| #1darth_singeSep 14, 2009 0:18:17 | Yup, its another one of those threads.
Anyhew, this is what I've come up with in the past 2 hours. Mind you this is a very rough cut, i haven't even spell checked it yet. When I like it enough, I may port it into d&d and into my Modern/4e hybrid. it is based on the heritage type feats (ala the Dhampyre stuff), though I have done it based on templates in the past.
enjoy

Prerequisite: Must be human
Benefit: You are immortal, and can be affected by powers, effects, and abilities that target or specifiy immortals. You stop aging, and can never die of old age.

Effect: You gain 1 quickening point. In addition, you may retrain any feat you have for any Quickening or Immortal Bloodline feat your opponent had.
Quickening Points
Quickening Points are a lot like action points and have some things in common with healing surges. They allow you to do things beyond the normal ken of mortal man. Normally you can spend only one quickening point per encounter (see ‘Facing Another Immortal’ below). Like healing surges, your total number of quickening points are returned to you at the end of an extended rest. You may spend a quickening point to gain one of the following benefits:
-Gain 1 action point.
-Gain a +5 bonus to any single skill check or ability check.
-Spend a healing surge.
-Gain proficiency with a single weapon or type of armor until the end of the encounter.
-Activate a feat or power that requires you to spend a quickening point.
-Get a +1 bonus to a single attack roll.
You can gain quickening points in a few different ways. The first way is by using the Absorb Quickening power after killing another immortal in combat. Also, each time you gain a level, you gain a quickening point.
Facing Another Immortal
The cardinal rule among the immortals is that there can be only one. They must fight for an enigmatic prioze, which has been rumored to be the ability to use all the powers of all the immortals to have ever lived. Such power indeed. When facing another immortal in combat, there are a few special rules that apply (these are not the honorary rules of the game. See ‘Rules of The Game’ below).
First, an immortal combatant may spend any number of quickening points during an encounter (but no more than one per round) when facing another immortal.
Second, if an immortal scores a critical hit on another immortal, there is a chance the immortal who suffered the critical hit is decapitated. The immortal who scored the critical hit rolls another d20. If the result is another natural 20, the immortal that suffered the critical hit must make a saving throw or be decapitated.
Lastly, any time one immortal perfroems a Coup De Grace on another immortal, the immortal that suffered the Coup De Grace is decapitated.
