The Immortals Handbook

[poilbrun]

You're welcome. I've found that the exact moment of Ascension is the one I'm less sure about. I know how my players will get down the road of godhood, I have a pretty good idea of what their first challenges as gods will be, but I have troubles imagining the exact moment of Ascension. What exactly will trigger the change from human to god? What will their first seconds as gods be like? Their first day?

I can hardly wait to read the new articles! Quick NPC generation is a must, since that's what took me the most time when I DMed a high-level campaign. At low-level, it's easier to whip up the stats of a character than to create his story and make it unique. When you're at high-level, it's a lot easier to imagine a story for a character than making his stats unique. I'm not sure the review of the book will be of much use to me, but who knows, it might open my eyes on a whole new world of rpg opportunities!

Interesting discussion.

Off topic specifically but not generally I've got a few questions for Krust.

Fire away mate!

I've got a 10 kiloton WMD doing 128 d6 damage

Where is that from? Something I posted before? One problem can be the starting damage for a grenade which can make your nuke results seem way off later down the line.

-- I was wondering if you would convert the following to d20:

1 megaton
1E12 tons TNT
1E24 tons TNT

Nuclear Arsenal

2 Kilotons = 60d6 (average 210)
16 Kilotons = 90d6 (average 315)
128 Kilotons = 120d6 (average 420)
1 Megaton = 180d6 (average 630)
8 Megatons = 240d6 (average 840)
64 Megatons = 360d6 (average 1260)

16 Teratons (render Earth sized planet uninhabitable) = 2880d6 (average 10,080)
4 Exatons (shatter Earth sized planet) = 23,040d6 (average 80,640)

1E48 tons TNT
1E72 tons TNT
1E96 tons TNT

Basically d20 Modern doubles damage everytime you up the energy by x64! While d20 doubles (base) damage everytime you up the mass by x64, if we factor in things like strength bonuses and the (likely) reduced speed of monstrous attacks x8 actually works out much better - of course thats still d20 'reality' but it gives much better results than d20 Modern.

Thanks in advance man.

None necessary mate - you know that. But appreciated all the same.

I hope everything is going well.

Things are definately starting to look up.

I know this is going to sound like the little kid on the Loonnngggg Car Trip from Hell, but I couldn't resist asking:

"How close are you to finishing the First .pdf?????"


P.S. I'm sorry to say, that as soon as I realized how MUCH it would sound like that little kid, that it made it IMPOSSIBLE not to post. >

4 Exatons (shatter Earth sized planet) = 23,040d6 (average 80,640)

OK, this means that my level 46,079 rogue can shatter the earth by sneak-attacking it... Now I just need to know what would render the earth flat-footed!

Earth is an elemental. And as such, immune to sneak attacks.

Just read Godzilla...

Heh heh heh.

When are you going to have the forums sight up?

Hi Serge mate!

Hearing nothing but praise for the Gates of Hell by the way - hope you guys are proud. To my shame I haven't had time to read it all yet (only skimmed through the first chapter to be honest) - but I have been a bit busy lately so you'll have to forgive me mate.

Just read Godzilla...

Heh heh heh.

Oops! You weren't meant to see that yet - I haven't finished all the abilities for Godzilla and King Ghidorah yet (in fact they won't get finished until tomorrow since I'm off to bed in a moment).

I also have about ten monsters in various states of completion including some Ray Harryhausen favourites, some that S&SS turned down for the Creature Collection, some Final Fantasy monsters, some really cool epic monster variants and some original monsters that didn't make the final cut of the Immortals Handbook.

When are you going to have the forums sight up?

Well I should have my credit card within 14 days as of last Friday - or so my bank manager tells me. So it will be about 2-3 weeks (not sure if thats 14 banking days?) before I am in a position to have the forums ready - I might just have the first pdf ready by then *fingers crossed*.

I'll probably be using EZBoard for the forums.

Hiya Iceflame55 mate!

2-3 weeks if I am lucky.

Hi poilbrun mate!

OK, this means that my level 46,079 rogue can shatter the earth by sneak-attacking it... Now I just need to know what would render the earth flat-footed!

A quick glance at the d20 'realistic'* stats and we get:

16 Teratons (render Earth sized planet uninhabitable) = 4,096,000d6 (average 14,336,000)

4 Exatons (shatter Earth sized planet) = 262,144,000d6 (average 917,504,000)

*this is d20 realism I mean - whereas d20 modern is comic book realism as far as I'm concerned - and even then pretty feeble.

By the way check out this thread about guns in d20 Modern:

Hi all!

I just browsed the site and noticed some of the links were white instead of yellow (you could have told me Serge mate ).

So I spent the last half hour fixing them - if some of them are not working let me know?
