Deities & Demigods

[Horacio]

She didn't buy it. She got given a load of free stuff, including Deities & Demigods, cos some WotC guy is apparently in love with her sister

What could I do to make somebody of WotC fall in love with my sister?

No Rules for Ability Scores?

If there are in fact no rules for how ability scores increase with divine ranks, does this mean there are no real rules for players advancing as gods? If that is the case, I'm not sure that I'm interested in picking this up...

 

[Vuron]

Of course there is no rules for achieving godhood I think the basic thought is that each DM should pretty much come up with how to do that individually. Similar to the design of artifacts etc.

Sounds more like you're interested in ELH Spatula .

From what I understand, DDg has rules for players to ascend, but keeps godhood out of the hands of player characters (ie, it's retirement effectively). ELH might have mechanics elsewise but who knows.

That said, I have alot harder time imagining a campaign with PCs as actual gods than I do imagining PCs beating on gods but that's just me.

 

[Nightfall]

Well I think there's the usual "sell your soul to the Dark Powers of the Universe deal" to get free stuff... It's probably easier.


I still don't believe that they have CRs for the "gods" for CoC and none for D&Dmg. I'd like SOME consistancy if someone doesn't mind.

(massive amounts of swearing....)

Darn. I spent a half hour composing a series of observations and questions, and then the website ends up locking up when I try to post them. Darn, darn, darn.....


Okay, someone who does have the book, are there strong rules as to what the different senses and magic item creations are determined for the gods? For instance, if a god has "x" for their domains and portfolio, then they can sense "y" and create magic items like "z"? Or are there just general guidelines?

(That's all I care to try to post, right now. Grumble, grumble, grumble....)

What HD/Levels is Cthulhu - I believe he is CR 34 (so I assume they gave him Divine Rank 4)

Nyarhlothotep I had heard was CR 45.

The DR isn't listed -- its just broken down by Demi/Lesser/Interm/Greater...

Cthulu is 42d12 + 378 (882 HP), listed as CR 34 (Demigod).

Nyarlathotep is 35d8 + 490 (650 HP), listed as CR 45 (Intermediate God)

The other CRs for the elder god crowd is:

Hastur = 37 (40 HD Demigod)
Shub-Niggurath = 48 (53 HD Intermediate God)
Yog-Sothoth = 45 (60 HD Intermediate God)
Chaugnar Faugn = 25 (30 HD Demigod)
Cthugha = 21 (27 HD Demigod)
Dagon =14 (18 HD Demigod)
Eihort = 27 (25 HD Demigod)
Glakki = 17 (19 HD Demigod)
Ithaqua = 25 (27 HD Demigod)
Mordiggian = 30 (30 HD Demigod)
Nodens = 38 (30 HD Lesser God)
Shudde M'ell = 21 (27 HD Demigod)
Tsathoggua = 39 (35 HD Demigod)
Yig = 27 (30 HD Demigod)

I'd say more, Krusty, but the Wizard folks would be sending the Wild Hunt after me if i did...

Hi there!

The DR isn't listed -- its just broken down by Demi/Lesser/Interm/Greater...

I know - but its possible to perceive the Divine Rank if you 'read between the lines'.

Cthulu is 42d12 + 378 (882 HP), listed as CR 34 (Demigod).

42 + 24 (Divine Rank 4) = 66 Effective Levels = CR 36

Nyarlathotep is 35d8 + 490 (650 HP), listed as CR 45 (Intermediate God)

35 + 68 (Divine Rank 15) = 103 Effective Level = CR 43

The other CRs for the elder god crowd is:

Hastur = 37 (40 HD Demigod)
Shub-Niggurath = 48 (53 HD Intermediate God)
Yog-Sothoth = 45 (60 HD Intermediate God)
Chaugnar Faugn = 25 (30 HD Demigod)
Cthugha = 21 (27 HD Demigod)
Dagon =14 (18 HD Demigod)
Eihort = 27 (25 HD Demigod)
Glakki = 17 (19 HD Demigod)
Ithaqua = 25 (27 HD Demigod)
Mordiggian = 30 (30 HD Demigod)
Nodens = 38 (30 HD Lesser God)
Shudde M'ell = 21 (27 HD Demigod)
Tsathoggua = 39 (35 HD Demigod)
Yig = 27 (30 HD Demigod)

Hey thanks!

Wow! 17 all in all!

It looks a bit trickier to determine their CRs - (I would only be guessing Divine Ranks before seeing the book; fingers crossed - tomorrow!? )

Incidently, with the exception of Azathoth; Shub-Niggurath and Yog Sothoth, they haven't used any other Deities I had pencilled down as Overgods (9 in total from the Cthulhu Mythos)

I'd say more, Krusty, but the Wizard folks would be sending the Wild Hunt after me if i did...

Funnily enough I outlined the Celtic Pantheon earlier:

- Dagda: 20HD/Barbarian 20/Druid 20/Bard 8 Divine Rank 19*

*and hes not the best in the Celtic Mythos!

 

[Nightfall]

Krusty, remind me again, what's Azathoth's divine rank? Does he even HAVE a divine rank?

What's the URL for the D&D stats for one of the Cthulhu creatures? It's on the WOTC website, but I can't seem to find it. Nor can I find the thread that contained the link.
