[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 7836733, member: 4937"] I've never had PC's in my game that are gods either, but that the PCs are gods or are temporarily wielding godlike power is not something I rule out of my games either, nor is it something I can rule out of all possible games. See for example the rather well done 'Tales of Wyre' stories on this site. I believe I did say that I would tell the player what the character believed was possible or impossible on the basis of their understanding. All I said was I wouldn't stop them from firing arrows at the moon. Ah. Well, again, the task isn't impossible. It's just impossible for most PCs. Your example makes me feel old. In the first of the Tarzan novels, Tarzan fires arrows at the moon to drive off the leopard god that is trying to eat it, thereby saving the moon and his tribe. Alone of the tribe, Tarzan is unconvinced that his actions actually drove the leopard away, but he has no other explanation for the events that transpired. [/QUOTE]
