Message: <blockquote data-quote="DandD" data-source="post: 4558687" data-attributes="member: 55168">Gods that embody abstract concepts, one example being probably the quite modern abrahamian god of Israel in religions originating from jewish belief, aren't like the gods of old, who were acting like mortals, and went to war with demons, other gods, or just had their ways with humans. Other fictional abstract concepts are the Chaos gods of the Warhammer franchise, and they're not like Zeus, Thor, Shiva, Erawan, Susanoo and all those rather human-like gods (some not even mentaly, but also physicaly), which some of the original D&D-gods like from the Greyhawk-setting, or some of the myriad Forgotten Realms-gods (before the next god-catastrophy... haha) seem to be inspired from. Last I read in the 2nd edition Planescape books, it seems that all real-world gods from ancient religions also exist in that setting. All the more they should have been killable. By the way, did they have Yaweh in Planescape too, or was he omitted from the Planescape setting? I guess it would seem so, as TSR appearently changed the descriptions demons and devils into tanari and baatezu.</blockquote>
