The Immortals Handbook

[Upper_Krust]

Howdy Iceflame55!

I'm pretty sure you not remember me U_K,

I apologise, my memory is not the best I'm afraid.

but I started a topic on Highlander Immortals on WoTC boards a year of so back, and you mentioned IH then.

How time flies!

I ran into hints it's getting close to done over at dicefreaks, and decided to check it out over here since this is where the news is coming most often.

In lieu of a website just at the moment this is certainly the place to hear about the latest

Here's to hoping things straighten out fast, so we can all dive headfirst into IH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I appreciate the love mate.

P.S. In case you wondered, I registered here just for this thread

I'm flattered.

Though I am sure you will find a lot of people and posts here very interesting and helpful.

I'm flattered.

*Bows* Thank you! And I'm very sure I'll find other things for entertainment, though at the moment, all my mind seems to want to focus on is the Immortals Handbook (hmmm, given the way my mind works, it's likely it's still in shock at discovering how close it is to reading something I've had dreams of seeing for AGES!)

Has anyone who's read Maure Castle felt that some of the creatures introduced in it were a little... undervalued in terms of Challenge Rating? I speak most specifically of the Terrible Iron Golem and the Shoosuva, though Kerzit is also suspect.

Any other opinons?

Hey Paragon mate!

hhhmmm......

Easy tiger, I'm on it.

Incidently (while I am here), both the Supernal template and the 8 Metempiric powers have been removed from the latest draft of the IH. I just don't think they were useful enough to warrant the space. Though both will still be mentioned.

Hey Iceflame55 matey!

Okay now I am blushing.

Hiya mate!

I did happen to pick up that issue (my first since the epic adventure).

As a general rule of thumb official CRs are always wrong.

A quick scan over the Terrible Iron Golem suggests its in the area of CR 21 which would make it about CR 14 by WotC reckoning - in the adventure its listed as CR 16 which is okay I guess.

Kerzit is CR 37 by my reckoning, which should mean CR 24 is a better value for the official CR.

Kerzit also meets one of the prerequisites for Demon Lord status (his Hit Dice) putting him on a par with a Solar, though he should have a CR of 40+ as well. Looking at his stats he doesn't have any magic items which is one of the reasons his CR is slightly lower than it otherwise could be.

The Shooshuva works out at CR 15, so CR 10 (again using the 2/3 rule) would be more appropriate.

Will you, by any chance, post them -- either here or on your site?

Not in the short term.

A few of the Metempiric powers may eventually wind up as Omnific powers in one form or another.

The Supernal template is still (indirectly) going to be in the book - I'll say no more than that.

Also I may (indirectly again) use the Supernal name for the more powerful Time Lords...titularly 'the Supreme Lords of Life'.

No need for blushes when you ARE a genius.

And my mind tends to act strangely when surprised; I had honestly though you'd hit a big enough snag you'd given up! I'm very glad though my assumpion was wrong though
