Also, you need to consider that your divinities are vastly intelligent and superhumanly creative and clever. Since we as people are neither vastly intelligent nor superhumanly creative and clever, that will be simulated in a couple ways: first, you can bring in reasonable "OOC" knowledge - for example, since your divinity knows that wood floats, he can make the "leap of insight," and figure out how to shape boats such that they can support large amounts of weight. Second, I'm letting the tribes be a little less intelligent and clever than groups of regular humans, so as to give you room to grow.I'm gonna have to inject a bit of realism into those numbers, though. I don't believe that a regular eagle would be able to carry 25 pounds and still fly; I don't even think they weigh much more than that. I have a friend who is a biologist (and a gamer), and she worked out that 100'+ dragons, would, at best, given hollow bones and bird-like body structure (very light and strong), only be able to glide downward while carrying a 150 lb. man. Fortunately, dragons have super-secret magic powers that let them fly, so we can accept them doing better than that in a fantasy world. Eagles, on the other hand, aren't magic. I would allow advanced giant eagles to carry halflings, though.Go ahead and let me know what you want to try, and I'll let you know what happens.In general: for mundane stuff, feel free to manipulate the environment as much as you want. I have a vague idea of what limits to place on this, and I'll let you know if you're starting to tire of so much divine manipulation of the world, or if you do something that's over the line.Right on the money. Think maybe Kauai in regards to size.Also, just a request: please don't use quotes. They're filling the thread up with redundant material and making it difficult for me to sort through everything. Instead, just list your name, your tribe's name, your tribe's race, and your "area," in the subject line or at the top of your post. For example:Attar - Orcs of the Jasad - tundra and treeline</blockquote>
