[QUOTE="cbwjm, post: 8013881, member: 6788732"] I dealt with Takhisis and Tiamat by assuming that they were different deities, it's one of the pieces of lore that I just flat out ignored. You could go with all deities are demigods. Once they gain a following in a world they go up in rank, a small following might make them a lesser power, large makes them intermediate, and a major following makes them a greater deity. This isn't just in the affected world but out in the planes as well. Only in the material plane does their power fluctuate so that even though they are a greater power no matter where in the outer planes they are, in prime worlds the power they can exert is limited based on their followers. That way when two gods meet in the outer planes you don't get any weird discrepancy where one is a greater power in one world but still a lesser power in the outer planes. You could even decide that a greater power in a single world only counts as an intermediate deity in the outer planes (assuming you still have that rank in your game) but if they manage a second major following in another world they gain the power of a full greater deity in the outer planes as well. I think this is kind of how the primal order deities gaining power though far more simplified. [/QUOTE]
