[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 5387861, member: 326"] Howdy SKyOdin! :) To refer back to my Epic Bestiary for 3.5E, therein I had outlined all the planar types (Outer, Inner, Temporal etc.) and assigned Dimensional Races to them all. These dimensional races were both equal to and greater than the Pantheons. For instance: Outer Planes: Angels (Emanations of the Supreme Being)...some corrupted into Sinistrals. Inner Planes: Elementars (Primordials if you will) Material Plane: Intelligibles (Anti-bodies of the universal sentience) Temporal Plane: Inevitables (Machines constructed to police temporal tampering) Entropy: Umbrals (Umbrals are created, or rather, allowed into our universe, when immortals perish) Far Realm: Pseudonaturals (the Lovecraftian madness) There were also Interdimensional Beings and Higher Dimensional Beings (of the 8th, 9th and 10th Dimensions). So although I wasn't able to detail all of the above with the confines of a single book, they were put into the consciousness of the DM. I'm in the process of refining those ideas for 4E. That is true, but in 4E the gods are a LOT closer to epic characters. I'd estimate a Demigod would be between Levels 27-31 as a Solo encounter. Its easy to develop Epic Monsters as derivatives or subordinates of the above listed dimensional races. Demons or Giants (Elemental) Devils or Fallen Angels (Astral) Daemons or Undead (Shadowfell) Slaad or Mind Flayers (Far Realm) Modrons or Maruts (Temporal) etc. I have some new epic races in the pipeline but I'll keep them under wraps for now. ;) [/QUOTE]
