Hercules in Deities and Demigods

[Glyfair]

Or perhaps actually Divine Weapon Focus is +3 and stacks with Weapon Focus and Divine Weapon Specialisation is +6 and stacks with Weapon Specialisation!?

This would be my bet. I picture the "Divine" abilities stacking with feats. It just makes the paperwork easier.

Hi all!
I think I just found a third possibility of an avatar's Divine Rank:

Demigod: 5 (no avatar)
Lesser Diety: 6
Intermediate Diety: 7
Greater Diety: 8

That matches the information we have and would explain why Demigods don't have an avatar.

Well.. what do you think?

Hi there!

Possibly!? But if you could be a Lesser God at Divine Rank 6 then you would effectively be creating a duplicate of yourself, so its possible, but perhaps unlikely!?

That is, assuming:

Quasi-deity/Hero-deity = Divine Rank 0
Demideity = Divine Ranks 1-5
Lesser deity = Divine Ranks 6-10
Intermediate deity = Divine Ranks 11-15
Greater deity = Divine Ranks 16-20
Uber-deity = Divine Ranks 21+(?)

Personally I like the -8 Divine Rank theory suggested by Glyfair the best so far.

We know Hermes is a DR 15 and a Lesser Deity, Hercules is a DR 5 and a Demigod and Hera a presumbed DR 16 and a Greater Deity.

Here is my take
DR 0: Unknown - could be Demigod or maybe Quasi-deity
DR 1-5 Demigod
DR 6-10 Lesser Deity
DR 11-15 Intermediate Deity
DR 16-20 Greater Deity

I don't want to speculate on Epic Levels of Divine Rank

<Edit> Hmmm...shows how tired I am. I completely missed UK's message that I'm basically reproducing. Still, it seems most likely.

In case you haven't heard today, Dragon #294 is out.

It is an Epic inspired issue.

Greyhawk deity stats for Iuz; Pholtus; Rao and the big girl himself THARIZDUN!

Suffice to say, I fully expect our American friends to get on it and scoop the info!

The way WotC are playing with themselves at the moment 'we' in the UK will have to wait at least a month to see this (#293 isn't out here yet!) issue!

Same thing here in Austria. Also, Dungeon #91 isn't available here yet, either...

I remember that Hercules was described being dangerous to adventure because of his bad temper.
