Well, I too like the Idea of "realistic deities"
When I am not running an epic level campaine, I tend to run a low-magic campaine setting I have been working on for about a year now, and one of the things that I like about it is that I try to keep things in line compared to the average human. 2-4 Hp, 10 AC, etc. Something of 11th level would have almost 100 hp, and ac around 20-25 easy. Such a being would be a "god" compared to the human commoner, requireing an army or a crafty mage or a couple of heros to take down. My power scaling isn't too much different than U_K's in most cases, it just has the possibility of deities on the lower end of the spectrum. I think I had power scaling as follows:
Levels
1-5 - Human norms of skill. 1 being basic, 5 elite.
6-10 - Legendary skill. Few would possess such power.
11-20 - "Godlike" If such beings wern't already gods, they may as well be compared to everything else.
Granded these weren't hard and fast rules, they simply show a range of comparison, so the PCs know exactly how powerful they are, even when they get their butt kicked by the Queen's royal guard.
U_K's stuff I think will help with Ideas for my low-magic campaine, but I do think it is mainly intended for High-level play.
EDIT: Nyeshet! Though pointless to point out since its only 12 hours away, but your ENworld forum profile says you live on the East Coast. U_K does not
He lives 5 timezones away, so anytime he lists, subtrack 5 hours for his timezone discrepency. So 1:00...

Hey guys!
Okay, it took me longer at the bank than I anticipated*, so expect the release about 45-60 minutes later than billed. So about 6:45 to 7:00 pm GMT.
Yes I know, I like to be awkward.
*and no I didn't rob it.

If you have higher dimensions such as the tenth dimension which the mezzarath guard, will there exist elements that possess unique properties or powers unique to the plane they come from like zardazik , darksteel, thinuan ,hizagkuur , mithril ,cold iron e.t.c.and if by chance they are brought back to the lower 3D realms would they develop impressive and devastating powers as well.
I got this idea from a metal from the rpg book synnibar hell iron , little more than a mundane weapon in it's dimension but outside of it , anything forged of it will slay any mortal being regardless of strength or power and ignore the protections any material can offer, and all it takes to kill a foe is to nick them and they have their souls sucked no save, do or will similar elements exist in further books?
