However, I find this exercise much more interesting.  I like to see what you come up with when you have constraints. The myths are all over the place and there are usually multiple versions of the same myth.  If we take the assumption that all of the myths are false to some extent, then how do you go about creating a "real" Achilles?  I think Mike's done a good job of that.Additionally, since Mike has done the hard work, all you need to do to get what you want is add a few points of strength and dexterity and your good to go!So my take would be:  Achilles wasn't really a demigod, he was just a really good fighter.  Athena, Ares, etc. didn't really participate in the battle, Diomedes was just a badass.  So how do we stat these "real" heroes.  I don't know that is [USER=6726030]@Mike Myler[/USER] 's thought, but that is how I see most of these <a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/mythological-figures.670680/" target="_blank">Mythological Figures</a>.EDIT:  I understand what your saying as well, it is just that I am happy to see a different perspective / approach than just giving everything uber stats to satisfy an impression of a mythological figure.  I did that in middle/high school (you should have seen my stats for Conan), not as interesting as a 46 year old father of teenagers!</blockquote>
