Firstly because I want to make things as accessible as possible.Secondly because it ties in with everything I'm setting up with the Immortals Handbook and the Design Parameters where I advocate things are always rated using the same type of dice: force d4; energy d6; aligned damage d8 etc.So this way you can have in the Design Parameters that you gain 40 dice for a Breath weapon at 40 HD and its all uncomplicated.10d10 = 55 divided by 3.5 = 15.7 d6So it appears. DOH! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" />Well technically I would rate Paralysis Touch as +0.2, But the Ghouls Paralysis Touch is really weak, hence it was reduced a bit.I usually give a flat bonus for things like that. Usually five times the minimum bonus (or ten times for epic monsters).eg. Deflection would give a minimum of +0.1 (1 point of deflection) so Deflection in a template would rate +0.5 (or +1 on an epic template/monster).I prefer to keep ability scores tied to why they ascend rather than the effects the ascension creates.I think its easiest to just rate them all equal.There are probably a few minor bonuses that I omitted; either I missed them completely or they were so insignificant that I chose to leave them out.I'll have a think about it.   My pleasure. Don't be silly, no apologies necessary...it wasn't that long anyway you should see some of my other threads. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" />Well have fun getting your feet wet with it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
