Deities & Demigods

[ColonelHardisson]

Whereas beings such as Fenris Wolf; Jormungandr; Typhon (Uber-monsters if you will) are feared by deities! These monsters perhaps need special attention.

Slap on the "Kaiju" template from Dragon a few issues back...

Gez,

Well I got this tidbit from a relible source inside the S&SS freelancers, so I'm sure that SOME of the CC creatures will make an apperance. Just how many or what is unknown.

I do own Lords of Darkness. I dunno about similiarities...but I DO think a spell battle betwen Penumbral Lord and the Shadow Adept would pretty interesting. Course I still think the Penumbral Lord would win SINCE he's not restricted by a goddess.

Well true, but they could just call it something OTHER than Slacerian. Course it would ruin it for the rest of us, I know BUT then again who know?

So, Proxies can't enter Sigil, being themselves deities now...

HAW HAW! Vecna's minions got the shaft!

I prefer the alignment given Zeus from Legends and Lore 2ed. There he was Chaotic neutral.

Well don't see why you CANNOT make him CN, at least your campaign.

Old Monster Mythologies and Legends and Lore cited

I just noticed that the class levels for the demihuman and monster deities seem to match those from the 2nd Ed. Monster Mythology (Corellon Ftr19/Wiz20/Clr10) for example, and the other deities seem close to the levels in Legends and Lore. I suppose when the Epic Level Handbook comes out, you can just substitute the class levels given in the Forgotten Realms series of deity products (Faiths and Avatars, Powers and Pantheons, Demihuman Deities).

Hi Colonel Hardisson mate!

Won't have that much impact. From what I recall it adds CR+15.

eg. Tarrasque CR20 (I actually think its more like CR24 modified to CR22 using my 'CRs above 20' mechanic.)

apply +15 to CR24 and you get CR39, which is modified to CR29.

CR29 might challenge a single Quasi/Hero-deity on its own but it will be insignificant fodder to anything above Demigod status.

As far as I can tell WotC infer that gods equal CR30 + Divine Rank*.

*The pros (simplicity) the cons (is Zeus 70HD/DR19 equal to Odin 60HD/DR19? and how do either fare against 60th-level Epic Characters?)

So Odin is CR49. Kaiju + Divine (adding Quasi/Hero-deity Power) Tarrasque is at best CR34. Well below Odins threat range.

Well there's already a web enhancement folks as some might know. Unforunately no divine monsters. Still the new guy has some potential, not to mention makes for a FINE foe as far as the quasi-deity thing.

BTW, regarding deities' power to create magic items: What do they have to do to create magic items this way - e.g., just like normal only that they don't need the Feats, or...?

I am curious about this myself.

Also the Sword of Kas is +6 (+14 total), are there other +6 (or better) weapons in D&Dg I wonder.
