Message: <blockquote data-quote="kigmatzomat" data-source="post: 1613958" data-attributes="member: 9254">There are two kinds of divine entities in my game.  Those that are bonded to some form of demi-plane (god) and those than are an embodiement of a concept (spirit).  Both gods and spirits are comparable in power.  Gods have an external powersource (their demiplane) while the spirits have near total dominion within their aspect.  Slaying a god is possible but unless you can take control of their demiplane they will be reconsituted, albeit in a weaker form (a la The Primal Order system) until the demiplane's resources are consumed.  Slay a spirit and the concept becomes free until someone else groks it and becomes the focal point.  Killing either is possible as divinity merely grants the "won't die from old age or mortal diseases" form of immortality.  Either entity will die if they are injured and *believe* they will die.  More than one spirit is suspected of never realizing their true power and dying a rather mundane and innocuous death.  However once a spirit embraces their true nature they become most difficult to defeat and are typically harder to kill than a god, though when it happens it is more permanent.  No being in any of my cosmologies is truly omniscient though there are some that can know anything when they want to but won't know anything they don't actively desire to know (think god-like scrying; you can see just about anything but you have to know what you want to scry).  Most divinations are the filtered perceptions of the entities' extraordinary senses.</blockquote>
