Stats for Iuz the Evil in 3.5 ?

[airwalkrr]

James Jacobs' reply in Dungeon was a good answer to the question of Iuz's CR. In the first place, PCs should never fight gods to "defeat" them. So asking how high level the PCs need to be to reasonably expect to defeat Iuz is a bit silly. PCs can occassionally thwart a deity's plans however, and the guideline James Jacobs cites from the D&DG is a good one to use.

What about puppies and torturing paladins in the pits of Dorakka?

That's very funny from someone who's avatar looks like Vecna.

Alas, they do not have an Iuz avatar for me.. and my lousy image software on this machine is not good enough for me to create a file small enough to upload.

That's even more funny from someone whose avatar looks like Strahd.

Maybe. But I'm not IuztheEvil.

Alright, so I know next to nothing about Greyhawk. So sue me. But Iuz is a Greyhawk God, right? How come he's not in the PHB with all the others? Heck, to me, he has more name recognition than many that made "the cut".

He's a demigod and very campaign specific.

Well..

Darn it, I don't want to turn this into an argument, because I'd lose for sure, since, as I said, I know jack about Greyhawk.. But from my limited understanding, St-Cuthbert would be even more setting specific, or at least as much, no?

I mean.. Before 3E, I, as a non-greyhawk player, had never heard of St-Cuthbert, but I -had- heard of Iuz (in relation to greyhawk, sure, but still).

Maybe it's because he's only a demi-god. But that raises even more questions for me. I mean, there's a -country- named (and I assume devoted) after Iuz, right? Given the standard "more-follower=you're a bigger dude", what gives?

I am so confused.
