[QUOTE="Deinos, post: 5621088, member: 74998"] Hey UK, thanks for the quick reply. I gotta ask more questions then... Ah, well, I thought you said something to the effect that normally a pantheon will have one greater god, and the rest will be lessers and intermediates... I thought the intent was that they would remain at that balance of power indefinitely. Cool. Although managing to beat your own private Surtr is a big thing (probably an event that could trigger Worship Point gain) I might think you don't really gain Quintessence Points from doing so, since the Pantheonic Destroyer and others have Quintessence that is a byproduct of your own Quintessence... presumably. I would assume these attacks happen more on the basis of dramatic necessity than "wellp, I just finished regenerating, time to do the same thing I do every night: try and kill the Norse Pantheon!" Or perhaps they don't want to waste their effort and make themselves look stupid by attacking every weekend. I have to wonder, though. If the anti-pantheon eradicates the pantheon they're attached to, do they destroy themselves, or do they simply become non-indestructible? Could they keep themselves in indestructible existence by slapping a few surviving hero-deities in cages somewhere, or is it an irresistible compulsion? True. So would they be viewed as less of a threat? That's a cool idea. Oh, okay. Yeah, I was wondering to what degree tutelars and worship-fueled deities follow the usual rules regarding transfer/loss of quintessence... so if a tutelar dies, his aperture loses 90% of its power, does that mean that a soul object also loses 90% of its power if the bearer dies? I was also debating whether the custodian of an aperture should have their divine realm automatically centered on the aperture -- possibly even a divine realm that remains the same between owners -- though this raises the issue of what would happen if a god with an existing divine realm takes over an aperture. Is it possible for multiple apertures to be created in close proximity (such as by the 100-wish method) and if so can an immortal tap into multiples at the same time? I was rather imagining a sort of throne room with the throne being at the central overlap of an array of apertures. Well I'm thankful. [/QUOTE]
