OK. I'm digging this. Thanks for input! As soon as Chronicler Companion is released (C'mon Chaosium! ) I'm gonna work on a quite different form of Deities & Demigods and needed a starting place.

I totally agree 1d8. I'm planning on using the stats to represent an Avatar of the deity, or it's physical presence in the mortal plane. Mythology is chocked full of "heroes" defeating aspects of deities. While allowing such is not my goal, I want players to have an opportunity to interact with them since there is a priest (from Magic Book) in group and they will be facing a rival deities cult.

I'll help in any way I can.

Think I like seneschals numbers better. Lol. Does Malleus Monstorum have higher powers? Have to go look.

That's a demigod???????? To be clear, a demigod is the offspring of a deity and mortal? Like...Perseus or Hercules? Wow!

I really wanna base my work off of cannon material and not my own (sometimes lame) conversions. Might have to bite the bullet for Cthulhu 6...

I know there's a couple books out there that give stats for higher powers but I really would just like some examples without wasting a purchase. Can someone give me an idea of power levels for minor and greater deities so I have an idea? Thanks in advance! (Without breaking any copyright laws )

My objective is not necessarily conversion as much as educating. I played several systems for YEARS B4 I was introduced to the fluffy goodness that is BRP. With so many different games flooding the market, and free retro-clones available for free, I just Hope to find others that are possibly like I was. Ignorant of this great option.

Hey Nick, any chance to see the cover art for this? Be a neat teaser for my Magic World FB page.

What if you worked it like some people do two weapon fighting? That is have 3 seperate skills. Auditory Control, Light Control, and a form of Artistry. The control powers are used as normal to manipulate the energy and Artisty to fashion it into the desired shape. Or you could use a form of mental control that just makes the target think they see/hear the illusion and have to spend more power dependant on number of targets you want affected by it. Of course,this might all be over complicating it. The Illusion spell in the BRP book is pretty powerful and creating a second power Sound Control or Sound Mimicry that uses the same principles as the illusion spell and combine them requiring double power to cast should be acceptable. I'd allow it in my campaign anyway.

It was a big file so admin had to upload it. Mayhap our illustrious leader has it on hard drive somewhere...

Imagine a World where people just owned superior products instead of emulating them with inferior products... *DUCKING*

Easy Peasy. Finish and submit to Chaosium , they release it 5 years later, you rake in TENS of dollars.

Well, AFTER the thesis, get ahold of Chaosium and offer to make the real deal. Chaosium could then sell books to import as updates and give you a piece for coding them!

As far as functionality, I believe your project should have a goal of being flexible. That is, users can customize enough aspects of software to be useable in multiple incarnations of BRP. Growing up I used Core Rules software for AD&D exclusively because it was very customization friendly. I paid around $100 for the software and expansions. And this was 20 years ago! Software on par with Core Rules... for BRP? I'll throw $$ at THAT!

Wow. Very nice suggestions/advice guys. Thanks so much!

I've made a Magic World character generator using NBOS and posted here: Wouldn't be too hard to convert it to BRP. Just change some of the skill names, ect... Also, Lonewolf has HeroLab which does CoC and some BRP. I've been trying to get them to release a full BRP datapack for awhile now. A few more people there pushing for it couldn't hurt! http://www.wolflair.com/index.php?context=hero_lab

Any chance of getting this re-uploaded? It appears the DL is broken...

I'm thinking about starting a new PlayByPost campaign over at the Unseen Servant. It's a zombie apocalypse fasioned after The Walking Dead. Haven't set it in stone just yet but wanted to invite anyone from here who might be interested. http://www.unseenservant.us/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=4313&p=183352#p183352

I'm not sure. You'd have to check the NBOS forums.

Also as the Chronicler, you don't HAVE to call for obvious easy skill rolls. I will typically only call for a skill roll from perception list if the target of the skill is actively rolling a skill to hide or deceive. The person skilled in hiding or deceiving, as example, might be much better at doing so than the one initiating the perception skill roll is at spotting it. That's just tough. Put some of those free experience gain points in perception skills. If there is NO target rolling against the initiator, such as a hidden door as example, I usually make it an easy Skill roll if tthey're actively searching.

Bah! I was screwing with an update and might have accidentally messed the code up. Looks like you got it working. It's not TOO difficult to figure out, but can be a pain. Lemme know if you have other issues. On that note, does anybody fInd a use for this? Like it? Hate it? Suggestions?

Hey Ptingler, can I link that from my FB page?

So you gain different types of bonuses by being Allied (more points in) each Force(Light, Shadow, Balance). When you eventually (if ever) reach 100 AND 20 more points than any other Allegiance you can gain Apotheosis, which is pretty much like becoming a faithful servant of that force, gaining some wonderful benefits based on that force. The book reads: Champion of Shadow: 1. Magic Points double 2.Chance to commune with a higher power of the Shadow 3. Chance of resurrection Champion of Balance: 1. Hit Points become SIZ+CON+POW (instead of SIZE+CON) Champion of Light: 1. Settle a new land and rules over d100+100 sq. Miles 2. Chance to commune with higher power of the Light. OK. Here's my question to those who are familiar (or the number crunchers): Would it be game breaking if the benefits of Apotheosis weren't restricted by the force? I was thinking of allowing a player who obtains Apotheosis to pick any 2. Thoughts? Also I'm thinking about adding some other benefits. Chaosium is releasing a new supplement called Chroniclers Companion, that will supposedly give new perspective to the Allegiance system and I was thinking how certain deities might reward Allegiance. Any suggestions on different benefits would be appreciated!
