Upper Krust, where are you? [Immortal's Handbook]

[Necropolis]

hi upper krust
i wanted to ask you those questions
1) are you going to create in the immortal handbook the most powerfull good creatures angels and archangels ?
2) if yes are you going to do them so a high level ( 14-17 ) paladin can become a angel and in higher levels ( 19-20 ) he can become an archangel so like that the powerfullevil wizards can transform to a lich a paladin can be eventually an archangels and do some good and fight against all the evils in the world ?
3)are you going to create all kind of liches ? ( i know that you said that you are working on a tamplete that you put on the demi-lich )
but i think that the demi-lich is not so fun to play he is imposible to play becuse that he is incorperal and he trevels to other worlds all the time and all that is left of his is just a pile of dust
so what that i am thinking is that you can create a new kind of a lich that can be more powerfull then the demi-lich and more then the tampleate that you put on the demi-lich and that we can play with in the game world you know something very very very powerfull but that you can play and not just trevel all day long to other planes and that you can maybe rule the world some day you can do it very powerfull maybe like a minor god or less

so what do you think ?

Hi Necropolis mate!

i wanted to ask you those questions

Sure fire away!

1) are you going to create in the immortal handbook the most powerfull good creatures angels and archangels ?

Yes.

2) if yes are you going to do them so a high level ( 14-17 ) paladin can become a angel and in higher levels ( 19-20 ) he can become an archangel so like that the powerfullevil wizards can transform to a lich a paladin can be eventually an archangels and do some good and fight against all the evils in the world ?

Well I don't see why High Level Paladins who die in the service of their deity couldn't 'evolve' into celestials (of type dependant upon their level/CR). In fact this is one of the optional rules I advocate; whereupon a deity requires a spirit as powerful as the creature it hopes to create.

eg. To create a Solar (revised CR23) a deity would need a spirit of one of their followers who was also CR23 (Level 26).

3)are you going to create all kind of liches ? ( i know that you said that you are working on a tamplete that you put on the demi-lich )

Thats right I do have the one template that adds on top of the demilich. But I haven't created any other 'liches'; though there are a number of undead and a few other undead templates.

but i think that the demi-lich is not so fun to play he is imposible to play becuse that he is incorperal and he trevels to other worlds all the time and all that is left of his is just a pile of dust

I agree the demilich is more an NPC figure than viable PC.

Incidently my template makes it even less corporeal.

so what that i am thinking is that you can create a new kind of a lich that can be more powerfull then the demi-lich and more then the tampleate that you put on the demi-lich and that we can play with in the game world you know something very very very powerfull but that you can play and not just trevel all day long to other planes and that you can maybe rule the world some day you can do it very powerfull maybe like a minor god or less

so what do you think ?

Well I have a template called the Nosferatu which is to the vampire what the demilich is to the lich in terms of power - yet is still corporeal. So perhaps it is better suited to what you are looking for?

You're sure you won't get any trouble about the name "Nosferatu"? I know White Wolf didn't invent it, but with them using the name in their RPG, I don't know if it'd be OK to use in another RPG...

BTW, I find it funny that questions about liches are asked by someone called Necropolis!

I can say with absolute certainty that there would be no trouble in using the term "Nosferatu". It is not a fictional term; therefore, it is not subject to copyright laws.

"Nosferatu" has been around for a long time. Not sure which language it finds it's origins in, and I'm too lazy to look it up right now, but I know that it dates back to the old Transylvanian legends and such, as well as old OLD stuff about "vampires" long past.

No real proof of their existence, but also no proof denying their existence. It's one of those "The truth is out there . . ." deals, if you know what I mean.

Hi all!

I appreciate the concern guys but I think the word Nosferatu has been around for centuries and is therefore not subject to copyright.

I don't know a thing about copywriting material works, so at least I've learned something : non-fictional terms can't be copywrited! I just wanted to be sure you were aware of the potential problem...

What is the "SRD"?
And why is it so important........

Well Simon is a copyright lawyer so I think I am in safe hands.

Hi there!

What is the "SRD"?
And why is it so important........

The SRD is the "System Reference Document".

This represents the body of official Dungeons & Dragons material that d20 publishers (outside Wizards of the Coast) can draw upon.

eg. Before the Psionics Handbook entered the SRD no d20 publisher could use any of that material in their products - now they can.

Essentially I am waiting on Deities & Demigods entering the SRD so that I can draw upon some of the material in that book to use as a basis for some of my ideas and keep my work as compatible with Deities & Demigods as possible.
