[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8416604, member: 23751"] Let's not go with him. I said 5e for a reason. 5e is where demigods suddenly stop being able to grant spells, so you need to show a cleric from this edition. Otherwise it proves nothing. Cult fanatics are not required for cults. Unless you can show in an official document that Yeenoghu has fanatics, we only know for sure that he has the non-magical cultists. Caesar wasn't a demon god that brought demons to the country to do demon things. False equivalences are false. All those guys had entire countries! No, wait. They had very small cults, because most people aren't that easy to indoctrinate. You have to find and groom the special ones. You know that WotC had to go over and approve it all, right? This wasn't a DM Guild release. Doesn't really matter. He's a demigod in 3e and who knows what now. Don't give a fig about a wiki. I went to the horse mouth and looked at the Faiths and Pantheons. You're going to need to show an official WotC book that promotes any of them, not a wiki for power level. Quasi-deities(demigods) are still deities in 5e. They just cannot grant spells. Nothing else you have mentioned says anything definitive about their power levels. For instance, the demigoddess The Red Knight was also called god of planning and strategy in 3e, not the demigod of planning and strategy. Can you prove that they have been raised in power? [/QUOTE]
