Roughly speaking 30 levels in 4E could be similar in power to 20 levels in 3/3.5...depending upon different classes - assuming they are balanced this time.I haven't given it much thought beyond the obvious, but the simplest progression after that could be something like:31-35 Hero-deity36-40 Quasi41-45 Demi46-50 Lesser51-55 Inter56-60 Greater61-70 Elder71-80 Over81-90 FirstWith the 30-level immortal span made up of portfolio 'classes', and the next 30-level sidereal span made up of dimensional 'classes'.A prehistorically early appraisal of power would suggest a typical quasi-deity is equal to two 30th-level PCs, a typical lesser deity is equal to five 30th-level PCs and a typical greater deity is equal to ten 30th-level PCs.Early reports infer that Orcus could well be a 30th-level BOSS creature, that is by itself a match for five 30th-level PCs. Which would put Orcus in and around the Lesser Deity range of power which is (in my opinion) roughly where he should be anyway.It does seem like a change back to 1st Edition Deities & Demigods/Legends & Lore type mortal vs. immortal power, which is probably a good thing.Of course I have jumped to some conclusions in my above observations.</blockquote>
