The (new) Immortals Handbook Thread

[Upper_Krust]

Hi all!

Okay I have decided to call time on the old thread - so if moderators are at hand feel free to lock it.

I have just updated my website with the first monster from the Bestiary. Amilictli (All-Relentless Thunders).

There are probably one or two things that might change in the final version (note 'Boredom' might be deleted and simply referenced within the text; vengeful gaze may be given a save). Also of note is that its Challenge Rating based on WotC CRs, not my revised system to avoid confusion.

I will add the illustration tomorrow, then the following day I will add another monster from the Bestiary.

I'm very much interested in the Immortals Handbook, so I welcome your new thread.

I didn't read much of your old thread. It felt too much like I was reading somebody's private conversations.

Um... When will you publish?

Sam

That's the one million dollar question, isn't it?

I'd certainly delete boredom. Elemental subtype? Why not elemental type? Remember the thing about the thunder worms.

Hey there Samuel!

I'm very much interested in the Immortals Handbook, so I welcome your new thread.

Yes, I thought 72 pages might be somewhat intimidating for people to jump into. Also it was getting a bit unwieldy for me.

Um... When will you publish?

...y'know if I had a dollar for every time I've been asked that...

The only answer I can give is 'as soon as possible'. I get my fingers burnt giving out dates, and there have been a number of personal things stifling progress - not least my own ineptitude it would seem. But I'll get there in the end.

Hiya mate!

That's the one million dollar question, isn't it?

Beat me to it, darn you.

I'd certainly delete boredom.

That will likely be dropped.

Elemental subtype? Why not elemental type?

Well it can't be both and it gains the best stats from being, first and foremost, an Outsider.

Remember the thing about the thunder worms.

Yes but I'm just thinking, thunder worm is a generic term and might refer to a monster I am creating.

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'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?

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.

Also of note is that its Challenge Rating based on WotC CRs, not my revised system to avoid confusion.

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)
