You're right, sorry. Didn't read your note in enough detail.
Correct - if they are "down here" they aren't yet immortals - even the Red Goddess didn't become immortal until sjhe left the inner world wrapped in a big chunk of real estate. She was really dam' powerful, and had great potential, but she could have still been stopped by a knife in the back or a fast-talking con-man. Granted, they'd have faced amazing levels of masteries, but it *could* have been done.
Part of the compromise is "No Immortals in the Inner World". (I'm using "Immortal" to mean "Otherworld being like a God or Major Spirit", not just "someone who can't/won't die")

Absolutely.
My original message was that if and when they *did* succeed, they'd end up in a typical "level of power" as an immortal depending on their level of power as a mortal. I very much doubt that Harrek will actually make it to God-hood - he just doesn't sem to be the type.
