[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 8136822, member: 326"] Howdy Drazen mate, :) 5E is a bit tricky in that the numbers look even more arbitrary than previous editions. Ability Scores are capped at 30; which is somewhat like 1st Edition. PC level is capped at 20, so there won't be any Level 54 Paladins to take down a Time Lord. The two schools of thought on determining Overdeity CRs (for 5E) would seem to be: 1. Base them on interactions with Level 20 PCs (since there are no official rules for anything higher other than epic boons). That seems to lead to the lower set of numbers. 2. Come up with some measurement that splices the divine strata down from CR 100 and then 'rustle up' some divine rules*. *That path is fraught with peril, given my tardiness. I was thinking of implementing Divine Levels as follows (and yes this deviates from the 3.5E Divinity Templates in Ascension; but 3.5E didn't have a Level Cap) Hero-deity: Level 21-25 Quasi-deity: Level 26-30 Demi-deity: Level 31-35 Lesser Deity: Level 36-40 Intermediate Deity: Level 41-45 Greater Deity: Level 46-50 The thing to catch here is that Level is not CR. One Level is about 2/3rds of a CR. So Level 20 is CR 13 or 14. So this parallels nicely with the official CRs for known deities and Demon Princes etc. Continuing that and a Time Lord would be Level 81+ which is approx. CR 54. It sounds crazy low to anyone who played 3.5E, but again, the numbers are arbitrary. [/QUOTE]
