[QUOTE="Irennan, post: 7516443, member: 6778119"] Stupid gods don't really exist. Even the most reckless among them, going by their stats, have INT and WIS scores far above any mortal, and uber-geniuses aren't going to commit stupid mistakes like exposing themselves to be isolated and cut down. Even if a god was isolated from their allies and realm and killed outside of it, they'd just reform in their realm. The only way to actually kill a deity is to defeat them in their realm, and consider that most evil deities have their home in planes like the Abyss, Carceri, etc... which can't be attacked easily. I mean, as I said, the goodly gods tried, they really did, both in personal (like Eilistraee, who nearly died in her attempt to take Lolth out of the picture) and collective endeavours, but they didn't succeed, and that was because they couldn't, not because they didn't want to or didn't care (no one risks their life for something they don't care about). Look, I really dislike the wall too, but I also really like some of the FR gods, as they care for their people. It's not an easy situation where you can universally state that FR gods are careless beings or beings who toy with mortals, though some, perhaps even many of them, certainly are. [/QUOTE]
