Then parallel that with the XP/QP difference (which in 4E is roughly x2.5 per 5 levels). So every 10 level jump is x6.25 XP (approx.) which roughly parallels the Solo monster's 9 Level gap being an effective x5 power jump.e.g. So a 33rd-level solo lesser god (Orcus) is equal to x6.25 27th-level Elite quasi-deities (Balor's).   However, the law of diminshing returns suggests that the power difference is the square of the XP difference...because as Orcus starts picking off Balor's (to use that example), the power of the Balor group diminishes. Not to mention that that math makes it more difficult for Balor's to land hits on Orcus.ie. Therefore a character 5 levels higher is roughly the same as 6.25 characters 5 levels lower.e.g. A 33rd-level solo lesser god (Orcus) is equal to x39 Balor's. Which may or may not seem more appropos in the grand scheme of things.All that is fine and dandy so far, and in fact makes a key component in my new army rules.So on the one hand the math tells us that a +10 level jump is 6.25 times better, while the law of diminshing returns tells us that its 39 times better.So the basic framework is telling me that Zeus (Solo 40) is equal to:x6 Vecna's or Tiamat'sx39 Ancient Red Dragon's or Tarrasque'sx244 Primordial Hydra's or Naga'sx1525 Death Titan'sx9536 Nightwalker'setc.My initial idea is that the number of worshippers would increase threefold each level.1, 3, 10, 33, 100, 333, 1000, 3333, 10000, 33333, 100000 etc. 333...+5 Levels100,000...+10 levels33,300,000...+15 levels10 billion...+20 levels...planetary levels33 trillion...+25 levels10 quodrillion...+30 levels...galactic levels3 quintillion...+35 levels1 sextillion...+40 levels333 sextillion...+45 levels100 septillion...+50 levels...universal levelsI'll post more on this later.
