[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 4698015, member: 326"] Hey there Ace! :) I have none in Godsend at the moment, but I really should put some in there. I do have a lot of notes on the matter, so it should just be a matter of copying them up. I have also been working on a new idea wherein each pantheon would be a tangible thing and have a 'Level' in tandem with a 'Classification' (Like Demigod, Greater God and so forth, but for Pantheons). Of course one 'problem' with that approach is that all pantheons are not created equal. Which would force it into a sub-pantheon or some sort of pantheon conglomorate for protection. The benefit of this system is that you can tailor it to specific period of history so for instance during the height of the Roman Empire, their Pantheon would have been very powerful because of the population of the Empire. Its also possible to tailor galactic pantheons and so forth. However, I am still in the process of balancing these nuances and I am not sure if this will end up in Godsend. Probably in some 4E Immortals Index book (should such ever surface). For 3E Quick Pantheon Creation rules I suggest: Each Pantheon starts with a Factor of 72 Each Greater God is worth 8 Each Intermediate God is worth 4 Each Lesser God is worth 2 Each Demigod is worth 1 Quasi-deities and Hero-deities not a factor. [B][U]Typical Pantheon breakdown. e.g. Norse Pantheon[/U][/B] 1 Greater God = 8 9 Intermediate Gods (one of each Alignment) = 36 9 Lesser Gods (one of each Alignment) = 18 10 Demigods = 10 [B][U]Other possibilities[/U][/B] 9 Greater Gods = 72 18 Intermediate Gods = 72 36 Lesser Gods = 72 72 Demigods = 72 [B][U]Hindu Pantheon[/U][/B] 3 Greater God = 24 7 Intermediate Gods = 28 9 Lesser Gods = 18 2 Demigods = 2 [B][U]Abyss[/U][/B] 0 Greater Gods 0 Intermediate Gods 6 Lesser Gods = 12 60 Demigods = 60 The Pantheon Levelling system would have sorted that out mathematically. Prior to that I would have made all pantheons roughly equal. Hope the above at leats gives you a headstart. [/QUOTE]
