I am keeping the can only be killed by beheading. Everyone is subject to luck and these guys are part mortal. so it is reasonable. After all, even Hercules finally bought it by a poisoned cloak. When he died, he ascended to Olympus and became a full god. So just because your mortal body has been killed, doesn't mean it's the end of the road so to speak. After all, they can still be resurrected.
half-gods or demi-deities have an important role within any patheon. for one, they can ease some of the burden off their parent deity's shoulders by assuming some of the responsibilities. For another, they are living examples of their patheon in question and serve as standard bearers for said patheon against the patheon's enemies. And they also serve as living bridges between greater immortals and the mortals who worship them.
