Sure, its possible to be perma-killed, but all Demigod gets back is half his hit points, which in a situation where high epic PCs are going down is likely to mean he just gets capped again next round. There is another slight disadvantage in that the dragon spirit goes away and leaves you with 1 hit point at the end of the encounter, but usually at that point its not an issue. The only time an epic PC is going to be getting wasted is usually in capstone type encounter, what happens after that is likely to be irrelevant.I think all these EDs have really awesome fluff and I love the open ended stuff they did with the Thief of Destiny. Hopefully the finalized versions will be a bit more in line with the other EDs because I'd REALLY much rather people were picking an ED because of the fluff and not because its just 3x better than any other ED mechanically.</blockquote>
