[QUOTE="kigmatzomat, post: 3277582, member: 9254"] Boy howdy, does it. I was in one D&D 2e/TPG campaign, where a pantheon of gods was being killed of by a constructed godslayer plague. We, the mortal champions, were uplifted to demigod status and told to find the source of the disease. (Note, mortals didn't die from the disease but they were mind controlled so the divine uplift was necessary) We were dinky godlings and were still horrifically powerful. IMC now, I use TPG for my divinities using two different sets of rules for each; spirits are bound to the prime material plane (which does not regen avatars) while the gods have their own demiplanes. Spirits have a huge primal flux but are more limited since they share the plane and thus their avatars won't regenerate (they stay dead). Gods have much less flux except on holy days when their worshippers provide boosts but their planes will regenerate their avatars. The net result are spirits that act like the [i]Incarnations...[/i] series while the gods are individually less powerful but far more free in their actions. Death of spirits and gods is much more common in my cosmology, though mortals very rarely manage to pull it off without finding an already-weakened divinity and putting the boots to them. Spirits are much easier to assassinate, like the Incarnations, but another one tends to pop up in short order. [i]anyone from the Spirits of Krinn campaign stay out or I'll give Burne your XP. [/i] [spoiler] I will be surprised if the conclusion of my campaign's overarcing plot doesn't involve the death of at least one divine being and I could easily see up to a half dozen gods and/or spirits biting the dust. The players could, in theory, become Spirits but it is very unlikely. Fortunately, I figure I've got another 2 years before the plots are sufficiently resolved for that to occur, which should put the party at around 30th level, up from their current 20th.
