[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 4712788, member: 12731"] This. I would never consider the published stats to be that of the true god itself. That might work for campaign settings such as Forgotten Realms, where gods and epic adventurers routinely (well...) kill off troublesome gods and take their stuff (their portfolios). The farthest I would be willing to stretch it is that while you can't fight a God, you can work to diminish its influence. Basically, reduce the faith and worship directed at it. And it is here I can see a place for the Avatars (the level 35 monsters that WotC have statted up). Instead of spending decades converting the masses away from worshipping a certain god, it can be a more appropriate action for epic heroes to fight and defeat the god's avatar to acomplish the same thing. The god won't be destroyed, but the defeat of the avatar could mean a serious blow to the faith of the populace, which pretty much amounts to the same thing. Of course, if or when WotC decide to publish an Immortals Tier Handbook (player character options for levels 31-40), they need to retcon the existing stats as not-quite-the-god anyway... [/QUOTE]
