OOC: I vote against using stats or employing the suggested rules. One reason I joined this forum is because it represents a fundamental departure from standard D20 system, and because I have found that trying to quantify stats for beings as powerful as we are playing to be entirely too complicated and frustrating. I suggest we forget about the suggested rules, and stop trying to invent them, because the game slows down and the action stops whenever we focus on this issue. Shara, the rule system you've proposed is methodical and intriguing, you've done good work, but I really think they will just detract from the fun of the game we are playing.

I say I am this powerful and you are not as powerful. I say this does that and someone else thinks otherwise. We have seen the problems that can arise, so we will need some sort of mechanic to resolve things to reduce the number of questions.
As far as I am concerned, as long as everyone agrees I am OK with not having a rules set as well. Things have gone pretty well so far in the story teller mode. We can keep on chugging along as we have until this comes up again. Then we may have to make some changes.
If everyone is more descriptive of things that are created, more specifically, things of Divine concern such as Failure, Albedo and Alyssa, and a few other things that we as Godlings care about, much of the problems can be avoided.
You can create an sblock with game specific information as to what you are hoping to accomplish with the specific entity. Like what you would find in a monster manual, DMG or such so that the specifics do not have to be guessed at.
An example
The Failure
Failure is a many tentacled aquatic plantae horror whose abberant divine power rivals that of a new Godling. A rapacious eater of everything that crosses its path including other Divine Entities. The abomination of Moss especially enjoys the essences of the divine as its quick and ferocious attacks drain the very Divine Essence of those it engages. [/sblock]

I am of the same belief, however we are still going to have problems resolving Godling interactions.Jochannan said:

OOC: If I may borrow a quote: "I love this plan! I'm excited to be a part of it! Lets DO IT!" Just a suggestion, in addition to detailing these things... it might help if we ASK eachother about our creations when we plan on interacting with them. Couldn't hurt, could it? What does everybody say?

I will be unavailable starting at noon today until Sunday or Monday.
Once a few more people pipe in and aggree or disagree we can can move on to the Planar Cosmology and hopefully get that subject finished. I will also get a start on creating IC and OOC Threads, as well as a Rogues Gallery.

ooc: Nah, I'll do it.
The sixth planet. A smeller planet, relatively untouched by the quarreling of the gods. The mages there have become a dominant force, and their commands are followed in fear of the awesome powers they posess. The greatest of these is an Archmage known only as Melkolf. Whether or not this is his true name is unknown. In any event, he is now beginning a truly massive spell... he intends to recreate a grid of portals, that will bridge all Guilds currently in existence. Endovior looks upon this event with great favor, and a cautious eye against divine agents who might interfere.

IC: Jemal nodded to Sharra and the rest of the Gods. "I accept the terms, lady of light, and thank you all for your faith in me. Endovior, I think your warnings a bit much, so long as the flow of souls is regulated there will be no problem.. and if left as is, then soon enough the problems would arise anyways!" He chuckled and glanced at Shara "As for the undead.. I have little control over them, I gave them their new 'lives', and that is all. But for the time I summoned them en-masse in that war, I claim no control over them. I will, however, watch over them as you all watch over your creations."
