Godforged Colossus Features
All Godforged Colossi have the following features.
Godforged Resilience (21st Level): Your body is slowly being covered in godstone plating. Increase your size to large. Increase your Constitution score and Speed by 2.You also gain resist 5 +1/2 level psychic and resist 5+1/2 level force.
Godforged Immunity (24th Level): You are slowly becoming a true construct, fully enjoying the benefits. You gain immunity to disease, poison, sleep and fear.
Godforged Indomitability (30th Level):Your sacred body has been completely immersed in the power of the godstones, giving you the power to shrug off any potentially fatal blow that your adversaries may deal to you. You can act even if your hit points are less than zero, you still have to make death saving throws and you still die at the negative of your bloodied value. Your size becomes huge and your speed increases by 2.

Godforged Colossus Power

Unsettling Vibrations Godforged Colossus Utility 26

Mechanisms in your body forces the area around you to reverberate in a cacophony of noise and energy. The enemies want to stop the torment... now!

Daily * Stance, Psychic

Standard Action Area Close burst 2

Effect: When you execute this power, all enemies in the area are marked (save ends). As long as they are in range, they receive a -2 penalty to attack rolls, skill checks and saving throws. This stance lasts until you move at least 3 squares, fall unconscious or the encounter ends.

Okay, before I accidentally delete this thread again, let me reiterate:
*ED Utility is at 26. b_b suggests a massive resist boost, and that has potential as ED utilities are usually hp-based. I want to hear other ideas first, though.
*Immortality is defined as becoming like K'maht. (Of course, a much better wording is preffered)

Tech Team! No new ideas yet?

How does one transform from vanilla construct to almighty colossus? They eat them ala one of those PrC from CArc?
Powers?

Are they ultra-strong and touch and big like Marvel Colossus? Level 21 class feature suggests so. Does it feel like it is tough and strong? Stat boosts is cool but you can be more creative than that.

Also, I find the flavor lacking or incomplete and we need that flavor as a basis of its power. Everyone can pitch in their ideas but it will lack coherence.

BJ, I think it is a good idea to have an iconic Godforged Colossus. Maybe that guy was a mysterious construct of immense power, size, and strength. Or maybe a leader of some sort that today has followers trying to revive/call/find/resurrect/etc.

This one is a good start of us having unique classes.

I'm having problems with the 24th level features. While comparing it to the core ED features of the same level, they don't share any similarity to each other. The only thing that they feature is that they have some way of altering their fortune in one way or another. Demigods evade death the first time they encounter it in the day. Archmages have an Arcane body and etc. I have to think of a way to let them feel... epic.

How about having them die at -hp instead of -bloodied? Or let them continue acting even while at negative (as warforged, they'll always pass their death saving throw anyway).

Or both? Twisted Evil

Edit: Made the 24th level Destiny Feature. It is still unnamed as of today.

Ideas for utility:

*make him invulnerable until start of next turn, kinda like scarab of immortality, but maybe too strong.
*immediate reaction, encounter, : trigger: when hit by an attack. Reduce damage equal to level. (just a stronger version of Ultimate Parry of kensei)

that's what I got so far.

I was thinking of giving the utility invulnerability and minor regeneration. I don't know how much as of yet. 10 if large and maybe 15 or 20 if huge.

Invulnerability = immune to damage

BUMP oghma.

Another idea of mine:

Hmm, maybe we can set up a discussion thread on this one? That way we can leave this page for the initial proposal and revisions agreed upon, while we can talk about mechanics suggestions and critique in the disc. thread.

I don't see the necessity. Other proposals get such a format because there's more than one post of "proposals". Like the monster threads and the unique entity threads. However, in this case, the proposal is in the first post only. Beats skipping from tab to tab.

Admittedly, though, it's entirely possible that I'm just not in the mood to split anything atm. Laughing

BUMP oghma!!

Unless someone still has ideas, I moved that GFC should be finalized and be prepared for beta-testing.

It still needs a Utility power, erwin.

*rechecks*

Well, that's weird... Warforged die at their negative hit point, and not at their negative bloodied?

I think a BT houserule is in order...

ADD: tbc is now a COPAL. Welcome. Cool

Admittedly, I am using the MM version of the Warforged as my basis. I can't find the special Race PDF that came out via Wizards on my drive right now, I'm gonna see if that's got a significant difference.

Welcome t-b-c.
Good thing you saw that, it could cause us some problems at the future.

Well, some of us has already given ideas/thoughts about what the utility would be. I say that oghma should choose/make one now, so we could test the abilities/powers, and we could check the abilities/powers' strengths and weaknesses. Then we could edit or remove them, put new ideas, test it, check for its flaws. Rinse and repeat until we see a proper build.

I talked this up with Adam and Adrian this afternoon, and we thought that they meant "normal negative hitpoint total", ie the negative bloodied amount.

It still doesn't stack too well with this Epic Destiny feature, though.

Yeah, we've discussed it(just a while ago), and though we didn't had the same solution as yours, we had the same result. Very Happy

oghma should be editing this sometime tomorrow.

BUZZ oghma!

BUMP everyone! Please finish this one!

Pardon the delays, once I get the acads out of the way I will finish this pronto.

Me, oghma and erwin already discussed this one at length. The ideas were written down, and now it just has to be updated. By oghma.

oghma, if there are some complications from the version we last discussed, feel free to discuss them here. But as project lead, keep updating the alpha, even if it means you put in a lot of incomplete ideas.
