10w9 - at least in 'what they do'

Yes, he'd have Kill You 10w6 and Death Magic 10w6 and all the support of his worshippers and followers. But I think there's more to it than numbers. To kill Humakt, you'd have to _be_ Humakt.
But that's getting a bit too philosohical for me. One of the darkest
moments for me in gaming was when Deities and Demigods came out and
my
players started doing 'pit matches' between different gods.

Oh, I am having _such_ a Forgotten Realms moment. =) That's what happened to the fellow who killed Bane, god of War.
