You can't hurt the gods!

Post by Halaster Blackcloak »

I've always been of the school that says any mortal, no matter how powerful or high level (Merlin, Elminster, Drizzt, Mordenkainen, etc), can hurt (much less kill) a god. Gods can simply decide that mortal being is annihilated, and it is so.

Drizzt going up against Thor? ROTFLMAO!!!!! :lol:

Well, I found another 1E reference to back my stance. In the 2E MM, under Titan, it says (in reference to Greater Titans):

"Like the gods themselves, greater titans are simply not subject to aggression from non-divine beings. They are never harmed by such attacks."

Amen! (no pun intended)

Completely agree. Unless another god is granting the mortal power to do so in secret or something.
