[QUOTE="The Traveler, post: 160667, member: 179"] Must've been a brain-fart on my part. I had started by sorting the Mythos panthon by CR, and must've just assumed as I was listing their ranks for when I sorted the other gods in. Some of the ranks are supremely wonky on the Mythos gods. For example, Shub-Niggurath is 48, which should put her nearly on par with Azathoth. Likewise Tsathoggua has a significantly higher CR than the other Great Old Ones.Yeah, but I'm quickly realizing that some of the special abilities these babies are packing give them an edge over gods they're otherwise equal with. Take [i]annihilating strike[/i] for example. That alone bumps Moradin's power up severely.Didn't include any from the appendix yet. The fact that one's from a monotheistic cosmology, and another two are from a dualist would probably skew this list a bit.Again, it's getting to be [b]very[/b] dicey at equal divine rank, the more I look at it. As I think about the special abilities, a lot of these could seriously uneven a playing field if used creatively. This list I made was kind of quick and dirty, and could probably use a more critical eye to the statistics.Yeah, some of the rankings seemed kind of arbitrary, almost as if they were just put in to give a pantheon a more even spread among the categories. As for quasi/hero-deities, they seemed to just stick those in demigod status (see Imhotep). Lord only knows why. [/QUOTE]
