The (new) Immortals Handbook Thread

[Campbell]

Hey Upper Krust,

In the previous thread you mentioned having to writeup some new epic spells for inclusion in the Beastiary. Will these spells be built using your epic spellcasting system or WotC's?

 

[Fieari]

The Amilictli is sweet... I love how you added those possible adventure hooks at the bottom. I can just imagine having an adventuring party of about level 25 or so working to evacuate a town-- or entire Kingdom-- from this thing's path, attempting to divert it elsewhere, working diplomacy to get help from higher powers... the ideas just flow.

I know that when my players hit epic (they're just about halfway there now) I'm going to more or less destroy the world they live on in grand apocalyptic fashion. One ... or more ... of these would go well to that end.

Cool monster Krust!

Okay, with a bit of luck this should hopefully be the last pre-release Immortals Handbook thread.

Third thread Krust. I'm starting to notice the crumbs at my feet. Just kidding......







maybe.

Great critter! Publish or perish! Puppies die by the second!

Third thread Krust. I'm starting to notice the crumbs at my feet.

Is that not counting the Worship Points System threads that predate the actual book title? If you count those, I'm sure it's more than three.

Hmmm, guess I never noticed that thread. Link?

Hey all!

Okay from now on I'll try and answer all previous questions in one post, in an attempt to keep the page count down.

Hey Kavon dude!

Wooh, new thread :3

Well, anyway, I'm still lurking in here, waiting to see how things progress XP

Hmm.. * goes back to pondering what to do with his own stuff * :X

I appreciate the lurking.

Howdy Wolv0rine!

I've been following the other thread, kinda-sorta, off and on, and I've been wondering (might be in the other thread somewhere, but I'm not searching through 75 pages to find it)... you're working on the Bestiary, but what about the main Immortals Handbook itself? Are you just working on the bestiary first, or did you finish the main book and I missed it?

The Apotheosis section of the Immortals Handbook is about 50% complete, I just thought it would be easier to finish off the Bestiary first (shows what I know!).

Hey Impeesa mate!

Subscribed!

Preview = cool. Though it looks to me like it has regeneration with no means of bypassing it - is that a simple omission? Most of the ELH abominations have some fast healing, and then regeneration negated by appropriately aligned weapons or weapons meeting some flavorful condition.

Well the thing is, right before all the abominations in the Bestiary is half a page explaining abominations, how to build them, expanded ability scores table (up to Titanic), all their traits and so forth. So it outlines how all abomination regeneration is defeated by the same elements as its damage reduction.

It was just a method of saving space (the abomination traits bit in the amilictli entry you can see isn't in the amilictli entry in the bestiary), I'm getting to the point where every entry (except the Golems) are at least two pages long (and thats with Monster Manual sized layout/text!)

Hey CRGreathouse matey!

And I thank you for that. The 'double-CR' notation was confusing, and since the systems are equivilant (just multiply appropriately) I'm happy to see the simplification.

On a similar note: Would you glance at this CR list of creatures from your site? I'm a bit confused by a few, and a brief clarification or three would help.

* Crown Naga (25) -- 25/38, I guess, but maybe 17/25?
* Epic Tarrasque (44/66)
* Amilictli (85/128)
* Talos (128) -- 85/128 or 128/188?
* Godzilla (120/200) -- shouldn't this be 133/200 or 120/180?
* King Ghidorah (133/200)

For my system, the bigger numbers. So Crown Naga would be 38, Godzilla 200, Talos 188 etc. I'll have to check over Godzillas stats - I can't recall offhand which one is the more accurate.

Hey Upper Krust,

Hey Campbell dude!

In the previous thread you mentioned having to writeup some new epic spells for inclusion in the Beastiary.

Yes a silly oversight on my part, I knew there was a reason why I initially had things 1) Apotheosis, 2) Grimoire, 3) Bestiary, 4) Chronicle.

Will these spells be built using your epic spellcasting system or WotC's?

They will be built around WotCs spellcasting system at this juncture (I mean otherwise I'd have to include the spell system in the Bestiary!). When I finish the Grimoire I'll have them both ways.

Hello Fieari mate!

Glad you like it. All the monsters have at least three adventure ideas (dragons have five because of the greater CR spread), the first generally involves using the monster indirectly (for parties not tough enough to defeat the monster), the second is usually an excuse to fight it, the third is a way to challenge even more powerful parties with the monster.

The Bestiary also explains the Adventure CR groupings (eg. Mid-epic is for Levels 41-80, quasi-deities and demigods etc.)

I think the Anakim (which I'll post tomorrow) is a more approachable monster, its only CR 45.

Cool monster Krust!

Thanks Frukathka mate!

Third thread Krust. I'm starting to notice the crumbs at my feet. Just kidding......maybe.

This is actually the 14th thread if memory serves me correct...although my memory rarely, if ever, serves me correct.

Hmmm, guess I never noticed that thread. Link?

Deleted a long time ago.

Great critter! Publish or perish! Puppies die by the second!

Oi! You big meanie!

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Hey, Krust. I have a couple questions for you. Having been to your (Immortals Handbook) site within the last 12 hours I noticed that youve got Collosal and Macro Fine sizes. What exactly are these?

Hello U_K!

I think the new post, and the staggered release of creatures is a good idea.

Thanks for answering my question on the other board.
