== Epic Spells ==
The fate of spells and epic spells to make...
Epic Spell Descriptions
* Animus Blast- This is just Fell Animate Fireball. Revamp or remove.
* Animus Blizzard- Same thing, but as an aura. Revamp or remove.
* Contingent Resurrection- Make the restoration instant. Autolife is a fine epic spell.
* Create Living Vault (Ritual)- Living vaults should be crafted as normal. Remove.
* Crown Of Vermin- This was always an interesting if unbalanced effect. Revamp.
* Damnation- The effect is nonepic but the idea is. Maybe if it was more like Familicide in its effect... Revamp.
* Demise Unseen- Nonepic crunch, epic fluff. Make it a living being under control hosting a dead spirit so they can go "I'll show you my REAL form" and flip out and kill things. Also, make it stronger. Revamp.
* Dire Winter- This needs to cause a global catastrophe, not Control Weather. Revamp.
* Dragon Knight (Ritual)- Redundant with Dragon Strike. Remove.
* Dragon Strike (Ritual)- Always thought the names were mixed up. Can be good, in the sense of summoning an ARMY of dragons. This is a ritual spell if any though. Revamp.
* Dreamscape- This is psionic shadow walk. Why is this an epic spell? Remove.
* Eclipse-Good fluff, bad crunch. I can do better. Revamp.
* Eidolon-Ripe for abuse. Just use Simulacrum. Remove.
* Enslave (Ritual)-This is just slow dominate. This should enslave the (weak) minds of nations. Revamp.
* Epic Counterspell- Pitiful. This should make some auto-counterspelling ward. Revamp.
* Epic Mage Armor- As much as I like numbers, we can do better than this, and casters don't need more AC. Remove.
* Epic Repulsion- Name is unfitting, this should blast your opponents X distance away, and keep them there. My inspiration is Deus from Asura's Wrath giving Olga the Divine Backhand of God. Revamp.
* Epic Spell Reflection- Not bad, needs polish. Revamp.
* Eternal Freedom-Make nonpermenant and then apply to many more effects. Play up the unable to stop moving juggernaut thing. Revamp.
* Greater Spell Resistance- You got to be kidding me. Remove.
* Greater Ruin- Its just disintegrate. Remove.
* Hellball- This isn't much of a "hell"ball, and not very interesting either. Remove.
* Kinetic Control-Somehow this seems non-epic, but the idea of physical damage immunity is appealing. Still, probably more trouble to balance than its worth. Consider some sort of DR/resistance granting ability which only applies to things much weaker than you. Remove.
* Let Go Of Me- Not a bad effect but needs more applications and flash bang beyond just damage. How about blowing the enemy away? Revamp.
* Living Lightning-Living spells are cool, but this needs help. Revamp.
* Lord Of Nightmares-Interesting but needs monsters completed first to see its viability. Pending.
*Mass Frog- Epic casters are far beyond parlor tricks. How about cursing an entire race instead? I'll make that, and kill this. Remove.
* Momento Mori- Just a SoD. Remove.
* Mummy Dust- Not enough interesting fluff to maintain. Remove.
* Nailed To The Sky- This was always awesome. Just needs some better revamping and expanding to all sorts of binding-esque opportunities. Revamp.
* Origin Of Species: Achaierai- I need to redo the entire origin of species concept, but it will remain. Revamp.
* Peripety- Good concept, bad execution. Revamp.
* Pestilence- Another good concept, bad execution. Consider diseases worsening as the casting time continues, ala the approach of some elder evil. Revamp.
* Rain Of Fire- Terrible. Well, the slow-damage-over-time can be done, but it needs to be done better than this. Turn into some wasteland-creating spell with more malificient effects. Revamp.
* Raise Island- Terraforming is awesome. This spell is not awesome. I will make it awesome. Revamp.
* Ruin-A bad disintegrate. Remove.
* Safe Time-I prefer "character shunted, covered in smoke for 1 round before revealing he survived". Revamp.
* Soul Dominion-ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL. Acceptable, just polish. Revamp.
* Soul Scry-It's just Greater Scry. Remove.
* Spell Worm-Seems to work better as a longer lasting curse with tweaked crunch. Revamp.
* Summon Behemoth-No, though "Summon Specific X" including Summon Tarrasque should be considered. Remove.
* Superb Dispelling- Really, Greater Dispel Magic should be uncapped instead, rendering this needless. Remove.
* Time Duplicate-Too confusing. Remove.
* Vengeful Gaze Of God-A really strong disintegrate, but still needs more, like a huge area or something of note. This is a orbital death ray after all. Revamp.
* Verdigris-As a city destroyer, it's ok, but seems more like Druid 9. Revamp or remove.
* Verdigris Tsunami-As before, but more. Still needs something beyond damage. Keep only this or the former. Revamp or remove.
In addition I'm making my own which include...
*Mass Interplanetary Travel Options
*Minor Time Travel, largely for purposes of plot device.
*Planet Movement. Always knew World Dominators were overpowered bullshit.
*Summon Elder Evil. For the suicidal.
*Fatal Supersaiyan. Gain superpowers, die and die for good.
*Familicide.
*Always Reincarnate and be impossible to bind for good. You're like Ganon now.
*Alter Reality, a sort of Mass Wish. Restricted to mostly fluff purposes, as the focus is on wide effect.
*Animate Land into Genius Loci type thing.
*Cut the planet in half. For really high level.
*Cut canyons into the earth. For less high level.
*Major but more general terraforming. Turn Mars into a garden.
*Save crystal. Pull off a saved game state. Pricy to keep doing over and over.
*Summon Specific X, like the Tarrasque.
*Cursing entire races. Because Mass Frog blows my balls.
*Crash two planes together, generate mal'X effect.
*Make a black hole.
*Make a nuke for a huge explosion (Megaton).
*Make antimatter for a huger explosion.
*Destroy a planetary object with a Death Star laser.
*Voltron Fusion.
*Infinite Bear Cannon. Just.... infinite bear cannon.
== Salient Abilities ==
The god archetypes I wish to cover are: Aberrant, Air, Animal, Artifice, Chaos, Charm/Beauty, Civilization/Government, Creation, Darkness, Death, Destruction, Dragon, Earth, Evil, Fire, Freedom, Good, Health/Healing, Knowledge, Law, Life, Light, Luck, Madness, Magic, Moon, Mountains, Ocean, Ooze, Pestilence, Plant, Protection, Psionics, Racial, Secrets, Space, Speed, Strength/Fitness, Sun, Time, Travel, Trickery/Lies, Tyranny, Undeath, Underdark/Caves, Vermin, War, Water, Weather
*Alter Form- Ignore Alter Size, make it into a mini-wildshape of sorts and synergize with actual wildshape if you have it.
*Alter Reality- Limit to stupid high level (greater deities), limit to divine realm with a much lesser version for outside. Really, if you want Wish at will, pick up a domain with Wish or Miracle and suck up the xp cost, cause I ain't giving it free.
*Alter Size- Break into two feats, one for typical tactical size changing, and one for impressive size changes that actually transform you into mobile terrain (a subject for another day) and can pull off some impressive looking but not actually all that powerful stuff. The second feat will have to wait until I flesh out fighting terrains better.
*Annihilating Strike- Limit to auto-destroying only weak things. Tough things instead get a disintegration effect on death. This is a mook-clearer, and is super-effective on mobs.
*Arcane Mastery-Acceptable. Needs some tweaking, but "all spells are in your (nonexistant) spellbook" just puts you up to what clerics already had. Needs something for sorcerers though. Perhaps the power to switch out your spells each day, ala Spirit Shaman.
*Automatic Metamagic-This may be redundant with the Automatic Metamagic feats, so I'm inclined to remove them.
*Avatar-Redundant now. Remove.
*Banestrike- Good idea, poor execution. Figure out some sort of epic favored enemy thing going on. Apply it to everything, attacks and spells.
*Battlesense- This actually seems worth it with no changes needed.
*Call Creatures-Good idea, bad execution, needs details. Probably act like Summon from a list of beings no more than your CR -5 or something.
*Clearsight- Weaker than true seeing. At this level, it should GIVE constant true seeing.
*Command Plants- Weak. The idea of making it several powers in one works, sort of like several domain abilities that are plant-themed. 3 feels right.
*Control Creatures- And then too strong. ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL has its purpose, but it needs to be curtailed to prevent abuse.
*Craft Artifact- Redundant. Instead, this is some kind of "Greater Crafting" catch-all ability which allows crafting of anything (with bonuses if you have the feat) and crafting greater amounts of minor/major artifacts, and/or crafting them early.
*Create Object- Major Creation at will and quickly needs to be bug tested for combat abuse, but the concept is sound.
*Create Greater Object- Change to make it able to make low-level non-consumable magic items (non-unique/custom). Balance carefully.
*Divine Air Mastery- This is pretty good, but consider a bonus of half Divine Rank.
*Divine Archery- Not bad.
*Divine Armor Mastery- Change to make it where it's like you're wearing no armor, so armored monks are go. Also, your armor auto-magic vestments.
*Divine Bard- This is... good. Like, really good. Like, several epic feats good. I am thinking I need to break it up, but I kind of don't want to. I need thoughts on this, readers. Comments?
*Divine Battle Mastery-Choked with pre-reqs, and the effects are done by feats. Revamp somehow.
*Divine Blast- The classic god-smite. Good, but needs something than d12s. Straight 10s or 5s? 2d6? Figure it out. In essence this is a warlock blast.
*Divine Blessing- This is dumb. Turning it into Super Animal's Affinity at will can work, but really, at this point everyone will have items of X on anyway. Unsure what to do with it. Maybe "creature has minimum score equal to half your own, aka Cha 40 for you means the blessed mook has cha 20 base if its not higher?"
*Divine Celerity-Whenever hasted, benefits are doubled and the duration is doubled.
*Divine Creation-Very high level, combining Minor Creation, Major Creation, Summons without the summon-part, and slow-creation of creatures. The latter can't create unique beings.
*Divine Dodge-Perfect Dodge for the whole round, but can't spam it, 1d4 cooldown.
*Divine Druid-Change wildshape ala Shapechange once per round as a swift action.
*Divine Earth Mastery-Level appropriate buffs (fast healing, DR, etc) but only when on the ground.
*Divine Fast Healing-Fast Healing, add your divine rank. Stacks, multiple.
*Divine Fire Mastery-Level appropriate buffs (fast healing, DR, etc) but only when using fire.
*Divine Glibness-Not sure what to turn this into.
*Divine Inspiration-Set to go off your Divine Aura, limited to one creature per level at a time.
*Divine Monk-Unarmed/monk weapon pounce, lossless flurry, non-enhancement speed, damage up a size, foresight.
*Divine Paladin-Constant smite, aura of good bolsters allies and inhibits evil.
*Divine Radiance-Ok, but attack becomes Scorching Ray (Light) at will.
*Divine Rage-Rage up one step and a host of immunities and resistances. Namely, Iron Heart Surge each round.
*Divine Ranger-SoDs against baned type and ultra detect vs banes. Defenses vs banes as well.
*Divine Recall-Always roll 20s on knowledge checks. He can know things that would be otherwise impossible to know (such as a persons childhood memories, or something that has happened but hasn't been introduced yet, like the events occurring in another, disconnected universe). Also see Know Secrets.
*Divine Rogue-Detect Valuables at will. Vs attacks, saves, traps, etc always get a Reflex save to avoid utterly (even if it is another saving throw). DC equal to the damage, to the save, or whatever.
*Divine Shield-Sulacu's shield effect, for deities.
*Divine Skill Focus-Always roll 20s on the skill. Can do the skill as a free action.
*Divine Sneak Attack-SA anyone with a smaller divine rank than them (no rank is -1). Bypass immunity for half. Add DR to SA damage.
*Divine Spell Focus-+2 DC and mettle/evasion doesn't work on focused spells. Add DR to bypass SR.
*Divine Spellcasting-Removed.
*Divine Splendor-HAHAHAHAHAHA NO. SO REMOVED.
*Divine Storm-Make it alignment focused, and give it an action cost, but otherwise an ok idea. It is a Storm of Goodness, Evilness, Law, or Chaos.
*Divine Water Mastery-Level appropriate buffs (fast healing, DR, etc) but only when in water.
*Divine Weapon Focus-Take 10 on rolls with the weapon focus'd weapon.
*Divine Weapon Mastery-Redundant, removed.
*Divine Weapon Specialization-Divine rank to damage +4.
*Energy Burst-Instant burst effect based on HD.
*Energy Storm-Divine Storm, but with energy.
*Extra Domain-Removed, its irrelevant now.
*Extra Energy Immunity-Just immunity to one element.
*Extra Sense Enhancement-Pretty much ok. Adjust the numbers.
*Footsore-Ok, but can it be worded better?
*Free Move-Make it as the Travel Domain power. If you have it already, it becomes at will.
*Frightful Presence-Ok. Name is misleading though.
*Gift Of Life-Needs a limit on use, but otherwise good.
*Grow Creature-Silly. Should be an SLA, up to 3+DR creatures a day. Duration is fine.
*Hand Of Death-Ok, but like Gift of Life needs a limit.
*Increased Damage Reduction-Just fine.
*Increased Energy Resistance-Maybe if it applied to everything, but frankly it's growth is too slow. Not sure how to fix yet.
*Increased Spell Resistance-Removed. Already covered by redone epic feats. As is, broken.
*Indomitable Strength-Roll 20s on Str checks 3+DR/day.
*Instant Counterspell-Turn it into an AoO out to divine aura it has LoS to. Otherwise free.
*Instant Move-Misleading name but fine. Could be the entire move action.
*Irresistible Blows-This can be done better. Perhaps something to the effect of multiple attacks leave one staggering (thematically, not the condition) resulting in a penalty to subsequent attacks?
*Irresistible Performance-Not bad, needs polish.
*Know Death-Remove. This is impossible to achieve in D&D. At the very best all you could tell is the natural lifespan remaining, maybe constant deathwatch, and/or knowing when a being has died that you've marked, and how. That might, MIGHT justify its existance, but it's rather weak.
*Know Secrets-Currently overlaps with Divine Recall. Perhaps let this one have its effect as it, and Recall would have knowledge of things going on right at this moment?
*Lay Curse-Just make it bestow curse at will and not touch, and also permit the concept of a dying curse.
*Lay Quest-Following the spell-granting again, this time for geas, etc etc.
*Life And Death-Remove. Too strong and adds nothing new.
*Life Drain-Rejigger its power or raise in level, but the idea is roughly good. Needs polish.
*Mass Divine Blast-Fix Divine Blast and you fix this.
*Mass Life And Death-Removed for the same reason as Life and Death. Use Miracles or something instead.
*Master Crafter-Change to deal with artifact creation, as well as easier creation of lesser objects.
*Mind Of The Beast-Interesting. Place limits, and we're good.
*Possess Mortal-Magic Jar unlimited is a high level benefit indeed, and I'll put a harsh cap on what can be possessed (no more CR than DR? Or even HD?) Limit it and slap it on high level gods.
*Power Of Luck-Gain a luck pool equal to DR, to be used on d20 rolls (max 5 per use). Refreshes per encounter? Effectively, 1-4 times a minute you gain a +1 to +5 bonus on something.
*Power Of Nature-A fine idea but needs to be done slower. Probably a passive power achievable in the minutes stretch of time. Due to the strength, probably will be high level.
*Power Of Truth-See below via a vis spell-ness stuff.
*Rejuvenation-Makes the current rejuvenation offered by the deity better than it currently is.
*See Magic-See below via a vis spell-ness stuff.
*Shapechange-This or Shift Form, they're almost the same thing. Keep one, remove the other. Modified wildshape into something of a CR equal to your DR? Your DR +10? I dunno, I'll think of something.
*Shift Form-This or Shapechange, they're almost the same thing. Keep one, remove the other. Modified wildshape into something of a CR equal to your DR? Your DR +10? I dunno, I'll think of something.
*Speak With Creatures-Turn into omni-tongues, allowing you to speak to anything, plus one thing without a language (animals, plants, or rocks).
*Spontaneous Wizard Spells-Rather unclear what this is supposed to do. Remove?
*Stride-Double the speed, not subject to D&D doubling. At a certain point, becomes Luminal, then Superluminal.
*Sunder And Disjoin-NO! ITEMS!! EVER!!! I suppose if I made it pathfinder disjunction combined with some kind of break effect, yeah, this can work. Will need serious polish though.
*Supreme Initiative-Act First, with the one bonus of divine rank wins. Though, surely something more interesting could be had.
*True Knowledge-Redundant now with earlier knowledge powers.
*True Shapechange-Redundant with Shift Form.
*Undead Mastery-Add DR to effective cleric turning/rebuking level.
*Undead Qualities-Redundant, since gods can be undead now.
*Wave Of Chaos-Needs a better name, but see below via a vis effects.
*Wound Enemy-Bleed damage equal to DR + something maybe?
When it comes to the granting of spells, consider (demi) the first 3 levels at will ok, and higher levels limited to 3/day to 6th and 1/day to 9th. As the god rises in rank (lesser) this changes to first 3 levels constant, next three at will, and last three 3/day. (Intermediate) has constant-constant-will and (greater) has all constants.
