While I am no believer in the idea that there is a better/best way to stat gods, the DLA approach is an objectively WORST method. I mean, the fiction here is clear, guys. You have a world (Krynn) that contains a theoretical maximum level of 18; you also have gods who physically interact with the setting. It's made EXTREMELY clear in the fiction that breaching the 18-level limit (in the case of Raistlin, being able to channel Fistandantilus/leverage Crysania's power) elevates you from mortal to god-threatening power. This mechanic set is easily dealt with by setting Takhisis at Tiamat (MM1) level power, or just generally maintaining striking distance between deities and capstone PCs... and they elect NOT to do that. Unacceptable by my lights. Again, Krynn should make this easy; the gods are going to be plenty godlike if they end up around L25 while the planet as a whole is stuck at L18 max. The larger point is where to set maximum power levels, at which point a DM needs to look at his/her specific cosmology.</blockquote>
