Nik, do us a favour and hit Miburo up for the Hunting deification...?
Oh, gawd....
*prepares*
Why are we here?
"Superboy Prime (the yelling guy if he needs clarification)..." - Postmania
"...dropping an orca whale made of fire on your enemies is a pretty strong opening move." - Nik
"Why throw punches when you can be making everyone around you sterile mutant corpses?" - Pendaran, regarding Dr. Fate
The ocean god makes the call, for a moment every wave in creation hangs in the air before continuing in its ceaseless motion.
With his single eye burning bright blue, the pirate king turned to the assembled pantheon.
"He is coming,"
The air became stifling, tension building as the prodigal son of the Rumbles and Khazan's mightiest fighter approached from whatever distant lands unfortunate enough to have attracted his attention.
Godhood was a small bauble to one such as him but he would take it.

Nice intro. He'll live up to it; he always does.

Semi related, but what kind of stats would a god in D&D 5e have, if they were to have stats?
This was the text I was skimming when making the thread, but it's probably not necessary to specify.
As Roger Zelazny once wrote, "Let it be the place of mystery."

That's usually a caveat for gods anyway, it's true.
While this works from an enjoyment/prevention of powergaming perspective, unless Dungeons and Dragons gods were literally all powerful (they're clearly not), they must have actual stats that can correspond to how powerful they are.
Obviously, it makes sense not to put out stats because someone's going to try to powergame it, and you really just want to put forth the idea that gods can't be fought (though maybe their avatars can, situationally), but this is Rumbles after all. :P
Besides, if someone offered to make me a god, I'd want to know what exactly I would be capable of first. That's just me though.
Side note: The previous thread similar to this was wiped by the board reboot. I double checked to be sure, but it's clearly been a while.

For 3.X here's what they released on the SRD.
Divine Ranks and Powers
Divine Abilities
Extra Domains/Spells/Minions
As the section on "levels" says, they were 20 HD Outsiders that then got another 30-50 character levels. So if you want to build yourself a cool power-build under those guidelines, you can.
The MunchKING is Back! And he is AWSOME!
That sounds about right.
Sky Father and Earth Mother would be Greater Deities (Rank 16-20).
We Pantheon members would start out as Intermediate Deities (Rank 11-15).
There'd be a huge competition between us as to who was the first to be promoted to Rank 16, Greater Deity.
The fur would be flying.
There's also the possibility that the fantasy world the Plot Gods are creating has other pantheons. In that case, we'd be the gods of a particular people or civilization, and as our mortals are in competition with other mortals, we're in competition with another pantheon.
So anybody who thought we'd only be sitting on our asses and drinking wine, no, not only.
