[QUOTE="trancejeremy, post: 7756906, member: 924"] Demons are probably not the best gauge of power in 1e, as they were essentially ported over from OD&D, despite AD&D characters being much tougher (at least fighters, with more hit points and improving their to hit every level. 2e buffed them up quite a bit. Anyway, I think this overstates article overstates things a bit. I mean, in Lovecraft, Cthulhu got punched in the head by a steamship. In another story, The Horror in the Museum, a Great Old One is apparently taken out with a pistol. Beyond that, it overlooks some of the less remembered of the Lovecraft circle. Henry Kuttner, for instance had a swords & sorcery hero called Elak of Atlantis, who on occasion battled mythos entities, most notably in Spawn of Dagon [/QUOTE]
