    D&D 5E (2024) Epic Boons Ranking

    The more I go over the math the more necessary I think it is.

    Apocalypse Camel Adventure is around 160 pages, Epic Bestiary more like 320 pages. But I agree most would probably like to see the Epic Bestiary first. It was just a case of whether I could finish the Adventure relatively quickly (for me that is). Half of the Adventure is comprised of monsters...

    D&D 5E (2024) Epic Boons Ranking

    Purviews are more about Immunities, Vulnerabilities, Senses with a few Reactions, Bonus Actions etc. The Divine Boons cover a lot of ground. I am sure there are many that which give Advantage on certain effects, spell schools. The other aspect is that quite a few Epic spells don't allow saves...

    Hey amigo, apologies for missing this yesterday. I have a full chapter on Epic Advice but I have moved it from the Players Guide book (now called Epic Heroes) into the Epic Campaigns book which will be the 3rd book (2nd Kickstarter). God Rules: Epic Heroes God Rules: Epic Artifacts God Rules...

    D&D 5E (2024) Epic Boons Ranking

    I think it's the attempt to eliminate swingyness that makes me think adding base Advantage on immortal saves is the right way to go.

    Well its only been 7 years in the making...imagine what I could do with another seven years amigo. :p Working on the epic spells chapter and I was thinking well if spellcasters are capped at Level 20 in 5e, how exactly can we 'model' the likes of Mordenkainen and Elminster, etc. Today it just...

    20th level spells are for when you want to affect an entire planet or things of that magntude. ie. Blow a planet up, Control every mind on a planet, Teleport a planet, etc. Also a planet basically approximates to a single planar layer (I know people say they are hypothetically infinite, but...

    That's one of the spells I will leave until the end (of the week). My current thinking is that its a literal wave of beasts that can drag targets along so they might take damage on multiple rounds if they keep failing the STR or DEX check.

    Hey Arcanist amigo! Not as far as I know, I just brainstormed hundreds of spell names, then whittled the numbers down so I had at least 10-15 epic spells of Levels 10-20 for each caster class. That's one for the Druid class. So any similarity to existing spells is purely coincidental. But...

    Well thematically, Yggrasil (in my kosmology) represents the brain of the aeon/sentient universe and linked to Hyperspace - with branches a bit like nerve endings. Full Aeons (Divine Rank 22) would be CR 100. Demiurges (partial Aeons) 88-96. So for an awakened Yggdrasil, likely something in...

    Hey Apollyon buddy. Some crazy ones, they get meta in the high 40's. My two favourites are a 16th level spell and a 52nd level spell. But lots of cool ones.

    Hey Arcanist Amigo! :) Fire away! Pralaya can be seen as the wife of the Supreme Being (the Creator). She is the "Destroyer". Maha-Pralaya might be a higher dimensional version of Lorraine Williams. :giggle: 50/50. I think I'll have the book "finished" by the end of the month, but...

    D&D General Edition Design Philosophies as Seen Through Magic Items

    You can easily tie the Bloodied condition to the more severe aspects of items (or spells). Sharpness effect: A natural 20 against a Bloodied target severs a random appendage (no confirmation required). Roll 1d12: 1 = Head severed 2-4 = Left Arm severed 5-7 = Right Arm severed 8 = Torso...
