Thanks Jeff, all mondo cool.

I'm still left wondering about the levels though. I don't want to just pull them out of my arse (if you'll pardon my french).

Relative resistances are all very well, but from they are still relative to something concrete surely? The resistance of the city god is different to Local Broo Chief with warband than to the forementioned Ethilrist.

Looking at the current paradigm (as this is still HQ, not HQ2 time) is the huge wyter power just used to augment? That seems to give sensible numbers. I suspect the God of Furthest couldn't just rip enemies apart with 10w4 ability if that happened to be it's ability. Rather it could augment the chosen defenders with that power, giving a huge augment to a chosen champion, or a lesser one to everybody defending the walls (automatic augment seems to be +9, which is certainly significant enough).
