The (new) Immortals Handbook Thread

[CRGreathouse]

I'll field this one.

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?

Collosal would just be a misspelling for Colossal, the lagest size category in the MM. The MM defines it as 64' and larger, but U_K has it as 64' to 128'.

Titanic is the next size up, at 128' to 256'. It follows all the patterns set in the core rules -- -16 to AC and attack, +20 to grapple checks, etc.

After that, go through all the sizes Fine to Titanic with Macro- prepended. Thus Macro-Fine is 256' to 512' and has a -32 AC and attack with a +24 to grapple checks and -24 to Hide checks, while a Macro-Small (2048' to 4096') has a -256 to AC and attacks, +36 grapple, and -36 Hide.

After Macro-Titanic, there's Mega-Fine; continue as above with standard metric prefixes (Mega-Diminutive, Mega-Tiny, ..., Mega-Colossal, Mega-Titanic, Giga-Fine, ...).

Ah, a new thread, new beginning....

HI U_K - hope you are well,

Are you still thinking about selling a preview-copy of 1/2 the bestiary
for us rogues to look at or have you scrapped that idea and
are knuckling down until the finish?

thanks,
-D

 

[Verequus]

I can take this one: Yes, there will be a preview, regardless of the actual date of release.

Don't forget level independant XP rewards (http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=86471&page=2), which gets especially good around posts 69 and 70. In fact, I'd suggest reading the thread backwards from around... I dunno 73? Or Cheiromancer's last post? ...some of the later posts are just me bumping the thread... Anyways, the conclusions are more important than how the posters got there, but some of the early opinions expressed and the maths crunched are good to read.

Yay for posting with a fever. Don't let that deter you from checking out that thread, though.

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

By my list above, this is the 14th thread. Kudos for your memory!

Oh, and thanks for the monster, I enjoyed it. I'll refrain from posting specific commentary on it, for fear of delaying the 0.5 release and losing my chance at the retributive staff I've had my eyes on.

You know, even without that thread and this one, we have over 7% of the posts in the whole forum?

Wow. That seriously made my day.

Illness update: My fever broke for the 2nd time (first time was yesterday afternoon) - let's hope it stays that way.

By my list above, this is the 14th thread.

On this incarnation of the boards, you mean. The first of those is from Jan 2002, which is also the join date of most of the regulars around here. I'm pretty sure I remember WPS threads from before the wipe.

As do I, but I can't exactly link to the others. I don't think the Internet Archive has them, although I'll admit to not having checked.

Hi all!

Okay I just managed to sneak the scan of the Amilictli Art in before midnight my time (I work on the IH during daylight hours and I treated myself to watching the football match earlier this evening hence the delay), there does seem to be a problem with part of the scan being very faint, so I may need to darken parts of it but I think you get the gist of it.

Let me know what you think.

Anakim stats to follow tomorrow evening, with its art the following day.

By the way kudos to CRGreathouse. I thought most of those threads were dead and buried, strange that my old links to those threads in my favourites stopped working a while ago...? But thats a great resource of tomfoolery and highlights my procrastination - well done!
