[QUOTE="Dogbrain, post: 1610807, member: 14980"] IMCs, deities are not merely reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellly big monsters. Their status comes from being tied to something beyond any individual person/thing/existence. To kill the god of a city, you must destroy that city. To kill a god of storms, you must either destroy storms or replace that god of storms, somehow. The easiest way to do the latter is to found an empire with a different god of storms and then completely replace worship of the first god of storms with your god of storms. However, this can be problematic, since the nature of gods is such that in the process, the enemy god of storms could end up merging with your god of storms, meaning that to destroy the enemy god of storms you would have to destroy your own god of storms. One could in theory enter the ancient myths (rather difficult to do) and change them--but this can have unforseen repercussions. What if that particular god's second bastard son's third daughter was responsible for founding your PC's native city? You've just rewrote the myths--this second bastard son could never have existed in the first place. No PC's native city, no PC. Ooops. [/QUOTE]
