pages (or lets say I have grown to hate them).

What I should have done was only ever upload finished (or finished barring errata) pages. That way people could have maybe printed them out, or at least it would be obvious what changes were made to each update. But you live and learn I suppose.

In future (and including Gods & Monsters) I'd rather just upload the thing when its finished.

Sorry.
