Message: <blockquote data-quote="Naoki00_" data-source="post: 5615592" data-attributes="member: 99243">to Oryan77- Purhaps I should explain a bit more, it's not that the gods don't matter nor are we exactly invincible. to but it more simply it's that normal mortals are beneath us. Demi-gods and the like are more near our power level but there aren't too many of those, and epic level NPCs aren't exactly common place. we still aren't powerful enough to kill gods, effect them yes, control them with subtly and trickery, yes.  the main character (mine) has the potential to become Ao's equal, which is her goal (she's basically Ao's illegitimate child from the original goddess of all magic). No I do not expect us to not be challenged at all, in fact I expect a slightly uphill battle in the long run,  however this is only a small bit into the campaign to be honest, purhaps 4-5 sessions only (slight memory lapse on which one) and we've already encountered these things. no god or being knows the great threat to multi-verse is loose and yet these things are happening. think of it like a good villian's build up, where they build and build until the hero's finally rear their heads....though this time the hero's end up slaughtered and now the gods have to start getting worried. We haven't been able to even exploit our characters role play aspects because we're shoehorned from it. Purhaps part of the issue is that our group (the only group we have by the way) is much more role play centric usually and so combat broken characters aren't an issue, not many fights happen after enough shows of might. The adventure of this campaign is playing out the all-powerful villain, by mortal stand point our characters are beyond their reach mostly, and climbing up the ladder into the god's realms...not really through just fighting, but confusion, tricking nations into going against each other, weaking the gods by making their worshipers kill one another all while staying out of the gods eyes until the moment to strike them down one by one. that kind of adventure, we haven't won yet, heck we haven't hardly been given the chance to begin....And now finally to OnlineDM: this is our only group, we're all long time friends besides our current DM whom we've known for only a few years, and this is the first time this has happened to us...also, our DM isn't the one that came up with this plot. I did originally with it's first DM, another of our friends. After it's first draft he found that he couldn't handle a plot that had this level of complexity and power in it and so after a time of being gone it was taken up by the current one when we all agreed that we would love to have it done again.</blockquote>
