[QUOTE="therealselah, post: 9877126, member: 6981288"] I understand - but my point was being raised on what I know of your CRs, not WotC's. It's a constrained system - particularly when I compare it to what I know in Dicefreaks' cosmology. I'm ok with this, it was just a preamble to my point about how relatively few lesser gods could legitimately challenge a greater god. And this is really part of the point of the whole system is what I'm getting out of this - you have designed for somewhat proximal challenges. And while your point re "like fighting a king without bodyguards" is valid, I know it wouldn't play out that way. The point is to show that lesser gods can viably challenge greater gods in raw power terms, if you have several-on-one. I'm keen to play that out in Dicefreaks' cosmology terms. In fact, it makes me interested about what the Iron Siege would look like if I were to run it again. (A challenge to overthrow Dispater in Dis which I warned people was futile within the limitations of the challenge. Under God Rules approach, it would be doable. And that is definitely its own kind of fun.) You already have my money! Make it April already! [/QUOTE]
