[QUOTE="Just Passing Through, post: 9773862, member: 7025960"] I also enjoyed the sneak peak look at a purview and some boons. I am curious as to what you would put as the most powerful “official” being in the dnd multiverse, and what divine rank they would be. You have quite a few options among statistic less entities: Overpowers like Ao. as well as his mysterious superior who was referenced exactly one time and never again. Cosmic entities like the lady of pain and the serpent The heavy implication that the entirety of the abyss is actually a living creature. You also apparently have some planet sized creatures in spelljammer that are explicitly beyond the capability of even powers to harm, though I honestly don’t know much about them. Even amongst creatures that technically have stats throughout the different editions, there are some real wild ones: Draeden from BECMI are fully capable of fighting multiple immortals at once, with about 40 attacks a round and hundreds of hit dice. Constellates from 2e spelljammer technically have a stat block in the loosest sense of the word, their hit points is listed as N/A, they deal an average of several thousand damage in a multi hundred mile cone with each attack (in an edition where the max hit points literally anything has is about 300), and are explicitly capable of crushing planets into dust. There is some creature in 2e planescape that I forget the name of, that has infinite reactive wish spells per round. Yes, infinite reactive wishes every round. In 3rd edition you have great wyrm time dragons, and also some extremely powerful outsiders (such as a paragon infernal epic assassin with some of its statistics being close to triple digits.) And there are probably more that even I don’t know about, both with and without stats. Trying to compare all of these beings and put them on a power scale is very difficult for a number of reasons. Many have never had statistics made for them, were made as pure plot devices, or with assumptions that are difficult to translate to other editions. But a rough estimate of what the strongest being is in official DnD would give a starting point to work with. [/QUOTE]
