Hey, since Might is now on the subject, what about Cyclone's questions of using Might in combat? Like combining tons of Might into a fireball or something. How much impact will that have on combat?


Levels - mean that a god is inherently stronger, has more Might anyway and is just in every way more powerful than the other and therefore should, if they use their strength correctly, come out on top. At worst, they can force the other to spend all their Might and then take them out with their own remaining Might.

Might - The more of it you have, the more powerful the strikes you can deliver. An attack which uses 5 Might as Cyclone suggested could obliterate entire Solar systems. If an attack using higher Might, or an army with higher Might, goes against one of less Might, it will generally win out, unless there is space for tactics and strategy to play a role.

Tactics and Strategy - This is really about the individual and how smart they can be about their battle. If they are very intelligent about it and deliver one act of genius after another, whether they are high or lower level, things should swing in their favour whether due to their brilliance alone, or due to some kind of divine intervention in their favour.

Writing quality - This is just a matter of pure writing quality. Is it gripping? Does it make sense? Is it well thought out? This will be a factor a GM considers when deciding who should win.

Plot line/Player agreement - If the players have agreed what the result will be, then that is that (unless the result is really weird. Like a frail old mortal lizard which can't think and has no magical powers going up against a hero and winning.)

But what if it was given the blessing of perfect good luck? Or is the personal pet of a demigod that would appear if it got attacked?

Edit: Sorry about nitpicking but you saying that made me think about a situation where the lizard would win.

@Venku A demigod's pet can't beat up a hero if it is a small, old, unintelligent mortal lizard with perfect luck. Luck can only get you so far if all your other stats are -100 xDD

What if the lizard was really cute, like a gecko? Cuteness always wins.

By the way guys, Heroes can be extremely powerful beings. Like, bring comets down on you strong. Smite your ass strong. Demigod strong (yes, you heard me Undawhatsyourface, you're going down, Zerabil's munching on your butt!)

Emotion, maybe?

If you descend from a mortal, perhaps you can become the God of Mortals or Lesser Beings? Doesn't sound very impressive, sure, but it would be pretty powerful when screwing with other's creations or in fighting where mortals are used. It could be incredibly useful if you play your cards right and plan well, I think.


Idea is in my shopping bag and out the store's door, stolen. The police are all at the donut convention, they can't chase me down :P

So...does that mean you like it? I kinda got distracted with the bit about donut-Police :P

But, yeah, God of Mortals could be tremendously cool if you use it right and in the right conditions

Yeah, I think I'll roll with it. It falls nicely with ambitions. I'll be a Zamorak-esque (eyes dart back and forth looking for whip) guy that likes followers that are ambitious and try to gain power for themselves.

So I guess so far I have figured out that emotions can be a domain and pride, envy, and ambition as portfolios. I noticed that most people started with only one portfolio (I'm guessing that's a precedent that is expected) but in my case I don't particularly see a problem with those 3. In my view, pride and envy are at least as big of handicaps as they are boons.

Cool. Glad I could help.

Ya, it's accepted that you can start with only 1 Domain and 1 portfolio. I imagine Mortals and Emotions might be seperate domains, but you could probably cram them into one if you said the "Mortal" domain encompassed both Mortals and their Emotions.

So, you could basically be the God of Mortals and all they feel, including Pride, Envy, and Ambition.

I think they might have to be all separate Portfolios, though, but only our fire-whipping GM can answer that

As a Hero, the character will develop and level up until they become a demigod, then they will continue doing so until they become a god. As they level up, they can add domains and portfolios as a god would. That means that by the time the Hero becomes a god, they won't necessarily be a Level 1 god. Heck, he might even be a higher level some of the current gods.

However, he can only start off with one domain and one portfolio. If he wishes to add others later, he can do so. I'll get the specific leveling and Might mechanics up when they are needed. For now, I reckon this is reasonable. If anyone has suggestions or objects, feel free to voice your thoughts.

I was going to just lump mortals under ambition, a portfolio under emotion. Maybe as it went on I could add a specific domain for mortals to increase my power? I don't know but I have a long while to figure all of this out.

Just go with any domain you want. Personality doesn't have to correlate to your God's domain.
