I was being facetious. :)

That's him, and he has stats! Let's kill him! :) ;)

If I recall from Deities & Demigods, there are at least 2 pantheons (Egyptian "Atum" and one other) that had creator gods, that faded into the background after their work was done, and lead the way for the more relatable human-centric gods.

Well of course. People have been attributing human characteristics to gods since forever. "god made man in his image"... It's the height of human hubris to think they are at or nearly on par with beings who created the planes of existence. - even in a small way, such as appearance.

I like a combat focus with a story developing as events unfold, and the PCs interact with the world. My view of "serious" is making sure tactical combat stays within the parameters of the rules, so that the PC's have to make meaningful choices. So, in other words, if a spell has a range of 60...

Yes, that's where it comes from. I just don't care for it. It's one thing for the gods to interfere/intervene with mortal affairs, and another to see them hanging around Olympus acting like the characters in a reality show.

That's the thing. IMO, it shouldn't be interactable. What's the point of being a deity if you're just a little stronger than the most powerful mortals. I know it's popular, but I never cared for the notion that the gods are driven by human-like needs/motivations, their immortality being the...

I'd give you more than 100 likes for that comment if I could.

I could give you examples, but I might get smacked for introducing politics into the thread.

When I moved from my college dorm to my first apartment, I got rid of a lot of D&D stuff. I've regretted it ever since I've seen the prices people are willing to pay on eBay.

He would be 100x worse than the the current Hasbro executives, IMO.

I respectfully disagree. IMO, deities should be more than a bag of hp that high level PCs have a good chance of defeating. Not just tier 4 vs. tier 5. More like tier 4 vs. tier 347.

That was fought with fiddles, not swords... :)

I don't know why they provided stats other than for potential fights with PC's, but at the very least, it provides some objective way to judge relative strength/power among deities. Should mortals even be able to fight deities? Don't get me started....

This add on module should let you import from Pathbuilder. https://foundryvtt.com/packages/pathmuncher

I say we should avoid giving Musk any free publicity, or taking much of what he says seriously.

Just joined and following EN World. Paizo too. I never joined Twitter, so this is new. Blue Sky looks pretty chaotic and unstructured, unlike a forum. A lot of seemly random stuff. Here's hoping that BlueSky is able to maintain it's popularity, and grows large enough to become a viable...

There we go. With this radical change, no one will recognize me.

I think Rule 0 should be defined at Session 0. If everyone at the table agrees to the rules at session 0, rule zero will come naturally.

I'll just say I disagree with the 2024 DMG re: deities, and leave it at that. One thing that I like about 5E is that (with few exceptions) it doesn't give stat blocks to deities. While I did enjoy reading Deities and Demigods as a kid, IMO, gods should be several orders of magnitude in power...
