[QUOTE="Buugipopuu, post: 5773568, member: 41173"] The real answer is: The IH is sufficiently unfinished and poorly-balanced that "DM Makes Something Up" is the answer to every Cosmic-level and above question. Not only do Time Lords get Cohorts, they're almost always at their ECL-1, due to the way the Leadership tables work, and that nearly every Time Lord will have every stat at Infinity. Worse is that they get sub-cohorts, an infinite number, in fact, all of whom are exactly as powerful as their cohorts. The only thing stopping them from being more powerful than you (or rather, level infinity) is a line in the ELH saying you cannot recruit a cohort of your level or higher. They can have whatever abilities they want as long as their ECL is less than the indicated number (although I usually ruled that you can name your cohorts and followers Disciples or Prophets, and this ignores the ECL limit on Cohorts, but that was part of the "DM Makes Something Up" clause that happens whenever you do anything with the IH). Time Lords pretty much automatically know when they're going to lose a fight, because they can all see the future. This generally means nobody fights unless they have a way of cornering the other. Time Lords can have offspring if they want to have offspring. They have Alter Reality (with a probable Spellcraft DC of Infinity). They can do whatever the hell they want. You appear to have misread the rules for divine progeny. Abominations are only generated if neither party wishes to pay the QP cost (although I've had instances where various other mishaps produce Abominations, but those are house rules). Upper_Krust jumped ship to 4th Ed (leaving everyone who bought the IH with a product that will never be complete), so good luck in getting an answer out of him. [/QUOTE]
