Rob, I don't mean to interject but I agree entirely with WarDragon. With all respect to U_K who has managed to preserve balance at higher levels, High Lords, in my limited playtesting, completely overwhelm lesser foes. I don't believe that 1 billion Seraphim would have hope. A Triad without...

Hey U_K! :) I don't know if I could distinguish an intermediate deity from a lesser deity offhand anyway. This is a good question but difficult until we see the power levels associated with each level. The greater the distinctions between each level the more I would favor the latter and...

Wow.

Hey U_K! You might have me confused with someone else dude. But if this was a joke it was hilarious. :lol:

U_K, I put down 8 as I tend to think that's a happy medium. Each successive Divine Status should be about roughly twice as tough (on average) as the one before it. I think if the level of power is compressed, meaning the nest highest rank isn't at least twice as tough, then it's really hard...

That's kind of what I was hoping for. Well said. Agreed. Interesting, finite but boundless? Mine aren't particularly well developed either.

Just trying to put some "apparents" into better focus. :uhoh: In terms of time it took about 8 minutes maybe. I also am very clear that, assuming an infinite time resourse, mortals will inevitably reach the pinnacle of technology in option # 1. In #2 there is no physical limit to reach but...

Sorry it didn't meet with better reception. Of those four possibilities outlined which one best fits you view of things? It's either possibility # 1, 2, or 4 but I can't tell which -- my best guess would be either #1 or #2 but I can't rule out #4. The box was really only an organizational...

I've had a few more thoughts that I think will contribute to the debate and I would credit all who have weighed in. This is kind of thinking along the lines of a four part box using Ltheb's distinction between cognitive and physical limits.. I don't know how to replicate a box in thread but...

Hey paradox42, I have been limiting myself largely to the Galactus vs. Reed vs. Doom debate. It's a bit more accesible to testing although I would be the first to admit it's not the only comparison one could make. Although I wouldn't so I've based my opinion solely on comic books. :p...

How did I brush anything off? Here's the quote: You're right, comparing Reed to Galactus is apples to oranges. That's why Galactus is ascribed to a higher tech level. But they haven't; not even close. Why not? Because Galactus hasn't educated them? Even if they were to advance by...

Which ones benefit yours? It directly relevant when you're comparing G's accomplishments to theirs. They haven't written G's tech yet. C'mon, apples to oranges. What exactly is the point then? Nevertheless, the Destroyer is a product of technology is it not? Are you getting it...

And what is the limit of humanity's tech? And please don't tell me there is no limit to humanity's tech because no one has proven there is a limit to humanity's tech. From your sources: "Unattainable" being the operative word. I dare say G can travel faster than light. Compared to...

If he relied only on his own power he would be a large sun. The armor he crafted via technology allows him to be. His technology allows him to consume more efficiently. Otherwise it would be a planet per day, not per month. The raw energy required to feed would in may instances offset the...

Accepting the idea isn't concommitant to accepting the testimony of every eyewitness claiming to see a visitor irrespective of similarities in their accounts and I quite honestly have no idea whether aliens do or don't exist or whether they have visited this planet. That said, I recognize that...

I think the tech is the means and the eating is the end. In fairness to your point Michael Korvac did steal some of G's power through technology. Although he had been augmented to superhuman levels but the augmentations were essentially of mortal design as best I can remember. Korvac also...

Excellent point. As a matter of fact both Doom and Reed Richards as of the current continuity are both beyond human, although neither started that way.

You've got a nice theory Ltheb. Really I think the debate regarding the obtainability of tech levels boils down to two essential questions. First, are some beings hamstrung by inherently lower cognitive limits than others? I would certainly say so but I think Farealmer3 has been saying no...

Point well made. In hindsight it wasn't the best example. Not the "UFO community!" :p Just kidding; that said, that's a highly speculative contention wouldn't you say? Which indirectly supports the argument of the limits of humanity in its currently evolutionary stage.

I hear you. :) The fact that it hasn't been constructively replicated by humanity is overwhelming evidence. You believe Reed Richards is capable of understanding all of the nuances of G's tech with some personal instruction from G and presumably a great deal of time. While I disagree, your...
