[QUOTE="CRGreathouse, post: 1121908, member: 474"] [b]I yet live![/b] OK, I've finally read all of this thread, and finished up the CR threads. My mind is filled with many Krust-isms and much information about the IH (most of which is probably too dated to have much meaning, admittedly). I've had my share of good-natured arguments with U_K about CRs, but I stopped when I saw that his level of development was too far along to admit any radical changes to the fundamental system. (The system has certainly improved since I last discussed it, though U_K's hubris about the perfection of his system has also increased. ;)) However, after reading this thread, I've been reminded of how applicable your system is to my world. While I don't intend to run an Immortal-level campaign (as you call them), I do want to flesh out my pantheon more -- and my deities can be killed, by each other or by powerful mortals. Most of this is covered in the second-lowest tier of your classification: Immortals. I'd like to figure out if I have anything you'd classify above Immortals in my world, particularly the next two ranks: Sidereals and Eternals. (I don't think I'd have any Supernals.) For example, there are several examples of gods drawing power from the worship of lesser (not Lesser) gods. There is a definite change in my deities as they increase in rank -- "less and less beings, but more and more principles" as Gez put it. My question, in short: What, precisely, defines a sidereal? You explain them as immortals are to mortals, sidereals are to immortals... but in what ways? Worship? Understanding? How specialized and how abstract are sidereals (usually)? I blame my questions on U_K for coming up with an interesting system. [/QUOTE]
