The Immortals Handbook

[CRGreathouse]

My GM is considering IH. Our 25th level party makes him cry

Looking at Calandrian, he gets a CR of 51, may have to suggest to GM that he lower all effective ELs by -2 or -4 when determining XP. Not a slam, of course, we're just munchkins

I think there's actually a modifier in U_K's CR system for "group is made of nrepentant munchkins".

Upper_Krust, if you don't mind a question it seems like alot of people hear seem to have an idea what your book is about, but besides the FAQ I've seen nothing else.

Has their been a sample released?

Also has a print publisher step forward yet?

That'd be us

Hi everyone, sorry for the slow reply but those of you who know me know that I am away from the computer most of Friday and Saturday.

Hey CRGreathouse mate!

If I gave archdevils an effective DvR 0, then I'd have to drop their class levels a bit. I chose a CR (more or less) and added class levels and abilities to fit.

Well, an Archdevil would absorb most of the Quasi-deity Template into its own abilities, in many ways like an Infernal.

I look forward to IH thoughts on my other layers! My cosmology is very nonstandard, but good ideas always translate well.

I am sure there will be something in there for you.

Hi there tauton_ikhnos!

My GM is considering IH.

Well tell them I appreciate the interest.

Trust me that will no longer be a problem with the IH.

Looking at Calandrian, he gets a CR of 51, may have to suggest to GM that he lower all effective ELs by -2 or -4 when determining XP. Not a slam, of course, we're just munchkins

As CRGreathouse mentioned (thanks mate) I already have provisions for munchkin parties built into my revised Challenge Rating/Encounter Level rules.

Hi Brother Shatterstone mate!

Upper_Krust, if you don't mind a question it seems like alot of people hear seem to have an idea what your book is about, but besides the FAQ I've seen nothing else.

Well to be fair a lot of that is probably due to the protaracted development period.

Has their been a sample released?

I released a prototype of the books appendices for free: specifically three Appendices:

#1. Revised Challenge Rating Rules
#2. Revised Encounter Level Rules
#3. Rules for developing your own monsters and keeping them balanced.

You can find the fourth incarnation here (and thanks to the 883 people who have so far downloaded it)...

...the Immortals Handbook will contain the fifth (and final) incarnation of the CR/EL rules.

Also has a print publisher step forward yet?

Well the reason I haven't officially disclosed the publisher (although I think I have told some people here in confidence) is because although they have said they want to publish the work I haven't given them a final draft yet and we have yet to discuss terms. So until those things are sorted I will renege on officially pronouncing the publisher.

Excellent! Make it 884 I will read it here in a few minutes. (Oh yeah maybe you should stick link in the FAQ for that. )

I can understand all that and I hope it works out for you.

I asked just cause I was shocked that theirs been a few days now since the Epic was added to the SRD and none of the 3rd party publishers have jumped and said "I'll be first."

I'll doubt I'll manage to wait till the print book comes out, which is very unusually as I don't really care for pdf, to darn old fashion I like the feel of a book in all.

So know one more question... Will the print book have anything extra besides a spine?

I'd like to know that, too. Personally, I'd prefer getting the (print) book out quickly to adding more content... I think I'm only getting the Apotheosis PDF, so getting it into print is key for me.

Hi Brother Shatterstone mate!

Sure, well let me know what you think. There are a few changes between that version and the final one though, just so you know.

(Oh yeah maybe you should stick link in the FAQ for that.)

Well the reason I didn't was that I didn't want

Thanks mate.

Me too.

Well it will have any errata mentioned between the releases.

It will probably have more art.

It may also include all the psionic specific material I have set aside for a web enhancement.

There is another idea I want to include (that may not make the pdfs), but I don't want to mention it incase I end up not adding it and then disappointing people, but it revolves around worshippers lets say that.

I can however see things being constrained by page counts. I mean I have probably already overstretched myself so some of that stuff may have to wait for a follow up product.

Me and another guy asked who has plans for an Epic book and these are the replies we got:
