Exactly, that's what they've pretty much said in the various dev articles and such. If you want to fight Vecna, you can't just beat him up; you need to pull some tricks to weaken him, strip him of most of his divine power, and only
then go kill him. Demigods (as I understand it) will be up in that 28-30 range where a group of five epic characters have a decent chance. Orcus and the other Demon Lords are about equal in power to a demigod,
IIRC.
For a good example of how to slay a god, have a look at how Bane got killed during
FR's Time of Troubles -- once sealed in his Avatar form by Elmunchkin (and thus cut off from the majority of his deific power), he got killed in single combat with the demigod Torm, who was probably equivalent to a 30th level solo at the time. (After the battle, Torm moved up from demigod to full deity, but that's beyond the scope of the discussion.)
And yet another word from our sponsors
