[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 6124208, member: 326"] Hey Alzrius mate! :) We always used that rule of thumb in our campaigns. I think I even used it in Ascension with regards determining priest numbers. The quick rule of thumb is: Level 10 = 1 in a thousand Level 20 = 1 in a million Level 30 = 1 in a billion etc. However, the formula breaks down when you consider that it basically exists for mortals not immortals and uses time as a variable (where old heroes will die and new ones take their place as part of the next generation). Given that immortals do not die of old age or natural causes, we probably have to represent that on the formula. One quick suggestion might be to take the square root. So the number of immortals goes down x1.41 per level. If we assume Einheriar are Level 21 then there would be 32 L21 for every L31 or 1000 for every L41 (Norse Demigod) or 32,000 for every L51, 1 million for every L61. etc. [/QUOTE]
