Without portfolios the suffix of 'deity' is borderline meaningless. If the most powerful heroes from a mythos are not hero-deities/quasi-deities then that half of the tier is likely to be filled by a bunch of obscure near-unknowns. Which is perhaps less satisfying.Its a very preliminary list. Especially with regards the heroes/quasi-deity sections. Yes thats meant to be 49, typing mistake.Thats do-able, didn't mean to leave Hestia out.Obviously theres no way I can cover every character within a mythology. But I think certainly stats for perhaps the top 20 (most interesting and/or recognizable) deities plus maybe 8 heroes/villains (not counting the monsters) is a decent tally.However, some of the Greek monsters (because there are so many) may end up in a Monster Book rather than within the Immortals Index: Greek Mythos book. Having lots of fun brainstorming for the Elder Titans and Primogenitors, including folding some abominations into the mix.Incidently, did anyone notice that 4E changed the Abominations from the children of the gods to the weapons of the gods. May seem like a minor point but they are clearly no longer portfolio based.  I was planning to present the heroes as PCs and probably elite (?) NPCs too. I want to have one hero for each character Class in that respect. So the final tally will probably be eight with some changes to that list. Orpheus will require the Bard Class first naturally (assuming he makes the list). I'll probably try and have a mix of heroes and villains in there too, rather than just all heroes (though many of the 'heroes' were not necessarily good aligned anyway, so that should be easy).Indeed, however, this won't be my first or even my second 4th Edition book. But I am hoping for a much faster turnover this time around.</blockquote>
