[QUOTE="Khisanth the Ancient, post: 4971277, member: 11368"] Ok, that's big enough for most purposes! The Cosmophage I'm thinking about can fit into Solar System size, since it's basically a living binary star system. How mechanically significant is it? Would it be horribly unbalancing to have a Nebula sized Sidereal? Because I have a character concept for a deity (The Maimed Queen) who is a living nebula, and I really can't justify her as a Demiurge or a Time Lord; she's very specifically a *component* of the universe, though a major one, and one that's lost power significantly. So probably an Old One, downgraded from First One. In 3e stats I've just had to treat her "real" size as being that of her central body, and treat the nebula as a 'special effect', basically an aura; but in 4e I'd like to have her be -literally- a living nebula. Thinking out this character is the only time I've been happy about the underplaying of alignment in 4e, since she'd have to be something like Chaotic-Lawful-Evil at the moment. (Also, does an avatar or aspect automatically go down in divine status when the originating deity does? I have one of The Maimed Queen's aspects as - for all intents and purposes - living a separate life, worshipped by people who have little or no knowledge of the true being. And can an aspect gain power by being worshipped, if this lifts it above what an aspect of that deity should have?) [/QUOTE]
