[QUOTE="BOZ, post: 2173160, member: 1241"] i think i'll just go with DR 9 on the two draconic gods. Ok, next category is the Demigods (DvR 1-5), which is almost as small of a category as the Greater powers. :) most gods, it seems, fall somewhere in between greater and demipower. After these guys, I'll move on to working up old powers from sources other than Monster Mythology. Most of these fellows are fairly unpopular within their race, or belong to a relatively weak or lowly race. Urogalan (earth, death) N halfling god - creepy fellow. Worshipped by few, but revered by most. DR 3-4 Skiggaret (fear) CE bugbear god - half-mad god with no real followers - DR 2-4 Gaknulak (protection, stealth, trickery, traps) LE kobold - the only kobold god besides Kurtulmak - DR 3-5 Kuraulyek (urds) LE cowardly god of a small, mostly unknown race. DR 2-3 Stalker (hate, death, cold) NE god feared and not worshipped by goblinoids - DR 1-3 Kiaransalee (undead, vengeance) CE drow goddess that once usurped Orcus' power! DR 4-5 for sure. Zinzerena (chaos, assassins) CE drow heroine turned goddess, DR 1-2 at most Diinkarazan (vengeance) CE derro god, lost and half-mad and bound to his throne in the Abyss - DR 1-3 Diancastra (trickery, wit, impudence, pleasure) CG giant heroine turned goddess, daughter of Annam - DR 1-3 Gorellik (hunting, hyenas, hyenadons) CE gnoll god that has had his poition usurped by Yeenoghu - DR 2-4 Laogzed (eating) CE troglodyte god, half-demon spawn that lives only to eat, DR 3-5 Parrafaire (guardianship) CN naga god, DR 1-3 Sess'innek ("civilization", dominion) CE demon lord that created the lizard kings (hey, weren't they featured in a recent book?) - DR 1-4 Caoimhin (food, shy friendship) N killmoulis god, very shy and weak - DR 1 or maybe 2 Fionnghuala (swanmays, communication, sorority) NG goddess - DR 4 or 5 Squelachie (trickery, illusions) CN leprechaun god, the weakest deity in the Inner Circle of the Seelie Court - DR 4-5 HERO/QUASI-DIETIES There's no real need to debate what DvR these guys have - either it's 0, or they don't have one. Each one is presented in Monster Mytholgy, if you have it, and probably only in that book. Each could be a low-level god, or merely just an honored mortal that became the proxy of a god or something (maybe they are mentioned in Planescape products as such?) The only thing to decide is should we give each of them a DR 0, or not. Lafarallinn (elf) Gnarldan Steelshield (dwarf) Kaldair Swiftfoot (halfling) Gerdreg (orc) [/QUOTE]
