[QUOTE="MPA2000, post: 5681041, member: 6682107"] I see. Just curious why did you guys decide such a low ranking when the Elemasters are Hierarchs? They should be At least Divine 16 or 17. Eternals and Hierarchs are all equivalent to Greater Gods. Full Hierarchs should always be Divine 20. No, that is not what it says in Franks DM Guide for the Immortals. Here is the exact quote: [I]Description: The elemasters are high-ranking aides who directly serve the Full Hierarchs of the Spheres. They represent and rule all of the elementals of the multiverse.[/I] The Full Hiearchs for each sphere (Energy, Matter, Thought, Time and Entropy) are not elementals. If I could add a couple of corrections here...? Yes elementals live on the Elemental planes, but Elemasters are no longer elementals (just as mortals are no longer mortals when they achieve immortality/godhood). They are immortals. They are outsiders who make their residence in the Elemental Planes, just like some Deities make their home on the Material Plane. Where they live doesn't change the nature of their being. The RC didn't discuss Immortal's HD, as that was beyond the scope for the RC. The HD max were in Frank's Immortal Rules (45HD) and the later revised rules of Aaron's WoTI (50HD). I have disagree about the liberal interpretation of the HD limits of the immortals. They are limited to 36 levels, just as mortals are. For immortals 1 level=14 HD, thus a 36th level immortal has 50HD. Just as mortals, per RC, I am sure that Immortals could continue to earn PP well beyond the 16,000, just no further levels. Yes an Elemaster who is limited to 42HD, rules over Elemental Rulers with nearly twice as many HD as themselves. So anyway, I think that you guys put a lot of work into the conversions. [/QUOTE]
