So put 5-B at the maximum known rating and include the previously linked quote in a possibly far higher section?

Yeah that sounds about right. Wish D&D was more consistent.
If we add these keys, would Elminster/Mordenkainen/etc scale to Epic and Legendary adventurers? Never really dealt with them much so I'm a tad unfamiliar.

Iirc Mordenkainen and his circle of friends were smashed by a Demigod Vecna so probably not. I also don't think Elminster has delt with upper tier cosmic threats before.

Got his stats. I'll add a link to his Ruby Rod in the CRT thing

I mean. Being smashed by a High 6-A doesn't bar you from 6-B to High 6-B, but noted. Also, didn't Bigby and them battle Iuz, the cambion guy? And Im sure I've heard Elminster being attacked by an Archdevil.

Oh that's what you meant. Yeah I think they'd qualify for a at least 6-B/High 6-B rating

Considering the blatant statement of "Archdevil is basically a god" would it be a safe assumption that they have a lot of the same standard powers (at least so far as Concept Manip, Mid-Godly regen, etc)?
- 20,611
- 17,610
In some books I do believe it mentions that a Archdevil/Demon Lord is god-like while in their realms (like a Divine Rank 0-6), but usually they're still noted as being a step beneath a full on god. Maybe a possibly statistic or something?

Since we're doing a profile update while acknowledging contradictory origin stories, should we also include the 5D Snake origin?

More weird rivers in D&D. Though not as weird as the Styx or those sun sized rivers in Ysgard

Huh.......
According to Gygax apparently magical weapons extend into multiple different planes of existence . Which is why a +[whatever] weapon is needed to hit some enemies since they exist on multiple other planes. That's something I guess. Also possible evidence for multiple temporal dimensions since the base Multiverse is called 4D.
Guess that also may explain why Adventures can harm beings that are just abstract concepts

Lavos sword? Also Bambu if you now someone who understands the temporal dimensions thing ask them to check out D&D thing. The Gygax quote may mean that the 5D guys are Immeasurable againDMUA said:

5D already gets you Immeasurable speed by default though
See this thread where this seems like a consistent confusion over the rating
Also, the joke is that... Well I just didn't initally understand that he meant it exists on all levels rather then having versions of itself across existence
I still don't understand the reference

Lavos is a popular character who has his main deal being that if you kill one, he exists in every single universe in the multiverse so that one will then come back. Acausality (Type 3) at it's finest and a pretty damn strong character.

Nifty. Anyways multiple temporal dimensions + them existing on multiple different planes at once should mean the 5D dudes have a decent argument for the rating again.

Serpent's Coil: Brutally repressed rumors suggest that there is more to Asmodeus than he admits. The story goes that the true form of Asmodeus actually resides in the deepest rift of Nessus called the Serpent's Coil. The shape seen by all the other devils of the Nine Hells in the fortress of Malsheem is actually a highly advanced use of the project image spell or an avatar of some sort.
The secret rift, formed by Asmodeus's plummeting body when he first arrived in the Nine Hells, spirals inward over the course of hundreds of miles. His titanic, miles-long form still rests here—and his wounds have yet to heal. His acid-black blood pools in the hollows of the rift, a substance fouler than foul.
From where fell Asmodeus? Was he once a greater deity cast down from Elysium or Celestia, or is he older yet, as the rumor hints? Perhaps he represents some fundamental entity whose mere existence pulls the multiverse into its current configuration.
Nobody who tells the story of Asmodeus's "true" form lives more than 24 hours after repeating it aloud. But dusty scrolls in hard-to-reach libraries (such as Demogorgon's citadel in the Abyss) yet record this knowledge. Unless it is pure fancy, of course.
Why must you be a troll Asmodeus' origin story.

So before I get started with the sandbox, should I include a key for the world serpent origin? Because 2 editions mention it, which is the same amount as the angel origin. If added it would be "At least 2-A" due to creating the multiverse and being able to survive its complete destruction.

To avoid death by walls of text I have created a Sandbox for Asmodeus. How does everything look at the moment?
