[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 8075312, member: 83242"] I haven't done a close review, but the issue is really that there is so much. That is the problem with deity stat blocks in general. They can do so much before the become difficult to manage. I will just state that I think the whole thing is to much for a typical 5e monster. The 5e standard is really one page max for a stat block and some of your non combat traits would be in a typical stat block and then it becomes really big. You really need a new type of deity entry (that is what I am trying to make with my immortal rules). So you have to make a choice: [LIST=1] [*]Include everything I want and just except it is a bit of an unwieldy mess and love it for its flavor and inclusiveness. Except that a god is not an easy thing to manage and embrace it. This is basically what I did with my Mythic Tiamat (though I could have gone crazier, so I guess I did a bit of #2). [*]Pair it down to its essentials, the biggest impact bits and get it on one page. [*]Refer to a standard. If you look at my [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/5e-epic-monster-updates.468639/post-6701417']5e Epic Updates[/URL] you can see a lot things say: refer to Greater God Traits or whatever. If you get some standard deity traits you can reference those. [/LIST] So, it you choose #1, I think you are good to go. If you choose #2, you have a lot of work to do to decide what to cut (or combine). [/QUOTE]
