Deities and Demigods Question: Strength?

[RangerWickett]

After a quick and rough calculation, I figured that a person with a Strength of 300 could lift planet Earth, perhaps even Jupiter. I'm wondering what the Strength scores of the strong gods look like, and if they are just plain nuts. So, what are the Strength scores of guys like Thor, Hercules, and Kord?

 

[Dahak]

Kord's is 55, as is Herc's.
Thor's is 92! (I havn't done the math to see if this is a typo or not...)

 

[Avatar of the North]

thor's base strength isn't 92. Thats a result of his artifact belt DOUBLING his strength

 

[ColonelHardisson]

Yeah, Thor's is enhanced by his belt, so he can lift and wield Mjolnir.

Herc's strength, as I said on the other thread about d20 Supers, is 55. I figure Supes has to have at least that. Still, I could see a case being made for him at least matching Thor with the belt, and having at least a 92 natural strength

Use the Mighty Contender of Kord PrC from Dragon 283 (Brb1/Cleric4/Mighty Contender 10/Frenzied Berserker1)
22 STR orc
+16 Werebear template (at cost of 4 levels)
+4 while raged
+4 Rage spell (DotF)
+6 when frenzied
+2 Mighty Contender level ups
+4 level ups each 4 levels
+4 Righteous Might
+4 Two Arms of Nyr
+4 Greater Aspect of the Deity
+4 luck from Mantle of Egregious Might
+10 inherent from Primal Release
+21 from the Surge of Power 10th level Contender ability: grant an enhancement bonus to STR equal to 1.5 times your combined cleric and contender levels for 1d4+1 rounds
= 105 STR (for 1d4+1 rounds)

Ubaar bellows out while drunk - "Hey. Thor... wanna arm-wrastle?

Ahh... that pussy Kord... I twisted him in a pretzel.

Hi Ryan!

After a quick and rough calculation, I figured that a person with a Strength of 300 could lift planet Earth, perhaps even Jupiter.

Strength 410+ to lift Earth...if I remember correctly.

The strength scores of the gods seem pretty fair. However, once the Epic Rules are upon us, expect to see ability scores ascend past 100 (and that would be from characters of comparable levels to the gods, albeit one min/maxed ability).

One playtester on the Wizards boards a while back remarked how he was able to construct a character with 135 strength.

Apparently one of the Epic Feats allows you to increase your ability scores by one.

Imagine if you got a hold of his cool belt!!!

Thor doesn't break a sweat because of his salient divine ability "Indomitable Strength". As for Kord... get the salt.

 

[Dispater]

How can you get abilities above 100 with epic levels? Are you saying 40th level characters can armwrestle Thor?

 

[Crothian]

They needed to write up Magni, Thor's son and the strongest of all Norse gods. He's even stronger the Thor when Thor is wearing the belt.
