[QUOTE="Beefermatic, post: 8905007, member: 6670757"] Honestly as cool as this creature is, and it is really cool, it's way too strong for CR 35. It's obvious you put a lot of work into this creation and as a concept i think it's great, especially for an epic campaign. You also made epic spells as well, this obviously has a lot of love that went i to it, and for all of that I commend you, making any creation is tough and I think this could work really well, however as is, it's power is extremely unbalanced. Lopsided even. It has too many Immunities, Neutronium Golem powers, Immunity to Magic, immunity to temporal effects and if you do somehow kill it, it just replaces itself in two different ways, it permanently kills whomever it slays, can teleport/ time travel with pinpoint accuracy, has a bubble of time around it, can make copies of itself, has class features, and can send you to millions of years into the past, and even with all that, it has a laundry list of additional abilities on top of that. Tell me, honestly, as it's immune to Magic, which would be the easiest way of defeating this thing, what group of 35th level characters, let's give them some decent builds, a Barbarian/War Hulk/ Legendary Dreadnought, a Kenseijin, a Cleric/Bard, a Fighter (we'll even make it my Real Deal Fighter), a Ranger/Arcane Archer, an Unchained Monk, and an Unchained Rogue, and lets assume they have an epic spellcaster, say a Wizard/ Mystic Theurge as well, what group could beat this? Or even come close to beating this? They may be able to hurt it, but it can't lose. Honestly, I don't see any possible way for even a powerful party to fight this thing. I literally see no way at all that a stacked party with minmaxxed stats of 35th level with epic items, even items beyond their level, even artifacts, could even touch this thing in any significant way, much less win, and even if they did win, there's no way to actually beat it as it just infinitely respawns or goes back to it's "save file", a 35th level party, hell a 50th level party wouldn't be able to beat this thing, it's abilities are just too strong. Smfh. Compare this to the 3.5 Phane, granted it's CR 25, but the difference in power between the two beings, and a Phane is a strong monster, is staggering. A Phane would be a challenging threat to a CR 25 party, but not impossible to beat, this Time Killer of yours is actually impossible to fight. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:phane[/URL] Even a Great Wyrm Time Dragon, the single most powerful thing ever designed by WotC for 3.5 can't do half the things this thing can temporally, and that thing is literally CR 90. For comparison I've attached a .pdf with the Time Dragon's stats and abilities. Take a look for yourself. I like the concept but it has about 50 extra abilities and too many stacked powers to be legitimately used without the DM just giving the party haxx powers. Sorry. [/QUOTE]
