The Immortals Handbook

[Upper_Krust]

Hi Brother Shatterstone mate!

And when will the book be ready for me to "you'll see"?

Well thats the six million dollar question isn't it.

Sweet! How does the book handle the prophet and the champion of rather unique deities that are not real fighters? Like Sune, Venus, Aphrodite, etc. all three encompass Love and Beauty above all else.

Well its actually fairly simple. There are set features and selectable features to each Divinity Template. These also interchange with the features of the Portfolio templates so instead of having to choose from the massive list of Abilities you can instead look up the appropriate Portfolio and choose some of the features of those instead.

Hey Upper Krust!

You've mention before rules on divine intervention, what about the spell Miracle? I hope you've expanded or addedto the spell, not to make it more powerful, but perhaps more diverse.

Also, how goes the book?

Later

Ihave recently discovered this book due to the excelent pdf on challenge ratings and encounter levels, by far the best considerations and complete system on it that I have seen, congratulations. My only concern is that at some points it is a little dubious, more explanations would make it more useful for those who are not native speakers, although I could find my way through it with easy.

Anyway, I am really puzzled by this work of yours and am looking forward to know more, until it hooks my questions I will be reading this thread, UP.

Cheers,

Nif.

Yep.

I have sort of addressed Miracle and Wish spells...though maybe not in the way you are hoping. Apologies if thats a bit cryptic.

Also, how goes the book?

Not bad, although I lost a few days last week with 'real life' stuff - but c'est la vie.

Hi there Nifelhein!

I have recently discovered this book due to the excelent pdf on challenge ratings and encounter levels, by far the best considerations and complete system on it that I have seen, congratulations.

Well thanks! I appreciate the kind words. Glad you found the CR/EL system useful.

My only concern is that at some points it is a little dubious, more explanations would make it more useful for those who are not native speakers, although I could find my way through it with easy.

Well I tried to have as many examples as I thought practical. I suppose I could have made more effort to cater to non native English speakers but you'll have to forgive my ignorance on the matter since I wasn't aware it was a problem until now (you are the first to mention it)...of course if someone wants to develop a version in an alternate language by all means fire away with my blessing.

I think the system becomes a lot clearer when you use it a few times.

Anyway, I am really puzzled by this work of yours and am looking forward to know more, until it hooks my questions I will be reading this thread, UP.

Well if you have any questions about the CR/EL system or the Immortals Handbook feel free to ask mate, and don't worry if they have been asked before...I generally forget if they have myself.

Thanks, UK, in fact when you actually use the system it goes great, what was unclear for me when I first read it is that a geenral step by step comment and guideline in advance would have made it easier to get in the first try, the system is simple but you only get it all when you finish reading and read again the start, just the impression I got.

I don't know anything other than the last 5 posts and the starting ones you made here about the Immortal's, so I guess I am still completely in dark even to ask simple questions... although making epic and divine into a coherent whole is something that has already won me...

I will keep looking here and waiting for news from your good work!

Is this thing done yet?

Well some things are simple in application but a devil to explain.

Well I appreciate the interest!

Okay, won't be long now befoer the release of the pdf and the uploading of my website.

For the record the website is done (but for uploading), I am just in the process of adding new content so as to make it worthwhile.

 

[Upper_Krust]

Hey Leopold mate!

Is this thing done yet?

Virtually.

Next time I say I want to design; write; illustrate and layout a 350+ page book on my own and design the website myself will someone please punch me in the head.

You mean to make you work faster? *Bonk* Faster! *bonk* Faster!

Just wanted to say that I've been making EXTENSIVE use of your CR pdf. I don't think I'd've been able to run my D&D wargame without it, since I wanted my players to construct their own armies, and I wanted it to be fair. Only issue is that sometimes a few of the more unusual supernatural abilties are hard to judge CR modifiers for... and finding out whether or not I need to modify the CR for ability adjustments can also be tricky.

I have one question about the handbook itself though... would it be possible for someone to try and siphon worship from a greater deity by assuming that deities name, and tricking people into thinking he's the greater deity?
