[QUOTE="Moon_Goddess, post: 93915, member: 33"] I have to admit, I completely do not understand the consept of Avatars In 2e, when Gods weren't allowed to have stats, and were depicted as formless ideas without true physical manifestations, I could understand the need for Avatars to give stats to. I understood it, but I didn't agree with it. I just droped the whole arbitrary idea and gave the stats and physical manifestation to the god itself. With 3e returning to stated gods with true physical forms I am once again confused as to why we need avatars. Why does the god need a second set of stats? If a god needs to be in 2 places at once, ok, that's what gods do. 2 places, 5 places, 200 places, whatever. They don't need an avatar form to pull it off. I sersiously hope that D&Dg has a No Avatar option or at least a really good explination of why we need them other than just an arbitrary hold over from previous editions. [/QUOTE]
