[QUOTE="Anubis, post: 1003041, member: 2358"] Well I have estimated Dai Kaioshin to be a Greater Deity, Kaioshin to be an Intermediate Deity, Dai Kaio to be a Lesser Deity, Kaio-Sama to be a Demigod, and Kami to be a Quasi-Deity. Well, I never really had any plans to translate Namekians, Frieza, Cell, or Buu, but that could all eventually change. I do know Buu would have the relative power level about three or four categories ABOVE Greater Deity, seeing as he likely could kill entire pantheons relatively easily and detroyed Kaioshins effortlessly, and his absorption powers are terribly powerful. Kid Buu would likely be somwhere abound CR 5000, although I'll need the Immortal's Handbook itself before I can even begin to go there. You don't. It's impossible to translate directly, as the Dragonball universe gains power far more quickly than people in D&D. Krillin keeps up with Goku through most of Dragonball, and he is, remember, the most powerful Human in the universe at the beginning of Dragonball Z, yet his power level at that point is half Goku's at aounr 200. So either they gain more power or Dragonball Humans are inherently far weaker (or power spread more thin, which is unlikely considering how often they are threatened and such and always in a state of war). If you assume Krillin is Level 40 RIGHT THEN, then that's 5 power level PER LEVEL, making Goku around Level 80,000,000 at the end of Dragonball Z. (Such an estimate is a guess, though, since power levels after the Frieza Saga were never official.) As such, direct translation is impossible. Believe me, I've tried. (I once tried to translate Scouters into D&D and failed miserably to achieve the full effect.) Anyway, the short answer is, of course, you don't. The best we can do is make things relatively accurate to the best guess by making Saiyans extremely powerful near-epic beings about half as powerful as Leshay when born. I'm still working on details, though. [/QUOTE]
