[QUOTE="Obryn, post: 4557178, member: 11821"] [B]In case of what?[/B] You roll a random encounter and, OOPS! It's Pelor! Really, if you're facing Pelor, there had better well have been a freaking campaign leading up to it. He's not showing up randomly. Odds are, you've had an adolescent power-fantasy evil campaign leading up to it, and you've had plenty of time to make stuff. I don't know where to start. OK, you're running a presumably evil campaign where the PCs just sit up one day and say, "Heck, let's go out and invade Pelor's home plane!" So, they start raping and pillaging the angelic hosts, and eventually Pelor shows up. They do this all spur of the moment, so the DM of course has no time to prepare, and of course there was nothing leading up to it. So, thought experiment: Let's say this is 3e and you don't have whatever book has stats for Pelor. What would the DM do, then? Why could he not do the same in 4e? The designers do. You just heard from one. I, personally, will never need stats for Pelor. If your campaign is one of the four that needs stats for Pelor, I suppose your DM will just have to do what DMs have been doing for 30 years, and make something up. -O [/QUOTE]
