What is the Hivemind?

[Jdvn1]

Nah. They'd just try to kill one another.... after all, that's what happened in Faerun when Torm kicked Bane's ass.. Both were charged up, for lack of better term, with the sacrifice of their followers, especially Torm. Both died in the fight but it was definitely a fight to the death. A good vs. evil fight. Hence why, now that both are back, they hate each other with a passion that most usually use towards something better like getting laid.....

I keep getting images of DBZ...

It is a stalemate, sure the Good diety could smite all the bad one's followers, but the Bad one could do the same to the god ones and then they are both screwed.

Also, a Chaotic god might go for this deal.

 

[Crothian]

Well, yes, obviously. There must be at least some sort of unwritten rule about deific ettiquite, though.Well, they don't have to be all powerful and able to kill everything with a thought. We're talking deities, not overdeities here. Have you seen the 3.0 Deities and Demigods? They could kill a whole bunch of people at a time, though.

its up each DM to decide how the gods behave and what they can do. And while the gods wrtitten in the D&Dg are powerful, none possess the ability to kill all the worshipers of another god with just a thought.

not if it means there own death. But this are specific probels for settings and DMs to decide and set the rules for.

Well, yeah. I've seen worlds where the deities did try to actively kill each other and followers. And I've seen one where the Overdeity set down specific rules and kept everyone in line.

And while the gods wrtitten in the D&Dg are powerful, none possess the ability to kill all the worshipers of another god with just a thought.

No, but there are abilities that let them kill a whole bunch within a radius of miles as a free action.

Well, a Chaotic god of War might think he can take on another god. If there are two gods that think they can take on other gods, then maybe they will fight to the death. And if one runs away, the other will pursue. Lots of gods are full of themselves too.

I'm not saying it'll happen on every setting, but it'll happen on some of them.

Maybe this was what gave them the idea for DBZ as this was done back in around 1990 when they updated the stuff for 2e. The whole Time of Troubles storyline with the deities....

I'm really under the impression that DBZ is older than 1990. Might not have come to America yet, but, I thought it was OLD.

- Kemrain the, um, Anime Fan? Ish?

I'm going by it's tenure in America. I was probably around a few years longer in Japan before being imported here.
