XDWell, since we're using Krustiverse scales, I think it would be interesting to look at their 4E stats to see where the Sorcerer-monarchs stand:(levels are converted to standard)42 - Borys (Dragon of Tyr)39 - Dregoth37 - Lalali-Puy33 - Nibenay32 - Abalach-Re29 - Andropinis26 - TektuktitlayBy comparison, Borys is the same level as 4E Orcus, while Torog, the lowest-level statted deity, is 34 solo (or 43). MM1 abominations ranged from standardized levels 23 to 39.With 4E as baseline, at least, I'm inclined to agree that the sorcerer-monarchs are abomination-level in terms of power, while the Dragon of Tyr is in a league close to the demon lords (intermediate deity?). Perhaps Dregoth wants to attain godhood because at level 39, the dragon is the only thing left in Athas that can "give him enough xp to level-up." The alternative power boost of godhood is safer. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />Makes me wonder how high Rajaat is by comparison.PS. I've read from the 4E designers somewhere that the sorcerer-monarchs designations as either elite or solo was mostly a matter of their "fighting style." Nibenay's more likely to fight alongside high consorts compared to Lalali-Puy, so Nibs is elite while Lala is a solo. However, they were meant to be close to each other in terms of power level. If that is taken into account, then it might be proper to consider the elite SKs as solo, even if they aren't statted as such. Personally I like the numbers already. In my game I explain Tek's weakness being brought about by maintaining a ritual that's so far taking him a king's age to cast. (He needs blood sacrifices and still doesn't have enough after all this time) But for those who think poor Tektuktitlay is truly under-appreciated, they might be more properly statted as:38 - Nibenay34 - Andropinis31 - Tektuktitlay (he's still rock-bottom... <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" />)</blockquote>
