That poses the question, do we push former Intermediate Gods up to Greater God or down to Lesser God or both. I am favouring down to Lesser God. With Lesser God just being called 'God'. Personally I prefer to have Greater Deities remain the providence of Pantheon Heads and similarly powerful beings.Thor, to me, is not a Greater God. However, that means you end up squashing the bulk of a Pantheon with a 5-level space. So, some of the weaker Lesser Gods may drop down to demigod.Previously, I had 1 Greater, 9 Intermediate, 9 Lesser and 9 Demigods to a Pantheon, as well as an undisclosed number of quasi-deities or hero-deities. However, I am thinking that Pantheons themselves may have a level, and that level will determine how much XP they have to spend vis-a-vis the number of immortals they can sustain.A typical pantheon may have approx. 20 immortals and an undisclosed number of exalted (quasi to demi-deity) characters.So that may even look like 1 Greater God and 19 Gods.The core D&D 4E Pantheon would be a higher level Pantheon (encompassing an entire world) and thus may be able to sustain 10 Greater Gods and 10 Lesser Gods (pulling figures out of thin air here).</blockquote>
