[QUOTE="FleshEatingBlackFlutterby, post: 9531514, member: 7040567"] 1. Can avatars go rogue? 2. Is there an upper limit to how many you can create and/or have active at once? As it stands, in 3.5, you can create and have as many as you can afford to pay for. That seems like a balancing factor, but what about strategist gods that might stockpile avatars for a future conflict? 3. What kind of control do you have over your avatar? I currently rule that control to be as absolute as it would be if your avatar were merely an extension of your own self, like your hand or foot, but could you essentially develop alien "hand" syndrome if a part of yourself doesn't get along with another part of yourself (like in Demogorgon's case)? 4. What happens if your avatar gets booted out of your current universe by a Nexus Dragon or similar? Does it become an independant deity, is it still under your control, or is it destroyed? In my games, I ruled that it is effectively severed and becomes it's own self, free of your control. Kinda like when a worm gets divided and grows into 2 separate worms. 5. What kind of backlash is there on you if your avatar is severed or destroyed? 6. What happens if your avatar becomes more powerful than you? ...or is that simply not possible? [/QUOTE]
