[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 3493847, member: 48965"] The future books, to my limited knowledge so far, give you powers for higher level play. Characters have a "Legend rating" that defines, where on the mythological scale...Hero, Demigod or God they fall. If you want to play Higher powered characters than yes you would have to purchase the book for that level of play, but each level of play is fundamentally a different style of play. Hero: Powerful, but still mortal, think along the lines of the Matrix movies, except without Neo. You battle the children of the Titans who have escaped their prison to have vengeance on the gods who placed them there, as well as Scions whose parent god's designs and maneuverings are against your own. Your battleground in this game is mostly modern earth and the mystical strangeness that has started seeping into it. Demigod: Ramps the power up you have higher level powers that can only be gained through attaining a certain legend rating. You now can take the fight to the underworld and you're semi-divine. I'm thinking Neo at the end of the first and beginning of the second movie at this point. The enemies have grown more powerful and you can travel to a different plane of exsistence, but still aren't powerful enough to reach the homes of the gods. It is rumored that this book will contain at least one new pantheon of gods...but Scion: Hero does give guidelines for designing your own so it's not necessary. Personally I'm hoping for a Native American pantheon. God: Not much has been released on this yet, but a few tidbits suggest...The gods are gone and you now have the power to take their place. Your character can now enter the very heavens and must finish the battle against the titans for good or ill. Powers are Neo and beyond in the second and third movies. So really no "new rules" I'm aware of, but basically a ramping up of the powrs in Scion:Hero for higher level play. [/QUOTE]
