The Immortals Handbook

[devilish]

Nagging Question - Release Date?

Hey all -- sorry to hijack --- but when is Immortals Handbook
I expected to be released? I checked the site and the past
30 threads or so and couldn't find it.

I know lots of people have been waiting longer than myself -- but
I find myself in desperate need of a Worship Points system -- that
and the rest of the contents look incredible!!!

So, just curious -- Autumn '04 as in tomorrow (pleasepleasepleaseplease - tell me who I have to kill) or December-ish autumn?

Thanks!

The Bestiary will happen sometime in (probably mid) November. After that I'll try my darndest to get the Apotheosis pdf ready before Xmas.

Sorry for the continued delays.

ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY no need for apologies (fer me, at least)!
Sorry to kiss-***, but I'm *so* looking forward for this -- exactly
the kind of crunch I love in my campaign.

Much apprec on all the work you're doing on this.....and if
you need beta-reviewers.....;-)

Thanks!

Puppies for Thanksgiving feast unless Bestiary is out by then!

You know you really make me afraid sometimes?

Hey U_K.

Using the low physical factor planet rules, yes.

Its pulsed x-ray attack deals almost as much damage as the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs.

MWUHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I think you're talking in the range of doing 20-30K damage on average (low physical factor).

I can't wait to see this thing (the neutronium). I would imagine that the black hole golem would be to the sun (in terms of relative power) what the neutronium golem is to a planet.

What kind of being would create a neutronium golem? My guess is these things would be created to defend space sectors.

In reference to the infinitaur:

The original impetus, yes. But it has changed somewhat since then. Though you win points for remembering that.

Do I get a prize?

inspired by video games (2) ...I'm not saying which, and thats final.
inspired by comics (4) ...mostly something from Thor.
inspired by animation (3) ...Yellow Submarine, Dragonball Z, D&D cartoon.
inspired by an existing D&D monster (1) ...lets just say its my favourite D&D monster of all time.

Sounds sweet to me!

Also I suppose you could say Simons creatures the Mercury Golem and Prismatic Pudding (both given a facelift by yours truly) were inspired by famous movie monsters.

Your previous descriptions of the mercury golem reminded me of the T-1000 in Terminator 2.

I appreciate the support guys!

Hey U_K.

Hiya mate!

MWUHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I think you're talking in the range of doing 20-30K damage on average (low physical factor).

Slightly less but not by much.

I can't wait to see this thing (the neutronium).

I certainly think there are monsters that will see more use, but I really like the neutronium golem myself.

I would imagine that the black hole golem would be to the sun (in terms of relative power) what the neutronium golem is to a planet.

That would be a rough analogy, but probably fairly accurate. The Black Hole Golem is only 100 times heavier after all.

What kind of being would create a neutronium golem?

I think only a Time Lord could create one unassisted. Lesser beings would have to work together to create one.

My guess is these things would be created to defend space sectors.

He he, cheeky. Using my own superhero framework to corral me eh!?

I have actually expanded that by the way so there were three categories after Class 50,000.

In reference to the infinitaur:

I'll think about it.

Your previous descriptions of the mercury golem reminded me of the T-1000 in Terminator 2.

Almost certainly thats where Simon got the inspiration for it (and countless other T-1000 variants in D&D I'm sure). I think Simons captures the spirit of the 'monster' besy though.

Hey Krust.

Wow.

I think only a Time Lord could create one unassisted. Lesser beings would have to work together to create one.

I'm beginning to think that I've (pretty badly) underestimated the power of immortals after greater god classification, and Time Lords (and I'm sure High Lords for that matter too).

I never was able to come up with a decent response for identifying a Time Lord from real word mythology. But I do think I could give one example (that I think you've previously identified).

He he, cheeky. Using my own superhero framework to corral me eh!?

I had to.

Expanding beyond Class 50,000 is wild (I'm recalling that a Class 50,000 energy emission would destry a universe). Beyond a universe, I can (at least metaphorically) imagine a multiverse and maybe a megaverse. Is there a terminology that you use?

Almost certainly thats where Simon got the inspiration for it (and countless other T-1000 variants in D&D I'm sure). I think Simons captures the spirit of the 'monster' best though.

I'll anxiously await.

Hey Krust.

Hiya mate!

Wow.

Well to put it into perspective the Neutronium Golem is 10 trillion times heavier than the Iron Golem.

I'm beginning to think that I've (pretty badly) underestimated the power of immortals after greater god classification, and Time Lords (and I'm sure High Lords for that matter too).

Well the Sidereals are not 'that' much more powerful because I wanted them to be viable opponents for immortals. If I really wanted them to be truly reflective of what they govern then I would up them considerably - but of course then they would be next to useless...in d20 anyway.

The Time Lords go from about CR 1000 to as far as you want them to go.

I never was able to come up with a decent response for identifying a Time Lord from real word mythology. But I do think I could give one example (that I think you've previously identified).

Oh really...?

I had to.

Expanding beyond Class 50,000 is wild (I'm recalling that a Class 50,000 energy emission would destry a universe). Beyond a universe, I can (at least metaphorically) imagine a multiverse and maybe a megaverse. Is there a terminology that you use?

Well when I mean expand I really mean stretch. So destroying a Universe would now be Class 500,000 rather than Class 50,000.

So you would have:

Class 5000 - Planet
Class 10,000 - Star
Class 30,000 - Solar System
Class 50,000 - Nebula
Class 100,000 - Galaxy
Class 300,000 - Supercluster
Class 500,000 - Universe
Class 1,000,000 - Beyond

I'll anxiously await.

Well to put it into perspective the Neutronium Golem is 10 trillion times heavier than the Iron Golem.

I think you should make them all the same weight, and just reduce their size as appropriate.
