assuming gods are killable, with stats and all that:

do a deity's non-artifact magic items function in the field?

do the deity's spells work in the field?

Just one more thing that makes the deitys powerful

Good thing that they cannot cast it themselves and be immune. (their own antimagic is NOT normal mortal magic)

Sure they can!

They're gods. They do not have stats. They are better than you. THey can make everything that you do, everything that you are, and all things you can possibly become, and make them absolute nothing.

Your magic and powers will not work. Your +100 epic base attack bonus will not help you. Your ludicrous damage means nothing.

You're dealing with gods here. All bets are off.

04-19-04, 03:37 AM The relative power of gods and mortals is a campaign specific thing. In Greyhawk, for example, gods are just hella powerful compared to mortals. In FR, gods are quite killable. In Ebberon, from what I've gathered, at least, they're gods, you're not, end of story.

Those are good old fashioned avatars as far as I'm concerned. The three core books do not have stats for gods, ergo, they do not have stats.
