NEW Immortals Handbook - Ascension thread

[Pssthpok]

Perhaps this helps clear it up too...I quoted Ascension...the book itself. Now will you put me back on ignore, stop trying to pick fights, and please for the sake of the forum...SHUT UP

If you aren't helping people, ur just a problem. I was citing references and was behaving until you started opening your mouth. Stop this verbal assault of yours and go back into your little hole. This is the last time I will comment on this issue. The subject is dead, get over yourself.

Who's committing verbal assault? I should lodge a formal complaint; I'm sure attitude like this has no place here, let alone for no reason. Were you upset that I used a word like "fallacious", with has no pejorative connotation... or was it that you had to look up another word in those dictionaries you hate so much?

Plus, I still haven't seen a single monster with more than 1 integrated class. I've seen monsters with assassin levels, but no rogue levels. Like I said before and if I remember correctly, UK said something on the matter a while back. If you can, you can; but I recall otherwise. Shouting at me won't make you right.

Anyway, now that that flame war nonsense is done and over with. I ask that my previous posts be ignored or deleted. I really shouldn't let control freaks get to me like that. But being Irish I really hate people ripping into me (without justification)...even if it is subtle. But now, I can get back to assisting people with the various nuances of the game. Since I actually read the book and the forums.

Ok...technically by Krusty's own words you can Multiclass integrated class levels as long as you use wishes to do it. Although it isn't common for this to occur.

You can also use epic classes. How that works I'm not sure. I'm actually curious to know.

On another note...

No problem Adslahnit. I'm good at finding all the loopholes in rules. It's what I do best. =^.^=

Just feel free to ask if there are any other things you need loopholes for.

Is there an epic feat in Ascension that lets Sorcerers and other spontaneous casters freely apply metamagic without having to up the casting time to a full-round action? Arcane Preparation (Complete Arcane) and Accelerate Metamagic (Races of the Dragon) aren't enough, I'm looking for a feat that lets you do it with ALL spells.

Rapid Metamagic, in Complete Arcane, does what you're looking for. Also, you're wrong about Automatic Metamagic Capacity; it doesn't increase casting time.

Now that I didn't know. I rarely use that feat. Thanks wardragon =^.^=

Unsettling news folks...

America as we know it has officially died...

Hearkens back to Nazi Germany in the era of THOUGHT CRIME...

How do they keep getting away with this highly illegal bull****?

Don't you mean Complete Mage for Rapid Metamagic? Well that feat should nicely solve my problem.

Also, you're wrong about Automatic Metamagic Capacity; it doesn't increase casting time.

For AMC, the wording of it (specifically, "stacks with existing metamagic deployment") makes it seem like spontaneous casters still need to increase the casting time of metamagic'ed spells to a full-round action. Can we get a clarification on this from U_K?

Yeah, mistyped.

If he means it to replace Automatic Quicken, it pretty much has to. One of those things he just assumes, and it never occurs to him that anyone could view it differently.

 

[dante58701]

There are lots of itty bitty revisions that need made with some of the wording. But he's doing a great job so far. Now if we can just get another update soon...he's beginning to lag behind a bit.

America as we know it has officially died...

FDR killed America, but that's not a discussion for the here and now.

On topic, UK: has your 20 day break begun yet, or is that next week? Can we actually hope to expect some progress on the text, or should we just pack it in and wait for 4th Ed?

Three questions about some particular weapon special abilities:

1.) Why is Universal Energy Blast so cheap at a +15 market price bonus for a total of +15d6 energy damage? A weapon with Acidic Blast, Fiery Blast, Icy Blast, Lightning Blast, and Sonic Blast would have a total of +30 market price bonus.

2.) What are the exact stats of the [Energy Type] Nexus abilities such as Fiery Nexus or Icy Nexus? It's easy enough to extrapolate the Unholy/Axiomatic/Anarchic Scion abilities from Holy Scion, but it's harder to extrapolate Acidic/Fiery/Icy/Lightning/Sonic Nexus from Shining Nexus due to the latter's blinding sunburst aura and extra damage against undead.

3.) The entry for Orcus on the website mentions the Bonecrushing and True Dread weapon abilities. What do these do? By any chance, would Bonecrushing be the equivalent of Shredding for bludgeoning weapons?
