Ladder after Legendary

[narphoenix]

This is something to keep the ladder after Legendary (+8) all in one place. Please suggest any adjectives/values your group has used or that you propose.  I have teen the liberty of filling in some of the ones I propose/have seen.

(+9): Awesome,
(+10): Wow,
(+11):
(+12):
(+13):
(+14): Ridiculous,
(+15): Ludicrous,
(+16):

(I actually know so little about whatever this "dfrpg" is that I thought it was a video game for several months. I am under the impression that these are basically ways of expressing "Over 9000" in increasingly convoluted ways)

(+9): Stupendous
(+10): Breathtaking
(+11): Overwhelming
(+12): Majestic
(+13): Wondrous
(+14): Unbelievable
(+15): Magnificent
(+16): Exalted

Pretty much.

Numerical values in this game are attached to adjectives. So Athletics 5 is the same as Superb Athletics.

The highest adjective is Legendary, for the number 8. And Legendary is a hard word to top. But sometimes people roll above 8, so...

Anyway, I've seen some post-Legendary adjectives in one of my PbP games.

Arcane uses Awesome for 9, Stupendous for 10, and Superlative for 11.

Hick Jr proposed the following ladder:

+18-Heroic
+17-Godlike
+16-Flawless
+15-Stylish
+14-Awesome
+13-Marvelous
+12-Crazy
+11-Superlative
+10-Ludicrous
+9-Amazing

Heroic is above Godlike?

Anyway, if you have a pure mortal, are really good at Evocation, or are using Thaumaturgy, getting that high is quite easy.

[Sanctaphrax]

I also thought that that was weird.

[Mr. Ghostbuster]

9+ Heroic
12+ Mythic
15+ Godlike
20+ Why did you even roll?
25+ Cheater

I'm kidding about that last one. Mostly.

You forgot "Goddess-like."

Out of interest, are you planning to do something with these tiers? From what I understand Legendary is where folks like Mab and Ferro are at. I'd imagine anything run with this stuff would have to be called something like "Second War on Heaven: The Warmongering" or "Let's Blow Up All The Outsiders"

Well, actually, it may not be blowing them all up, but the campaign involving the higher ladder does revolve around fighting Outsiders.

I think "Legendary" is more like Mab's base skill, before she rolls the dice and invokes aspects and stuff.

I don't think Mab has much in the way of FPs.

[Mr. Ghostbuster]

I don't think Mab has much in the way of FPs.

Anytime you invoke one of your aspects against someone or their aspects get compelled, they get a fate point.

[narphoenix]

I know that. But she's so far in negative refresh land she probably starts in hefty debt to the GM.

FP debt? That's not how my group does it....

[Sanctaphrax]

Pretty much everything to do with NPCs and FP will vary from group to group.

A character focused on strength can easily go beyond Legendary with their lifting & breaking Might. There are other ways to get numbers that big, including rolling +4 with a Superb skill, but that's the easiest one.

Also: there are some above-Submerged games on the PbP board. My own Enduring the Apocalypse is one of them, and you are of course welcome to read it. (As if you need my permission...)

Depends on the skill. Her Rapport probably isn't Legendary, given how she does socially against Harry Dresden.
