That's an interesting question. I feel like it depends on the game in question, to an extent. Like, when we sit down at the table, are we all agreeing to play these demigod characters or conscripts, or will it be some mix? I know you said GMing techniques would be the same, but what about the expectations of what a character will be and will be able to do? Generally speaking, I can see how the demigod character has resources that the player can use to open up avenues of play that would not exist for the conscript, and therefore the player of the conscript. But I'd also expect that these are choices involving the players and that they are free to choose what kind of character to play if more than one was available.But I also think it's just a heightened scale, right? Is the demigod constrained by higher powers and such similar to what the conscript may be by more mundane or immediate means? It probably boils down to how it's GMed. And if we're assuming principled GMing applied to both characters, then I'd likely say that there is still the same amount of agency going on.</blockquote>
