Everyone is saying gods are omnipotent and omniscient in the game. This would mean that they are all all powerful, all knowing, and all seeing. No.Two omnipotent beings cannot share power, or they are by definition not omnipotent. So, what are the gods in D&D?They are ideals given form and identity. Overgods? They keep these ideals in check.CR is a hard thing to call. I agree that demipowers and avatars are about all a mortal PC should be able to harm seriously, or kill; at least under normal circumstances.In general, I give them a CR= HDx2 + DvRx4. This looks rediculous, but when you figure in the salient divine powers, the innate spell-like and supernatural abilities, immortality, and the like, it begins to make sense.For demipowers, avatars, and hero-deities. A Lesser God or more is unlikely to fear direct assault by any character less than 40th level. Also, my gods have more HD and class levels.Just remember, the Judeo-Christian view of God as omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent is inconsistent with a pantheon.</blockquote>
