First thoughts - if we want to keep some of these characters as greater gods, we should give them more responsibilities. For example, karvas is the greater god of torture and suffering (at a 19) - that seems like a very limited scope for such a high power level. I'd rather give them bigger topics to control than down them in power, though - For example, include that Dennis is the sun god - just the fact that everyone in the world will venerate the sun at some point (i.e. "Please, Dennis, give me a cool day today to work outside") will give him worship. Like, Karvas could be god of fear or something; to me, Baish should be the war god. It doesn't have to be his only portfolio item, but it would seem weird to have a world with such conflict and no god of war (i.e. "Lord Baish, please help us win this one!"). > > Guys, > Can we try and nail down a few of the definites?
