[QUOTE="Deinos, post: 5428601, member: 74998"] Dregoth wanted to become a real god in part because in the context of 2e, the Powers were all-powerful (until they ran into: The Dark Powers, the Black, the Phlogstion, the Lady of Pain... seems like every 2e setting had its own anti-deity gimmick). Orcus wanted to be a god too, even though in say, Immortals Handbook (or 0e Immortals Boxed Set) standards, he already is on the level of one. And even gods want to be bigger gods. Also, there's plenty of reasons anyone would want to become a deity. Someone who is immortal tier only because of worship, will still want inherent power; likewise, someone who is immortal only because of controlling an aperture, will want something more mobile as well. I would dispute that they were powerful "only" because of being 30/30 level casters; they also had Psionic Enchantments or whatever, uberpowerful spells that only Advanced Beings can cast. Proof that they're powerful for reasons other than just multiclassedness. [/QUOTE]
