[X1.1] Multipliers

Each creature and object has a single "multiplier" rating indicating it's level of power. Typical ranges of levels/ability scores for multipliers are given below.

[X1.2] Assumptions

This is a listing of assumptions under which we operate with these rules. It is irrelevant whether or not your character has all of the properties given below, it is just to give a feel as to when "normal" Collective rules should be abandoned and these rules take precedence (decided by the DM). If these rules are adopted, *all* PCs are assumed to somehow have these properties, regardless of whether or not they can individually generate them.   1. Immune to all x0 and x1 multiplier effects. Immune to 0th-10th Spell Level effects of any multiplier. 2. Infinite hit points. Immortal combat uses "Immortal hit points" (ihp) as defined in [XC3]. 3. Infinite damage. Damage based on hit points is ignored. Such combat does actually occur, but has no real effect in the grand scheme of things, as the Immortal is assumed to have been immune or instantly recovered. 4. Permanent Lady's Smile. There are still die rolls, however, as this effect is not powerful enough for these rules. 5. Negative infinite Armor Class. Not used with these rules anyway. 6. Continuous (or as a 0 action) Reset every segment. Does not apply to Immortal powers. 7. Continuous (or as a 0 action) Mental Fury every segment. Again, does not apply to Immortal powers. 8. 36th level in every non-Concordant class, with multiples if desired. This costs 0 XP under these rules. 9. Immunity to Crapped, Set, Slain, Annihilated, Erased Truename, Down a Hole, Time Erased, Zero MF, etc. 10. Every Normal/Superior/Ultra Familiar. The effects of these are ignored, even those that affect Concordant classes and multipliers. They are simply too easy to destroy/remove under these rules to be effective. 11. Can use an infinite number of actions each (normal game) segment. All non-Immortal actions (the old M, P, V, F, O, and S action system) are 0 actions under this system. 12. Infinite (and at same time evade) all forms of normal and irreducible BlahR (MR, PsiR, etc.), except GR (the only one used in these rules). Sources of GR that do not come from these rules do not function.   As a basic rule of thumb: If the effect you are generating is 10th Spell Level or less, comes from a x0/x1 source, or comes from a non-Concordant class, the effect does absolutely nothing under these rules. You can still use them, and they actually do have a (visual) effect, but the Immortal opponent is assumed to have recovered instantly (at no cost) or he was simply immune.

[X1.3] How to Create an Immortal Player Character

Reference the following sections to create an immortal character. If you are converting a "normal" Collective character to this system, you can skip steps 8, 9 and 10.   1. [X1.4] Immortal Ability Scores 2. [X1.5] Immortal Races 3. [X1.6] Class(es) 4. [X1.7] Maximum Spell Level and Number of Powers for each of the 6 power types. 5. [X2] Power Lists 6. [X1.8] Immortal Hit Points 7. [X1.8] Immortal Saves 8. [A1] Alignment 9. [P1.14] "normal" Magic/Psionic Items, see also [X1.21] Artifacts/Relics/Omens 10. [P1.19] Last check and Name   The following "normal" aspects of character creation are not used: Age, Weapon/Nonweapon Proficiencies*, Martial Arts, Kits*, Normal Equipment, Spellbooks, THAC0, AC. (* means these theoretically exist but are not developed here)

[X1.4] Immortal Ability Scores

Instead of numeric ratings, each of the six ability scores is given a multiplier rating such as x2. For Concordant characters, you start with x2 in all ability scores. Godly characters start with xN in all ability scores, where N is the multiplier of the class they are in (i.e., N=3 for the Demigod class). You can then do "1 for 1" trading as you like, stats cannot go below x0; above x9 is expensive (see below). Regardless of what class you are, you get 1 "ability score multiplier point" (hereafter written as +x1) per 6 levels of the highest class in your current multiplier. Multipliers above x9 each cost 10 multiplier points, unless you are located in the Ultraplanes (this is why the gods had a huge war over the Ultraplanes after the x14 Gun destroyed the Ultraplanar Beings for a short time). If you are modifying a "normal" PC, try to make your ability scores seem similar to the original feel of the character, using the criteria below. It is not important to have a high Int if the normal version of your character has a high Int; the idea here is to partially capture "what the character does".   STRENGTH modifies Warrior-like abilities [X1.11] and also affects your Immortal Damage [X1.8]. DEXTERITY modifies Rogue-like abilities [X1.14] and also affects your Physical Saving Throws [X1.8]. CONSTITUTION modifies Physical Psionics [X1.15] and also affects your Immortal Hit Points [X1.8]. INTELLIGENCE modifies Wizard-like abilities [X1.12] and also affects the number of spells you can have running. WISDOM modifies Priest-like abilities [X1.13] and also affects your Mental Saving Throws [X1.8]. CHARISMA modifies Mental Psionics [X1.16] and also affects Spheres of Influence/Followers (not covered here).   If this is a new character, take the final multiplier for each ability score and multiply it by 25. Then apply 36 stat points anywhere. This is your "normal" ability score (for purposes of translating back to the normal game). There are no subability scores. Astral Projection (and it's inverse) does not affect Immortal stats.

[X1.5] Immortal Races

Most Immortals are the "normal race", which covers almost every normal Collective race and has no modifiers. XP Divisor does not go away with high level, unlike the normal Collective.

[X1.6] Immortal Classes

Req is Ability Score Requirements; you must have at least a x2 in each of the relevant ability scores. ihp, "iTH", "P Save", "M Save" are modifiers to Immortal Hit Points, To Hit, Physical Saves, and Mental Saves. War, "Rog", "PPsi", "Wiz", "Pri", and "MPsi" modify [X1.7] Max Spell Level. Note they are in stat order. XP amounts are in millions (MXP).

GODLY CLASSES   There is 1 class for each multiplier starting at x3. You must be 36th level in a class of the previous multiplier before you can advance to the next one. The XP requirements for each is 0 at level 1, then (Mult)x(Mult)x100 MXP per level thereafter; e.g. the x5 Godly class "Intermediate God" requires 2500 MXP per level. They provide no adjustments, as they are the "simplest" class for each multiplier (similar to Imm0). Non-standard classes have existed (the x3 "Mortal-Hunter" class I mentioned once) like those for x2, but are fairly rare.

[X1.7] Maximum Spell Level and Number of Powers

As mentioned before, each of the 6 ability scores matches up with a group of powers, as follows: STRENGTH modifies Warrior-like abilities [X1.11] and also affects your Immortal Damage [X1.8]. DEXTERITY modifies Rogue-like abilities [X1.14] and also affects your Physical Saving Throws [X1.8]. CONSTITUTION modifies Physical Psionics [X1.15] and also affects your Immortal Hit Points [X1.8]. INTELLIGENCE modifies Wizard-like abilities [X1.12] and also affects the number of spells you can have running. WISDOM modifies Priest-like abilities [X1.13] and also affects your Mental Saving Throws [X1.8]. CHARISMA modifies Mental Psionics [X1.16] and also affects Spheres of Influence/Followers (not covered here).   For all 6 of the groups of powers (even the ones you seem weak in), and for each class, calculate the following:   Max Spell Level = 10 + (Relevant Ability Score) + (Class Modifier) with a minimum of 9 + (Your Multiplier), which you have an infinite number of powers of that level. Number of Powers of that Level = (Experience Level in that Class) - (Spell Level) + 10 + (That Class's Multiplier) with a minimum of 1. By "That Class's Multiplier", I mean 2 for any Concordant, and N for Godly classes. Then, for each spell level below that Spell Level, double the Number of Powers (e.g. if you have six 14th level powers, you would have twelve 13th level powers). When you get to Spell Level lower than 10+(Your Multiplier), then number of powers is infinite (e.g. all x2 beings have an infinite number of 11th level and lower powers).   Maximum number of effects running that last 1 turn = (Your Multiplier) x (Your Int). This is usually a low number.

[X1] Immortals Rules

[X1.8] Immortal Combat System

IMMORTAL HIT POINTS ihp = (Level in Highest Multiplier Class) x (Con) with a minimum of 1. Each ihp is assumed to be an infinite number of hp's. They are not healed by non-Concordant effects such as Heal or Reset, of course. Note that ihp's are not based on your multiplier, so (for example) low level Intermediate Gods have few ihp's. ihp's are identical to normal hp's for consciousness: 0 ihp = Alive but can't be offensive -1 to -10 ihp = Unconscious, lose 1 ihp per round -11 ihp and below = Dead on this plane for (-ihp-10) yrs IMMORTAL DAMAGE As 1G action, you can make a "Godly attack". This is a gross physical attack that damages ihp's. This attack affects 1 target. There is no saving throw. If used on a Mortal, apply 1 effect from step 9 of [X1.2] per point of damage. idmg = (1d100 TH roll, adjusted by Race, Class, and Weapon) / 100 x (You or Your Weapon's Multiplier) x (Str) rounded down, with a minimum of 0 damage. The TH roll can be adjusted over 100, allowing you to do above "maximum" normal damage. IMMORTAL SAVES AND GR For any effect other than Godly attacks, you may first make a GR roll. Reducible GR is adjusted 25% based on the difference in you and the opponents' multipliers. If you make the GR roll, the part of the spell/effect that affects you is ignored. There are 2 save categories: "P Save" (vs. War/Rog/PPsi) and "M Save" (vs. Wiz/Pri/MPsi). Roll a d20, what you need to save = the spell level of the effect. P Saves have an adjustment of Str+Dex*2+Con-10. M Saves have an adjustment of Int+Wis*2+Chr-10. Saves are also adjusted by Race, Class, and items. They are *not* adjusted by level either up or down. A natural 20 automatically saves, a natural 1 automatically misses. IMMORTAL COMBAT SYSTEM 1 segment per round, the "PC side" then the "MPC side". Each character gets 1G (Godly) action per round and any number of non-Concordant actions per round. You can make an attack ("Immortal Damage" above), cast a spell of one of 6 Power types, or use an Artifact/Relic/Omen.
