The Immortals Handbook

[Verequus]

Hi U_K!

Maybe you like this thread? It is about the creature type system and how it could be improved. http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=105724

I decided to drop in to see if I could find a reprieve from frustrated implosion; no such luck I see. I have a matter I request a vote on: all those in favor of locking Upper-Krust up to finish the immortals Handbook(s) raise your hand(s). This includes a provision of aggressively obliterating anything and everything that dares attempt to distract him from this truly noble and Epic undertaking!!! *Raises both hands in affirmation*

As a side note, I had previously informed my players that the campaign they are in will extend "Well into Epic Levels", which is kinda true, although I do intend to make them dieties, which is a little bit above epic. At any rate, just today I saw them flipping through the epic level handbook, planning out where they want to go, and I told them not to bother, I'm probably not going to be using it, but rather the Immortals Handbook.

They are now added to the list of people EAGERLY awaiting the books. True, they're only level 5 now, but these buggers want to think AHEAD. They're bucking at the gate man!

Bah, you think *you* have issues -- I had a player ascend to quasi-deity without the benefit of the IH!

Hey Krust!

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.

Sounds cool to me.

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

Now you're talking.

I have often wondered how you square CRs with the average damage a being could do -- another way of thinking about this is what is the minimum rank being (based on CR) that could reasonably expect to destroy (insert object here) with its most powerful attack. It seems like a multiplier of x10.5 for CR (WOTC) might be a reasonable proxy but I'm not sure. Is this even in the ballpark?

Regarding Time Lords, I think that you previously mentioned Grimnismal as a possibility. My understanding is that Time Lords differ from the rest of us in that they exist in more that the standard four or five dimensions.

I'm still stumped as to naming a Time Lord from modern mythology.

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

Wow, you've quantified beyond. Once again, you've boldly ventured where no other RPGer has previously.

Hey all!

You guys are the best for sticking by me.

Were it not for my own indomitable will I would be crushed by the despair of mine own ineptitude in 'closing the deal' as it were.

However I can report that its all shaping up very good indeed, so that spurs me on too.

Hey Krust!

Hiya historian mate!

Sounds cool to me.

You know it makes sense.

Now you're talking.

I generally use HD as the base number of dice. With dice type dependant upon the effect itself. Of course then there are numerous possible modifiers.

Regarding Time Lords, I think that you previously mentioned Grimnismal as a possibility.

If I did (?) I may have been wrong, although I suppose I could have been drawing upon his multi-dimensional nature. But hes probably more sidereal in principle. Or weaker, given how easily he was dispatched.

My understanding is that Time Lords differ from the rest of us in that they exist in more that the standard four or five dimensions.

Well they exist outside 'your' dimension(s)

I'm still stumped as to naming a Time Lord from modern mythology.

You'll be kicking yourself when you find out.

He he!

Well it wasn't that much of a leap, but I was just thinking what would happen if two true Beyonders faced off.

Though for his efforts, we won't just lock him up in some dingy
hole-in-the-wall, chained to his desk and dice.

A lavish penthouse apartment with people to attend to his needs.

Locked up, of course, but comfortable.

And the obliteration part --- have to keep that in....
