[QUOTE="Bawylie, post: 7796848, member: 6776133"] I’d like to help. I’ve never attempted anything like you’re talking about with the numbers. But I did once upon a time have a party of characters fight and defeat a deity. At the time, I basically added a tag to the deity and all its minions: “Legendary.” And the rule for the Legendary tag was that creatures that were Legendary could only be affected by other creatures who were also Legendary OR by spells and attacks from Legendary weapons or implements. So even the mundane party COULD fight the deity, but only after they acquired some Legendary weapons and stuff. In the final fight they had 1 Legendary melee weapon, 1 Legendary arrow, and 1 Legendary wand (or staff? I forget). There was a LOT of juggling between the party members but they did it. And I guess I’d do the same here. I wouldn’t want to huge patch of math or to mess with the HP when I could just have a simple universal rule that covered the concept well enough. And it has a kind of precedent, right? Like in clash of the titans. It takes a Legendary shield to defend against Medusa’s Legendary stone-gaze. And it takes her Legendary stone-gaze to defeat the legendary Kraken. So in a way, it’s already kind of familiar. I know this isn’t quite what you were looking for, but I hope it’s helpful to any degree at all. [/QUOTE]
